How do you be a point guard playing a run and gun team like Phoenix and have only ONE assist at halftime? Ah, how the mighty has fallen. He should hang it up after this season. Never should've traded Devin Harris. And that is EXACTLY why we didn't trade for a veteran last month. You can't give up and coming players for has beens.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. A guy who nearly won MVP is now good for 9/8/6. And he didn't even make the All Star team. So yes, his play has declined. Big time. Learn the game, then post.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. So what if he has one assist at halftime? You're basing Kidd's season off of one game? Are you serious? What's his average in assists? 8.4. He's 5th in a league, but yeah, he doesn't belong in the league anymore. Kidd still plays at a very high level ; sure his production has declined. He's about to turn 36 years old. You think he would play like a 22 year old his whole career? Name one player that does. Honestly, how could you even debate that? Brandon Roy had a 6 point game this season. Why isn't his ass retiring? He clearly doesn't belong in the league according to your logic. And he's much younger than Kidd. Go figure. Harris would have never been the player in Dallas that he is in NJ. But I'm not surprised you haven't figured that out, yet. Your post is silly. I can't believe I actually took the time to even answer it.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. Roy is an All Star. Kidd is a FORMER All Star. And no, I DON'T expect him to play like a 22 year old. He's 36. His game has declined. He is done. You have to admit he doesn't have more than 1, maybe 2 seasons left in him. Harris wouldn't have been the same player in NJ, no doubt. His role would be different. But they would've had a very talented PG with upside for the next 10 years. Harris would've given the Mavs more than 9 points, that's for sure. If you think the Kidd trade was a good trade for Dallas, then you absolutely do not know the game of basketball at all. They got thumped in the first round last season and are looking to get thumped again. Don't get me wrong, I'll be thrilled if they sweep the Lakers. So I'll be rooting for Kidd no doubt. But 1 assist in the half?? In a half with more possessions than the average game? The guy's game has declined. Learn. Post.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. I wouldn't. Three reasons: A) Kidd is used to commanding the ball 100% of the time. I want the ball in Roy's hands more often. Kidd's too old to change the way he's playing and still be effective. B) If Roy is doubled, we need a PG who can hit the open three to keep the defense honest. Blake is a much better shooter than Jason. C) Blake will still be playing pretty effecient basketball in 4 years when we are winning championships. In 4 years, Jason Kidd won't be playing basketball. I want Blake to grow with this team now.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. By the way, I'm rooting for Dallas in this game and I'd be fine if Kidd had something to do with it. I was just making an observation. "Done" was hyperbole, but I was just pointing out how much his game has declined. He's not nearly as effective as he used to be and why should he? He's old and his career is coming to an end.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. Do you think so? I think Blake is our backup PG of the future (best backup PG in the league) and I think he'll be here for the next 8-10 years.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. Uh oh. Kidd is a 40% three point shooter. My bad. In this case, I needed to learn the game before posting.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. Maybe but it is pretty damn close and if you take their salaries into account I say no way. I think Blake is probably a better fit for the Blazers then Kidd but I'm not sure.
Re: OT: Jason Kidd is done. Roy is an All Star and Kidd is a FORMER All star. Okay, what does that mean? His game might have declined, but in no way is he done. You act as if a decline means you have to retire immediately. Stockton's game declined through the years. He played till 40. Harris would have given Dallas more scoring, but the thing is, that's not what they were looking for. They needed a point guard that would do other things, mainly distributing the basketball. And they did get kicked out of first round last year. It wouldn't have been any different with Harris. Do you realize you're talking about one game? Or has that yet to go through your head?
Okay, I cleaned this thread up. If you want to discuss this topic, do so civilly. If you don't want to discuss it or consider it to have no merit, don't post. Posting insults or other violations of the rules will be edited/deleted, whether it comes from a moderator or not. Thanks.
Re: Meant to post this in the Kidd thread Sweet! A new Kidd thread! Mook, or whatever his name is was comparing Kidd to Kobe and LeBron? Made no sense. Of course Kobe and LeBron aren't done. They're way better than Kidd. They don't average 9 ppg and disappear during games like Kidd does. Please. Stupid comparison.
