I'm all for trading Francis for Kidd, however, Steve is head and shoulders above Kidd in terms of offense. He is lightyears ahead. He can do pretty much everythihng better in terms of scoring. I think this team has enough firepower to make up the disparity between Kidd and Francis. Mobley and Taylor can score more, and Yao will definitely score more. Pike and JJ's numbers will go up because they won't have to create their own shot as often as they currently do. I would trade Francis for Kidd right now, althoug hI wouldn't have done it last season. Only negatives are Kidd's age and scoring ability. However, he's decent from 3-pt range, and I don't think he's ever played with a true post presence.
