The idea that scoring more points is the key is oversimplified and adding another scorer doesnt add that point total to our season average. There are only a finite number of posessions and honestly having a smart PG that doesnt turn it over, and gets steals and rebounds gets us more posessions for the rest of the team to use. In fact the very idea that you would bring scoring into it is silly. There are legitimate criticisms of Kidd (that he cant penetrate anymore, etc) but scoring is one of the silliest.

Now the whole point is ridiculous anyway because you are listing players we can't in a million years acquire even if we had amazing trade pieces. You might as well complain we dont have Phil Jackson, Josh Smith, CP3, and Ray Allen on the team too. Its about as likely.

An equally stupid post proposal: we cant get anywhere with Terry at the 2. Elite teams have guys like Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant. We could get one of those guys or Damien Wilkins. Blah blah blah. Whine whine whine. etc etc

Take your stupidity elsewhere
My biggest complaint with Kidd is that the team can get in situations to where it needs another guy that can drive to the bucket and score. Kidd can drive to the bucket, but he rarely scores. Often, defenses won't even bring additional defenders his way when he drives because they know he's not looking to put the ball in the bucket himself.
