The fact that Avery wants Kidd to score more really makes me wonder if he's ever watched Kidd before. Hes NEVER been a high percentage guy. He's NEVER been a top scorer. He's one of the best point guards ever because of his ability to make others better. Taking the ball out of his hands 80 percent of the time is just idiotic.
Considering Nash never averaged 9 as a Mav under Nellie, i'm not sure you can say that. If you take the ball out of the playmakers hands, how does he create?

I agree with you on that. Kidd needs to be given more of a chance and let him do what he does best, but I would still say that overall the trade has been a disappointment and Kidd has n't played as well as I expected. The trade was supposed to make us much better and put us over the hump, and I just don't see it even if Avery wouldn't meddle with Kidd.
