J Kidd:

I don't know about you, but I don't see how picking up Jason Kidd makes Dallas stiffer competition in the playoffs. People who agree with the trade say the trade gives Dallas leadership in the locker room and on the floor, and most of all heart when times get tough the the playoffs. In return, Dallas is giving up more scoring, better FG percentage and defense in exchange for Kidd. I just don't know how this converts into a championship for the Mavericks. They still don't have anyone who can really match up with the West Big men (O'neal, Gasol, Bynum, Stoudimire, Duncan).
