Bottom line, Kidd is NOT a scorer like Harris...but Kidd is a bigger overall playmaker and creator which results in making everyone around you better.
With Kidd, Terry can lock up the SG position and not have to worry about bouncing around as a 6th man/PG/SG waiting on Harris and his upside to show up.
We now have one of the best Guard tandems in the league. Kidd/Terry will be shades if not better than the old days of Harper/Blackman.
The team is better today than they where a few days ago...how they finish, we will see.
Keep in mind that the competition in the West is perhaps the best it has ever been. Do you realize that if the top 16 teams made the playoffs that 11 would come of the West...the sad part is that NJ with Harris has a chance to make the playoffs with a losing record, while the Mavs with Kidd have a chance of missing the playoffs with winning record.
At the end of the day, this is a great trade for both teams and Dallas has put themselves in a position to make a run at the title, one game at a time.
