Terry played PG during crunch time of the biggest series in Mavs' history. With the best player in the NBA defending him. Yeah, he's awful at it.

But I believe Kidd was out there directing traffic so he wasn't the point guard. Without Kidd out there, Terry wouldn't even have been able to do anything.

One of the biggest, most uninformed myths on this board is that Terry can't play PG. He absolutely can. In fact, in relatively short spurts, he's quite good at it.

Not according to the Mavs FO. Since the 06 or 07 season, the Mavs have not run Terry out as point guard.

Honestly, the argument for Kidd over Terry at SG at this point is bordering on absurdity. Kidd is almost 40 and can't do anything other than spot-up shoot and play very limited crunch-time defense in spurts. And the latter isn't even that useful until deep in the playoffs. We need a SG who can contribute consistently over an entire season. We don't have the luxury of picking and choosing for late-game playoff situations exclusively.

Jet didn't contribute consistently last year either. And his game (being undersized, can't dribble left, etc) does not warrant longevity either.
