Then you can't believe that the entire sports media full time insider industry was kept in the dark?
Then you can't believe Luka Magic himself and his entire team was kept in the dark?
Then you can't believe that Lebron-King-of-NBA himself was somehow kept completely in the dark?
By all indications, this was maybe the most secretive private major transaction in the history of the game with 2 guys and their immediate owners being the only people that actually had to know. Even facilitating team, Utah says they only were made privy to their part in the transaction and were not told what the full trade deal was they were participating in.
So if all that is true as it appears to be then yes, its very possible that Jason Kidd was also kept in the dark. His job then was simply to agree with Nico's direction in a general which is why I imagine he insisted that it was made public the decision making part of the deal was not his.
They might have left their spying phones at home. LOL
