Dallas/NJ: The Search for Nashty's Replacement Continues

[aexchange]

Antoine Walker/Laettner/Howard for Kidd/Alonzo Mourning

Mavs take on the two Kidd's. Jason and El KIDney (Geez, I crack myself up with my Dad jokes)

But in all seriousness with the Nets looking to slash payroll, dont be surprised if the Mavs go this direction and pick up a more durable PG than Nash who could run Nellie's offense

[grndmstr_c]

If Cuban wouldn't pay Nash's contract I wouldn't expect he'd pay Kidd's.

[aexchange]

nash is a fragile top 5 or 10 point guard.

kidd is a top 2 point guard and has proven to be generally more durable than nash. having kidd play for another 6 years is a less risky proposition than have nash play another 6.

[MavsFanFinley]

Nash may be fragile and I'm not sorry he's gone, but have you seen what Kidd is to be paid for the next 5 years?

04/05- $14,796,000
05/06- $16,440,000
06/07- $18,084,000
07/08- $19,728,000
08/09- $21,372,000

No way Cuban goes after him with his age and knee issues.

[grndmstr_c]

Kidd just had knee surgery, and has 5 years and 90 million dollars remaining on his contract. I just don't see it happening.

[Jamisonite]

I PRAY IT DOESNT HAPPEN

[bernardos70]

I wouldn't be oposed to that trade. Plus, kidd is just THAT much better than Nash defensively. Offensively, he could shoot a little less....... way less..... but I don't think that'd be a problem. Huge contract? Yes, but I'd definitely say he's more durable.

So: better passer, better defender, worse shooter. That's 2 out of three, I'd take it.

this is stupid...the reasoning goes like thisL: they say no to Nash getting old and too much money and then go out and get a point making far more money with a history of bad knees....not too logical

[EricaLubarsky]

I still dont think that Kidney jokes are funny

exactly.

Isnt Kidd older? Worse for wear after last season?

[Hitman]

Jason Kidd is worth the money. He is the best point guard in the league by far. I would make that deal

[smallballer]

Kidd's three point and jump shots are worse than mine. He is an excellent passer and runs a team well in halfcourt and on the break. Bottom line too expensive and getting older, not worth thinking about.

[cheesestar]

i dont like the deal because:
1.)kidd's contract
2.)kidd's knee surgery might force him to miss some of the season
3.)after the surgery he might be even more injury prone

[jayC]

Kidd never was a superstar isn't today and never will be a superstar. So why pay him, he can't shoot. He is the most overrated player in the NBA.
