That's pretty much where I come out on this as well. If things were as simple as just a Kidd for Devin swap, then I think the Kidd-Mavs would definitely be better than the Devin-Mavs. But it's not that simple. The Mavs would have to give up several more pieces, make the huge financial commitment, etc. They would have to give up a lot and there's a real huge question as to for how many more years Jason Kidd can be the Jason Kidd we think of today. Some players age gracefully, I don't think Kidd is going to be one of them. When he starts to decline I've got that feeling it will be quick and drastic.
