Kidd Re-Signs with Mavs, 3 years $25M

[Ghazi]

Cmon Damp isn't that bad!

[Ditty]

What do you care about the amount he's getting? How does that affect you as a Spurs fan?

This Tony Parker bull again...great. How'd that work out for him this year?

By the way, Barea is still around. That's what Parker should be worried about.

because yall are paying a guy 8 million a year about a little less than ginobili gets a year for a guy whose numbers are going down, so mavs are going to be non players in the next years fre agent marker(if they even were) next year

it worked out pretty good individually he pretty much almost beat the mavs by himself if he had someone else to get at least 10 points we would of beat yall pretty easily

o well it wont happen next year

barrea lol? too bad mason was on barrea that whole series, because parker was on kidd, barrea didnt do on hill

like i said we will see next year

Again, what does the money matter? The Mavs, like the Spurs, will not be joining in on the illusion that may be the FA Spending Bonanza of 2010.

Mavs could have paid Kidd 6 or 60 million over 3yrs and it wouldnt affected there cap situation one bit since they are so far over

[Ghazi]

So many overpaid s in the league and people are acting like its an egregious overpaying of Kidd for 3 years 25 million? Gmafb. T-Mac's getting nearly triple that!

Also, if last year is any indication, Kidd getting 8 mill is better value than Ginobili getting 10 mill

[Shank]

How to get Marquis Daniels now...

Rings talk.

Aaaaaaaand we're almost done here.

nut thinks that every move in the NBA must somehow relate to his Spurs and thusly makes the comparison. Get off it.

well sorry er i had to throw in the rings part

well this is the NBA and there is one championship and every move by everyteam can effect your chances

and plus i just brought up tony parker issue i never brought up any team issue

[Brickhouse]

Kidd isn't overpaid at all, this is a pretty fair deal IMO. In spite of his age/dropoff he's still a top 10 PG who gives:

1. 40% 3-PT shooting
2. premier rebounding PG
3. capable wing defender
4. good passing (duh)
5. durability-missed only 1 game outta 126 as a Maverick
6. Intangibles-people mock that "2nd best player in league" thing by Cuban, but its based off respectable statistics such as on/off and adjusted +/-, both of which Kidd finished in Top 10 last year. So even if his box scores aren't impressive, Kidd still has a significant impact on games. Not insinuating he's a top 10 player, of course, just saying.


We love our Kidd!

Yeah Kidd and his intangibles were really helpful in the playoffs when the mavs needed him the most. Good thing he had all those turnovers in the Denver series and defended Chauncey so well.

Expiring contract genius....you don't know NBA basketball..please stop posting. Thanks

That's summer of 2012, not the summer of 2010. Not as epic or important. Just saying. And I was merely trying to state that Jason Kidd at 39 will be useless and creaking around the court

[The_Game]

WTF

thats the same offer Odom has been offered by L.A

[VivaPopovich]

$8M/yr ain't bad.. around what he's worth

[iggypop123]

8 million is a great day. isnt he the best point guard in the nba according to cuban?

[Sportstudi]

kidd didnt even average 10 assists this year

defintly rather have barrea or bring beaubousis or whatever back

well spurs fans can live with kidd getting $8 a year

tony parker will sure have a good time

And who averaged 10 assists this year? Only CP3 and DWill. Tony Parker? No. Kidd was still No. 5 behind these two and Nash and Calderon. Was there any possibility to get one of these four? No. Kidd is getting older and facing a drop, but he was the best possible option. Barea as the starting PG? No, thanks.

Dear Mavs,

Miss me?

[sabar]

Good value and good move by the Mavs. Anything else would of been a massive downgrade.

[Danny.Zhu]

2 years is way too much. The problem is there's no one left.

If Mavs can keep the money for Gortat, they have a chance to land Iverson or Bibby.

Why?

[Stump]

Good value for the first two years, not so sure about the third. If the last year is partially guarenteed, that could give the Mavs a lot more options later on.

[monosylab1k]

Such as?

Well Rasheed Wallace just signed for the MLE.

"But he's freakin old!"

He's also a proven commodity, unlike Gortat.

Wallace would have been great. Then we'd really have no comeback when people call the Mavs a jumpshooting team.

Yeah I forgot all about how Marcin Gortat has established himself as a dominant post presence in the league.

How have all those white centers they mavs have rolled out in their history faired...

Bradley, Meyer, Parks, Montross, Shasky, Dreiling, Grandholm, Anstey, Podkolzin, Eschmeyer, Sundov

All were spairs, I was going to put Lafrentz on that list but his performance compared to these guys above makes him look like Wilt or Bill Russell
