Until the Mavs choke away a 2-0 lead in the NBA finals against a much crapier team than them, Jason Kidd aint done for that franchise.
Nah, that trade was spectacular because by moving JJ Chris Wallace got to clear playing time for his lottery draft pick, future super-star Kedrick Brown.

Jason Kidd > Manu
Barbaro > Manu
You realize that Harris has a very ty team round him, right?
A ty team in which he's not even the best player on. Everyone knows that.
Harris > Kidd > Manu > Dirk
You realize they were a borderline playoff team before Harris got traded there, right?
Yeah, byt they got worse from that point
Why? they just made a blockbuster steal of a raping of a trade with Dallas, which should have improved their team by leaps and bounds according to all the Spurs fans here.
I thought Devin was supposed to be a #1 piece?
He is doing the best he can.
But there is such a negative energy around that franchise right now...
So he's that bad?
So let me get this straight - With Jason Kidd the Nets were a borderline playoff team. After making the TRADE OF THE MILLENIUM and getting Devin Harris Christ, not only do they miss the playoffs, but rather than try to build a championship roster around HarrisChrist/Carter/Jefferson the GM decides to blow the whole thing up and rebuild.
Makes sense
The truth is that Kidd has more left in the tank than people gave him credit for and Harris got more touches last year as a co #1 option in NJ than as a #4 option in Dallas. It's not a bad trade for either team: Kidd wasn't going to stick around for that mess, so the Nets got something for him, and Kidd is a much better option for the Mavs with Dirk's window closing.
Harris is a good player, but I think teams are learning how to defend him better...especially without Vince Carter to worry about. If his jumper has regressed, he becomes an infinitely more mortal player. You can just pack the lane on him. I think it's obvious by now that his status as a cornerstone for a franchise to build around is in flux. He can be part of a contending team's core, but he can't be your main piece. If the latter were the case, the Nets wouldn't be 2-23 or whatever they are now.
Anyway, right now: Nets > Spurs
As I said last year while everybody was gushing over this trade, Harris is very overrated..he has also become a horrible defender as he's established himself as an offensive threat..
I remember the Mavs nation was feeling so blue... this time last year... 121-97 loss to the Nets where Devin exploded for over 40 points and 10 assists.
Just goes to show how quickly perceptions can change... especially about that trade. I don't think regardless of how this season turns out Mavs fans will say "if only we had Devin...".
do people really still talk about this trade? Really sad how people still talk about it. It happened so long ago here's what we all should know
Kidd is old and Harris will never be as good as Kidd. Now with that said everyone should stop watching basketball and go find Pikey and Frankie and met them, because Pikey and Frankie are both better then Kidd and Harris put together
Vince Carter
Richard Jefferson
lol, thread.
Yeah, that's my point. Did you even read what I posted ON THIS SAME PAGE?
At least now it's confirmed you're a in re .So let me get this straight - With Jason Kidd the Nets were a borderline playoff team.

If anything Devin has seriously regressed ever since he left the Mavs. The freedom of being the number 1 option on offense has made him forget everything that once made him good, defense, penetrate and dish, fast breaks. He has become a bad volume shooter, and nothing more.
Same thing happened to Smokey when Avery wanted to build him up as 1b option on offense, he stopped doing the things that made him successful up until that point.
Good trade for both teams. It should just be left at that.
Kidds played fantastic this year for us.
Matzel, matzel, good things.
