No Regrets in Dallas…They Say

[marla07860]

No matter what people think about Kidd that guy was amazing for the 95% of the time wearing a Nets jersey.

http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/nets/archives/2008/12/excaptain_kidd.html

couldn't agree with you more he was great and I still love him and hope we do one day hang his Jersey, but I hate player who complain and ask to be traded so I have a little hate for him, not a lot but a little. I mean how much does he make, I say if players ask to be traded and make it public they shouldn't make money anymore

As big a Kidd fan as I am, I have think Dallas misses Harris. With Harris this team is top 5, possibly even challenging the Lakers. Would Avery be gone? That's my biggest concern if Harris had stayed. With the way Terry is playing and combine that with Dirk, taking the leash off Devin, that's 4 prime time scorers. Right now the Mavs are starting Kidd-JHo-George, Dirk and Damp. 3 players with NO offensive game. Thus the slow starts in the last 2 games. 1st quarter they've been outscored 60-36. You throw Harris in there, that's a 3rd scorer and creates more balance. Then JET off the bench as the 6th man, defenses would go bonkers trying to stop the Mavs, with Harris, Jet, JHo and Dirk. The Mavs would be a 60 win team with Harris unshackled. They were headed there early last season until his ankle injury. They miss him and better regret doing the deal.

they panic what do you except. They have mark cuban as a owner so you know they are a stupid team. I'm a Kidd fan too, but I can't stand the mavs all the fans complain or most of them anyway. I hope they lose this year and Kidd wants to win and goes somewhere else so I can root for him

...haha well rules out the Lakers, maybe Portland?? Can't see him playing for GSW. I doubt he'll go east again, then again a one year deal with the Knicks running D'Antoni's system...pre Lebron?

Kidd on the Knicks would be better then mavs, I could see him doing well in D'Antoni's system

ummmmm if the playoffs from last year show anything the Mavs are done. Also The Lakers Hornets Spurs Nuggets are better. It's funny Kidd has to deal with Chauncey in the west now

i really don't count last year because Kidd had what a month and a half to blend with his team , and a controlling coach who btw is no longer coaching in this league. Plus: Dirk has said many times this year he is having much more fun playing with Jason Kidd. Remember Kidd makes everybody he plays with better and have career years, when he's happy. Last year he wasn't happy with the nets...

yeah, but with the nba it's not like you can't count the games last year Lakers got Gasol and went on, suns got shaq and went on I don't hear much from those fans saying not to count last year, so same should go for mavs, got to count last year

 

[nets1]

big difference from a center to a court general. And you can not count it, who says you can't. If you trade someone who plays an important part at pt guard chemistry must be established. And, to compound matters worse he had a retard as a coach. I mean ive watched Avery Johnson play point guard, and i've seen Jason Kidd play point guard. Which one do you think is going to the hall of fame?

This year counts in my book, not the year that was a month or so to blend in with the new team. Thats not fair! I mean just look at the difference between Devin Harris when he first got to the nets, and Devin Harris this year. Having a full off season and preseason help more than alot. To discount that is crazy....

oh yeah, go nets!!!

it's just a difference in opinion you can not count it if you want, but I count it. Because all games count in the nba you can't minus games. you don't have to count last season because it is over and they just sucked at the end of it, that's what I think. I mean it's really kind of stupid to count it or not count it since it is over and done with, this year as of right now they are good but deff not a great team

and yes GO NETS BEAT THE MAVERICKS!

Why do you think Dirk and Terry are playing so well this season?

It might have something to do with their floor general.

is that enough to win a championship?? If not it's time to go back to the drawing board.

I think that is a major reason Mark Cuban hasn't extended Kidds contract just yet. He's waiting to see if the team will improve this year. So far it appears that they are going in the right direction. The playoffs will be the major test. If the Mavs go way deep in the playoffs and maybe make the finals i can see cuban extending kidds contract for 2 or 3 years. If not he will probably blow things up and start over again... Like the nets did.

So even Cuban doesn't think a month and a half is a true test for Kidd...

cuban blow things up, that's when pigs will fly I mean look at the kind of dude he is

 

[nets1]

well like the nets he's had his run, although he's kept the core longer than the nets. We shall see if his run is long in the tooth. I think he can get a year or two out of the core group. But if he's one and done in the playoffs like last year he will definately blow it up.

I don't think they can get past the first round with the team they have yeah they have some great players but other teams are much better then them. What do to have to trade if they are going to blow it up or do anything? Kidd can walk at the end of the season so I don't think they can get him so basically they only have Dirk they could trade, I don't see many good guys on thr team that aren't in the starting line up

 

[nets1]

Well he could trade Dirk and get a few draft picks back and a package of players from a team. He could do a salary dump and do rebuilding like the nets. But he's kinda compulsive so he could also really destroy his team as well. He really put all his eggs in a basket with the Kidd trade. But the players are assets and other GM's will value some of them.

Either way Kidd will be playing in this league a few more years either with the mavs or with another team, maybe at a reduced salary. It all depends on how the mavs and kidd do this year.

He has Dirk, Howard, and Terry, and maybe a sign and trade with Kidd. Who knows.

 

[insider]

I guess there will always be someone to sour grape. To those who aren't, good for you. Fact is, Jason Kidd will be remembered in history as the saviour of Jersey. Yes, the "wife beater", prima dona or whatever else some people could think of. Whatever foundation the Nets have right now is because of the guy who used to wear number 5 for the Nets. A lot of people here are eager to see Harris torch Kidd on the floor. A lot of people here also say that Kidd is old and washed up?! So what does it say if Harris does score 40 on Kidd? That he's better than Kidd?! Keep dreaming. Or maybe it says that a 25 year old can beat out a 35 year old man who has been in the league for 14 seasons? Not exactly vindicating. As good as Devin Harris is, he is not Jason Kidd. There's Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, John Stockton and then there's Jason Kidd.

hopefully not with the mavs, I can like him a whole lot more. I hate the mavs the most

Yea, he'll allow Jet and Dirk to play the pick and roll game while he'll just slide up and down the wing on the weakside. That pairing has been unstoppable on the 2 man game. The biggest thing has been Jet's ability to bring it EVERY night. Dirk questioned Jet's consistency during training camp and that has been the focus of Jet this season. Jet only brought it in big games in the past, now he's focused on doing it every night.
