For every Josh Howard there's a Mo Ager, Nick Fazekas, Leon Smith, Cherokee Parks, Loren Meyer, Tony Dumas, Wang Zhi-Zhi & Chris Anstey.

Things that don't work with this trade:

1) who is back up center after dampier.....dirk? bass??

2) this is a jump shooting team....what exactly will change here. more assists to jump shooters? GREAT! still doesn't change the fact that no one drives to the rim.

Things that don't work with Harris:

1) who can set up the offense with maturity and make good passes to find open guys? Harris? Terry??

2) this is a jump shooting team....how exactly does Harris help, other than the fact that he and Terry both have been completely incapable of running an offense that needs movement, thus this team runs EVERYTHING out of isolations, which leads to more forced and bad shots.

I've said it ever since the Mavs lost the finals in 2006... the issue with this team is not defense, it is OFFENSE. If we had someone that was capable of running an offense and getting the Mavs easy scores when their offense stagnates, we would have won the finals, despite what Wade was doing. Keep in mind we lost 3 games by 3 points or less, and Harris didn't do anything, as he completely lost focus and sucked all series as soon as Alonzo blocked the crap out of a couple of his shots.

If we had someone that could help get us easy buckets against Golden State, a team that has NO center, we would have won. They have a load of players that play very good man defense, but when you throw a lot more motion in there, they get lost defensively VERY easily, and give up all kinds of easy buckets.

Plus he gives us a bigger stronger body at PG that plays some solid defense, for guys like Deron Williams, Baron Davis, etc...

Kidd will be a lot better for Dallas than most people think...

The mavs just confirmed to me that they are done. Kidd at 35 is not going to make up for all those players we lost.

Josh Howard

Wow...I feel old.

[DAF86]

This trade made the Mavs worse at that time, if we are being completely honest.

Avery's unwillingness to adapt made the Mavs worse.

Mavs got better with J Kidd immediately. At the beginning of the trade the Mavs kept losing close ass games so everyone thought it was Kidds fault when it was just poor luck.

GREAT ING TRADE
