You hyperbole. It's a problem well recognized by posters on this board and certainly by the Mavs as well, but I wouldn't accuse them "padding their stats."
It's a strange dynamic. More than ever Kidd's worth on offense completely depends on Dirk making shots. Whenever he doesn't, Kidd is basically useless. When you go with West or Roddy, which can create their own shots, you sacrifice touches for Dirk though. Should be noted that Dirk actually gets more assisted makes with West and Roddy on the floor, more catch and shoot J's. With Kidd, they post him up a lot.
