The first full day of NBA free agency brought some clarity to Jason Kidd's forthcoming travel plans, with league sources telling ESPN.com that Kidd will likely make visits to two Texas teams in the next week.

San Antonio, as expected, will be the first stop. With all of New Jersey hopeful that its All-Star point guard will elect to sign a lucrative long-term deal to stay with the Nets, Kidd is planning a Sunday-Monday trip to tour the Alamo City and visit with Spurs officials, as he told ESPN's Jim Gray on draft night last week.

Kidd and wife Joumana are then expected to proceed to Dallas next Tuesday and Wednesday, sources said, to confer with the Mavericks, who share Kidd's interest in exploring sign-and-trade possiblities that would return the All-Star guard to the team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 1994. The Mavericks are already negotiating with Miami free-agent center Alonzo Mourning, Dallas' No. 1 target with its $4.9 million salary-cap exception.

San Antonio and Dallas, fresh off a six-game tussle in the Western Conference finals, are apparently the only teams Kidd has considered for visits so far. Kidd told ESPN last week that his list of possible destinations also included the Denver Nuggets, who -- like New Jersey and San Antonio -- have the ability to pay Kidd a maximum contract, worth an estimated $90-100 million over six seasons. The Nuggets, though, sit far from the NBA's elite, and Kidd has said repeatedly that playing for a championship contender is his chief concern heading into free agency.

The Mavericks can only acquire Kidd via sign-and-trade, which can only happen with the Nets' cooperation. Of course, if Kidd is intent on leaving the Nets and chooses Dallas as his destination, Nets president Rod Thorn would inevitably consider the possiblity of a sign-and-trade, given that Dallas would be able to offer one of two top-level point guards (Steve Nash or Nick Van Exel) in exchange.

Other free-agent developments on Tuesday include:
