yes if Devin Harris = Ray Allen
No - The team is now weaker in crucial areas
Yes - Kidd is what is needed to get them that championship
I have been having a running discussion with some bleeding heart Mavs fans about whether or not the Kidd trade was a good one or a bad one.
So, I figured put it to a poll, do you like the trade from the Mavs perspective or not?
Simple poll, was the trade good for the Mavs? Are they closer to winning a championshiop now than before the trade?
Personally, I love the trade because I think it helps my Rockets, as I believe they got weaker at the 5 spot, and they lost some serious speed and shooting on the perimeter.
Sure Kidd is a great assist guy, and rebounder, etc...but he is old, has slow lateral quickness, and other teams will force him to be a shooter in the playoffs, thus the Mavs got weaker.
What do you think.....????
Good or bad trade from the Mavs perspective?

yes if Devin Harris = Ray Allen
Kidd FG% this year is .381 and his career FG% is .401
Harris FG% this year is .467 with a career FG% of .468
If you were the opposing team, which player would you dare to shoot the ball?

The Mavericks are who we thought they were! And we let em off the hook!
vs. Spurs, it was a bad trade
vs. other teams like Suns, Lakers, it was a good trade.
Mavs chances rest in not meeting teams like Spurs or Utah
I think their record post trade which is like 14-11 is enough to prove it was a bad trade.
DD
Fluke record.
LOL from McVeigh...nice.
RD, you think 14-11 is a fluke? What it should be worse?
I believe that you are what your record says you are......
DD
your poll lost. you fail. you.
America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.
Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat
It's like a broken record around here.
Hey DD - how did the Drexler trade work out?
Lost? In an opinion poll?
No worries, my side will be proven right over time........I should have made this a public poll.
DD
A very valuable point.
And the Kidd trade may indeed prove to be Drexler like, and I will admit it if I am wrong and the Mavs win the championship.
But, if they don't, I seriously doubt people who like the trade will do the same.
DD
its always easy to fall back on the tried and true "its just an opinion"
And he's stated his opinion about 100 times now, insisting on BS that is completely false and proven false by Mavs fans, and now he's put it to a poll to prove his opinion is right and he's been slapped down yet again.
It's just gotten pathetic.
If the Mavs win the whole thing, the last thing anyone is going to want to hear is your gay admission.
If the Celtics don't win - was the KG trade worth it? Same for the Lakers and Gasol? The Cavs/Bulls swap? It's about winning championships - if you don't win it, then your season is ultimately a failure. Trades or not.
How is an opinion false Mono?
Maybe it is the stellar 14-11 record since the trade, or the 2-11 record against +.500 teams.....
Oh, wait....you said you had proof....right.....uh...ok - prove it.
DD
Not even close to the same, the Celtics were a losing organization last year, they had to shake it up.
The Mavs were the number 1 team in the entire league last year, ran into one hot team in the playoffs, then were still close to number 1 in the WC this year and panicked into a Kidd trade.
The whole point is that you don't blow up a team that was in the finals 2 years ago, and was the best team in the league last year.
I agree it was a risk, I think it was FAR TOO GREAT a risk to take.....
DD
Your claim that Kidd "dominated" the ball and didn't let the offense run through Dirk & Howard was about as ridiculously wrong as anything I've ever read on this board. Every Mavs fan on the site told you what an idiot you were for saying that.
That's just one example.
Mavs were blown up? News to any of us.
You should focus on your own team that's about to the bed in the 1st round again this year.
The Mavs didn't blow up the team. I guess this can be example #2.
Actually, I am focused on them, but sadly I agree that without Yao I think realistically they will be one and done again.
They have a shot, but probably will not be favored to win in the first round....we need Yao.
But hey, at least the Mavs will be out with us, maybe Mark Cuban can drive the fishing boat !

jesus it seems like everyone is under the impression that diop and harris single handedly dragged the rest of the team to 67 wins...
Depends upon your definition of blowing up the team.......I think replacing the PG.....the guy who captains your ship to be the biggest change you can make.....again, haggling over opinions.
And Harris was a starter and Diop a part time starter that is a pretty significant change.
DD
so replacing your PG & backup C is blowing up a team?
By your definition the Hawks blew up their team this year.
