Devin Harris is a better player than Jason Kidd

[Findog]

Devin Harris with a Jason Kidd impression tonight:

5 points in 36 minutes on 0-4 shooting from the floor, along with 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. He did have 5 turnovers though. Nets lose.

For the season, he's averaging 17 points and 6 assists per game on a sizzling 39% shooting, including 21% from behind the arc. Muy Caliente! At least we know that he can shoot and Jason Kidd can't (41% from the floor and 39% from three). Iron Man that he is, he has appeared in 24 out of 34 games. Old Man Kidd has only managed to appear in 34 out of 35 games for Dallas.

I would say they're both worse than Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson...

Or Grant Hill.

Give Jason Kidd a team with limited talent and he takes them to the NBA Finals back to back years

Give Devin Harris a team with similar talent and they are almost on par with some of the worst teams in NBA history

Worst trade ever!!!!!! Lol mavs!!!!!

[Findog]

1) Kidd is still a better player than Harris. Harris would demolish Kidd in a game of 1 on 1, but that does not make him the better NBA player.

2) Swapping them straight up does not make Dallas better right now.

3) Dirk is playing the best ball of his career alongside Kidd instead of Harris. Anybody who has watched him since the beginning of the 08-09 season would easily concede he's even better now than he was from 2005-07.

4) I'd rather have 80 games a year of Kidd than 55 games a year of Harris.

5) The two first-rounders Dallas sent to the Nets are in the mid to late twenties because Dallas wins 50+ games every year. For $3 million, Dallas can buy a late first-rounder with Cuban's deep pockets.

6) It's true Devin Harris will still be in the NBA in 2014 when Kidd is beating his next wife, but the Mavs made the trade to get better now, and it worked. Harris is not some transcendent player that Dallas will regret giving up. It's not Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant's draft rights.

I find it hilarious that this is getting mentioned as one of the worst, if not the worst, trades of all time, when it's clear that both teams met their goals: Dallas got better in interim, Jersey salvaged a nice player considering Kidd wouldn't have resigned there. Joe Johnson for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers was worse.

I want some fish and chips.

i honestly dont know what devin harris has been up to this year.. its like he doesnt give a rats ass anymore. i swore he was better then this

One side thing that trade did that worked wonders for Dirk was that it removed the responsibility of being the sole leader out there. Both Kidd and Terry shouldered a lot of that load, which I thought got to heavy for Dirk.

Seriously you had to bring that trade up? Ugh that one made me sick to my stomach. I knew Joe Johnson was going to be a badass.

Shouldn't be that hard to understand, Tacker

Is a team that consists of Lucious Harris, Kerry Kittles, Kenyon Martin, Ian McCullough, Richard Jefferson, and Rodney Rogers that much better than

Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee, Robin Lopez, Josh Boone, and Chris Douglas-Roberts

Devin Harris can actually penetrate and finish at the hoop, unlike a 50 year old J Kidd. Devin Harris plays very good man defense at his position whereas Kidd is so ing old and slow the Mavs start him at shooting guard.

Although in their defense, KMart went on and finally inked a max deal along with an ugly ass tat on his neck, while RJ finally settled and won two championships with the Spurs riding TD's last legs...

This thread is funny and was certainly not being made when Harris was ting all over Kidd last season.

End of the day, Harris gets the last laugh. While his team is blatantly tanking for a top 5 pick and waiting for Lebron Kidd will retire a ringless on a ringless franchise. Oh yeah and those two draft picks.

He can penetrate and finish the hoop and play good man defense but what good does that do when you can't get your team to win more than 3 games? Jason Kidd may not be his old self but he can pass and make teams better.
