Jason Kidd cannot begin contract talks with the Nets or other suitors until July 1, but he indicated yesterday that the Nets' plans for the rest of the team would be a factor in his choice of an employer for next season.

Kidd said he would begin making plans with his agent, Jeff Schwartz, who was expected to arrive in New Jersey last night. But his first questions concern the team's plans for Kenyon Martin, who is up for a contract extension, and Lucious Harris, who is a free agent.

''What will they do with K-Mart?'' Kidd said. ''Where are they going, the Nets? I don't want to say 'they,' but where are the Nets going? K-Mart, they can redo his deal in August. Lucious is out. So I have to get some answers and hopefully, they're the right answers.''

Rod Thorn, the Nets' president and general manager, said, ''We will address issues as they come and attempt to do the right thing.''

Kidd has maintained that his decision will be based on where he has the best chance of winning a championship. That has only fueled speculation that he will wind up with the San Antonio Spurs, who beat the Nets in the N.B.A. finals.
