Kidd is still a smart player, who once in a while will put out a play that only geniuses can, but after a year being with the Mavs, his numbers, the Mavs record, tell a clear story. Kidd is very faint shadow of what he used to be, and there is no reason to be apologists about that. The Mavs might not have been a contender with Harris this season, but they would have been better. I don't want to re-open the whole debate, but while it's pointless debating with people who only want to bash the FO for the trade, it's just as worthless to debate with people who are extreme apologists.

Kidd gets burned far, far less often on defense than most of the rest of the roster. The only guy who has really given him consistent trouble is CP3, and CP3 owns the hell out of Devin too.
I've got to wonder if you actually watch the games, or if you just sit there and try to turn everything that happens into a "what would that have looked like with Devin Harris" hypothetical.
