Sorry. He's on the decline, he has a poor work ethic and questionable attitude. And he's going to be making a lot of money for the next 6 years.
Tying yourself to that kind of player is anything but a no brainer.

What's the point of keeping Kidd if we're not going to win a championship? You NEED to mix things up, or else Cuban might as well blow the whole damn thing up. His pockets are deep enough for Davis, and besides that, the real prize of the deal is Kaman (or Camby).
His contract may be horrible, but if he was motivated to win a ring (and i'd like to think all NBA players want to win at least one...), playing fourth fiddle to Dirk, Howard, and Kaman doesn't seem like such a bad role for him. Would he be an overpriced fourth option? Hell yeah, but what's the point of bragging about an owner with deep pockets if he's not going to use them?
