To me, it's more a case of Kidd being underrated, people act as if just because he's past his prime he's done or something.
I mean son, we're still talking about a guy who can give you 80+ games a year, shoots 40% from 3, is a capable wing defender, and has crazy adjusted +/- and on/off statistics. Top 5 in assists, top 5 in steals, one of the better AST/TO ratios in regular season, premier rebounding PG still, etc.
Yet some make that trade out to be a Gasol like heist in favor of the Nets... some thing we would have been better off with him walking, some would've traded him for injury prone losers with fat contracts like Kaman/Davis... then you have idiots like mavsfan spewing garbage like Kidd does absolutely nothing, is crap, etc.
And then others who act as if 3 years/25 million is THAT bad for Kidd, who still IS a fringe top 10 point guard? Give me a break.
Kidd's the man.
