I dont trust JT (or Kidd) to contribute as 3rd fiddle in the playoffs. That is what I've been saying.
Ok but the second fiddle in the equation is important. When Josh and Jet were here, they kind of took turns being quasi-second scorers, but neither of them had enough talent to do it properly, nor did they draw enough attention to make life easier for the third scorer in the equation.

My point is that if you get a true second superstar, that's going to make life infinitely easier for guys like Jet, who can truly just be role players instead of being counted on to pull the load every single night.

If Chris freaking Paul is playing with Dirk, Jet is more than fine as a third scoring option, considering what other pieces are also around. (IMO)
