The problem with Kidd-for-Harris is that you're trading one strength/weakness for another...
If you're going to trade Devin's slashing ability for Kidd's passing ability (good move), then you also need grab someone who can score in the paint in a second deal (either slasher or low post) - that's where Cuban and Donnie failed...
Jason Kidd isn't the problem so much as the Kidd Trade was the problem - we gave up too much and had nothing left to grab a guy who can do what Devin did, despite getting the best single player out of the deal (and your a blithering idiot if you think a 26-year-old Devin Harris is anywhere near as talented as a 36-year-old Jason Kidd...)
Maybe Gerald Green will end up bringing what Devin brought, but it's still too early to tell... In the meantime, we still have another trade to make if the front office wants to back up their "win now" mantra...
