Knicks Meet With Veteran FA Jason Kidd

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The New York Knicks have met with Jason Kidd on the first day of NBA free agency, CBS station WCBS-TV reported.

The Dallas point guard and his agent met Wednesday with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and coach Mike D'Antoni at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are interested in Kidd, but plan to be cautious in free agency because they want to save salary cap space for the summer of 2010.

Walsh told reporters that no contract offer was made to Kidd, who is exploring his options. 

Dallas is also interested in keeping Kidd, who was a member of the U.S. team that won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. Owner Mark Cuban was also in New York Wednesday to meet with his point guard about a new contract.

The Knicks also have said they'd like to retain two of their own free agents, forward David Lee and guard Nate Robinson, if the prices are right.
