Did we win the Kidd trade?

[LnGrrrR]

What are you coughing at? The post I responded to talked about Kidd as the second best PG. #1 is not even debatable. Why would I mention him if he's already #1?

Derp a derp. Totally misread that. My bad.

And I don't think Kidd displaces Isiah or Stockton, tbh. Both of them are more worthy of the 2 and 3 spot, in my eyes.

Oscar is 2. That's not debatable. Stockton is 3, though I can see how the rings push Isiah to 3rd for some people. Kidd is 5th. Cousy 6th and after that it gets a bit blurry. Nash is somewhere in the top 10 with Frazier and the Pearl probably. CP3 has a chance to get there of course. I don't know about Rose. Will we remember him as a PG, or as slightly more pass-friendly AI?

I'd put Isiah ahead of Stockton without thinking twice. People forget how dominant Isiah could be and was, especially early in his career.

I think Isiah is actually a little underrated because a.) he was at his best before the Pistons became a le team, b.) his being the best player on those le teams was overshadowed by the Bad Boys image and c.) he was always in the shadow of Bird, Magic and MJ.

I'd say he suffers a bit from the "Billups syndrome". Yes he was the best player on those Pistons, but they were very much a great team like the 04 Pistons rather than a good cast built around a great individual. But I can see why people can put him above Stockton. It's not something I will argue to defend.

Isiah was a great player, not a very, very good player.

Those who just read names on a page and try to rank them are almost always missing the boat on this. Zeke was incredible, very dominating. He cannot be dismissed with the wave of a hand because of the newer, more "now" and exciting group.
