Against the top teams his limitations are clear, their organized defense reduces Kidd to a liability, and teams that are not sloppy with the ball don't give him the chances to play the passing lanes the way Kidd wants to. Harris is today a better player, and with him we probably weren't going to win the west. With Kidd, definetely not.
I just want Mav fans to get over the idea that somehow we have a true star running our team. We don't. This is not 03. Kidd today is a nice player at best.

Aye, aye, aye
Just b/c Devin is quicker he'll put up a better fight but still not play any defense and get burned? How is that better than what Kidd does?
If we weren't going to win with Devin why should we have stuck with him? I'll say without hesitation that Devin is a better scoring and can get to the lane better, but that's about all I'll say with confidence that he does better than Kidd...maybe get hurt more frequently.
Passer, rebounder, defender, leader: all of it
Kidd > Devin
