Not sure where Cuban's obsession with Kidd comes from. 3 years @ 25mill? Wow 9 points/8.7 assists/6.7 boards/2 steals all sounds good but Kidd's already 36 and he's gonna be damn near 40 years old by the time that contract ends. It's not like the Mavs are going anywhere.
Cuban probably thinks if he left then the Kidd trade would be a COMPLETE bust rather then the joke it is now...
Cuban is just trying to justify the trade he made when he gave up devin harris trying to show the whole world that he thinks he won the trade what a idiot
Mavs are going to be an expensive team for Cuban to keep up with, without actually getting any better.
Kidd's had his best 2 career shooting years with Dallas surprisingly. Though at the same time he's become a really reluctant shooter. You could say he should shoot more, though I think he doesn't cuz it'll wear him down (doesnt got to the line much anymore) and it'll take away from the rest his floor game. He can still rebound and pass and get steals with any other point guard in the league. 8 mil a year doesnt look as bad on 2nd glance, considering he made 20 mil last season
Mavs would still be a competitive team. Will/Can Kidd lead this team? Can He still produce nightly and prove that He deserves that amount or was Cuban suckered into signing Kidd at that rate to avoid Kidd from leaving?
No, Cuban had the opportunity to bid higher on the phone but he admitted in an interview that he felt Nash wasn't worth that kind of salary back then.
Good sign for the Mavs imo. They need to make something happen on the trade front though, AND QUICKLY....
Does Cuban honestly think his team has a chance next season? All I see is another first round knock out and Dirk aging another year.
