Wow the J-Kidd trade by Dallas was HORRIBLE (note that this has a chance of actually being true). Kidd looked like the middle aged wife-beater that he is last night as Chris Paul ran rings abound him and the Hornets beat the Mavs.
Here are the details.
Kidd: 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists to 6 turnovers and 3 steals. His team was -14 points with him on the floor.
Paul: 31 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists to 1 turnover and 9 steals. His team was +20 points with him on the floor.
Note that CP3 played 4 more minutes than did Kidd.
Meanwhile, it has become imperative that the league step in and take over the operations of the New York Knickerbockers (note that this actually might be a good idea). Last night, the team simply didn't show up for their game in Philadelphia. the 76ers scored 100 points in three quarters, the Knicks trailed by 45 at one point in the third quarter, they committed 23 turnovers (to 12 for the 76ers) and were outrebounded 43-31. Philly shot 57% from the floor agains the Knick "defense". It's probably good to remember that the 76ers stink and shouldn't be able to beat anyone this badly.

That trade was indeed awful.
The Lakers and Suns made transactions that obviously sacred the bejesus out of the Mavs. A “Do something! Anything!” mentality appears to have kicked in. The Mavs needed a Big Man - they went out and got an Old Point Guard.
The Cavs or Knicks would have made for a better trading partner.
Does that mean my German friend Dirk doesn't get his ring again? Awful!
They needed a big man, not a short Kidd.
Ben Wallace would've been good, now he is at the Cavs
