And then there are the details, which are ugly. According to the New York Post, Kidd was extremely drunk, argued with his wife when a female fan wanted a picture and reportedly was carried out of the club.

A law-enforcement source described the alleged boozed-up baller who has a history of domestic-abuse and anger-management issues as having cheated death by just a few feet when his 2010 white Cadillac Escalade, racing at least 60 miles an hour,'' slammed into the pole, bounced off it and landed in shrubbery.
According to the report, Kidd refused a breathalyzer at the scene of the accident. He was evidently so drunk that as he was being processed and fingerprinted, he was singing.
Kidd was then rushed back to the hospital, according to the report, because of a complication with a sleeping aid he took.

Guessing after he got kicked out of the club, he hightailed it solo to his Hampton's crib. Ironically he crashed into a utility pole, causing Cablevision outages in the area.

I seriously think this is plausible.

Felton deal is rumored saturday night at 10pm or so. Rumored Knicks won't match for Lin around the same time.

4 hours later, 2am or so, Jason Kidd has had too much to drink and drives drunk.

Kidd said he was thrilled to be coming to play with Lin. We haven't heard a peep from him since this news of Lin leaving broke.

For all the people who were so utterly outraged that Melo said "ridiculous," I hope you find this puts things in perspective. THIS is what should cause outrage and a call for accountability.

Good point.
