Kidd told me his jersey retirement will take place before tipoff Oct. 17 vs. #Heat. He said he didn't want ceremony to take away from game.

Kidd told me Paul Pierce is among crew that's already been getting it in at #Nets facility. Said it shows "his dedication, his leadership."

I asked Kidd if he wants #Nets to dial back the #Knicks chatter and trash talking: "That's who my guys are. They have to be who they are."
