There are enough scorers on the team. It needed some passers. And who cares if Kidd can't defend Rose worth a ? Does anyone defend at the all-star game?
Kidd is no longer all-star caliber at this point in his career. His selection is not justifiable regardless of what type of player he is and what type of players the more deserving guys are. Just chalk this up to Cuban's ing and move on, no need to try to justify the unjustifiable.
Nuggets coach George Karl said Thursday night he likely will choose Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki over Denver's Chauncey Billups to replace injured Lakers star Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference starting lineup for Sunday's All-Star Game.
"My gut feeling is I would choose either Chauncey or Dirk, and to be honest with you I'd probably lean towards Dirk," said Karl, who will coach the West all-stars.
Karl cited the game being in Dallas as the reason why.
"Yeah, the karma of the game is 100,000 people," Karl said. "I think it would be good to give Dallas a representative. They've had a good year."

Yeah, Nash and Deron totally suck at passing.
Of course hes not all star caliber. Thats why it took half the league getting hurt for him to sneak in.
Kidd will make the game better with his passing, will lead to more highlights for sure.
That said, he isn't All-Star caliber, even as a call up after injuries.
And I never said the Kidd would be my choice for the ASG. Its just that, considering the players left, it doesnt seem like that ludicrous of a choice. The ASG being in Dallas certainly didn't hurt either
He's not worthy of being a replacement either. He had no business sneaking in. Not when there's like 10 players that wouldve been more deserving replacements.
I've got no problem w/ Kidd playin'. Starting? Maybe not, but it's just a ing spectacle.
It's not THAT big a' deal. Not sure why everybody's gettin so riled up.
