THE Lakers are angling to shoplift Jason Kidd, a Western hearing aide claims, for a couple draft picks, Kwame Brown’s expiring contract ($9M), Jordan Farmar ($1M) and Vladimir Radmanovic ($5.6M with an additional $19.2M over the next three seasons). Not unexpectedly, the Nets aren’t interested in assuming Radmanovic’s long-term guarantee. There’s nothing not to love about Farmar, yet New Jersey already has a promising, young caretaker in Marcus Williams.
