Jason Kidd talks about his future

Jason Kidd is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2011-12 NBA season, and although he would love to stay in Dallas, the veteran point guard is open to hearing what other teams have to say.

"We'll see what happens," Kidd told. "(I'll go to) whatever team wants me. I would love to end my career in Dallas, but we'll see what happens this offseason."

Kidd, 39, a 10-time All-Star, started his NBA career in 1994 in Dallas, where he spent two-plus seasons with the team before he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Kidd returned to the Mavericks in 2008 as part of an eight-player trade with the New Jersey Nets. Last season, Kidd won his first NBA title with the Mavericks.

"I want to keep playing until I can't play anymore, which could be soon," Kidd told HoopsWorld. "The big thing for me is I love playing the game. I love doing whatever I can to help my team win. Until that point comes—the end—I'll keep trying to do that."

Whether that career continues in Dallas remains to be seen. The Mavericks are expected to pursue free-agent point guard Deron Williams this summer. Dallas has been busy trying to create cap space to lure a marquee free agent.

In 42 games this season, Kidd is averaging 5.9 points and 5.2 assists per game. Both marks are career lows.
