I still don't see how the 2008 version of Jason Kidd gets us over the top.

2007-2008 season average thus far
PPG 11.3
RPG 8.20
APG 10.4

The only person averaging more boards/game is our big german.... We are talking about a guard, not a forward or a center.

And that assist average remains one of the elite few.

I have no doubt about Kidd's ball skills, but I refuse to give up 1/3 of our team to get him.

Those two stats are terrible, especially in our offense where you can't turn the ball over and as a point guard you need to be able to make some shots. He has always been a poor shooter, but this year it's ridiculous. That is almost Eddie Jones bad. We really don't need his rebounding, we are already a more than solid rebounding team and his numbers would take a huge dip.

He also would not get double digit assists with us, the offense is not built to get many assists. Do you want him and Eddie Jones to spot up on the perimeter and launch three days all day long because they can't get to the basket ?

Devin is shooting 48 % from the field because he can drive to the basket, something this team needs.

We don't need him for scoring, leadership and mental toughness is what i want from Kidd.

He is the most inconsistent player in the Mavericks and when he does decide to be more aggressive, it's only for 5 minutes.

He would still have to hit the open shot though and he can't do that.

As long as Avery is the coach he will the leader of that team, as a former point guard he won't let someone else take over in that department. Kidd would also not come in and be very authentic after whining that much in recent weeks.

I know, but that's still five minutes more than most of our other players

I know Kidd is having a bad year when you look at his FG%, but the dude hasn't been happy all year long and i expect that to change if he comes to the Mavericks.

One thing you guys are not talking about is how Kidd would actually make Dirk, JT, and Josh better. Kidd will get them the ball where they're most effective. He's also still pretty good at leading the break. Adding Kidd would mean a lot more possessions just because of his rebounding. I'm not so worried about his shooting with guys like JT, Josh, and Dirk on the team. All of them are also more than capable of taking the least shot. Having Kidd on the team would mean that they would get a better shot.

One interesting thing about Devin:
