Sahayog bro, I think Kidd is exactly what the Mavs need...As far as I've seen in his time at the Nets, he's been a one man team all along: consistent and anytime he over-performs, the Nets win (this was until about 2 years ago...Getting Carter was unnecessary IMO).  Also, Kidd would be exactly what Nowitzski needs: And unselfish point-guard who is all out in making his team-mates better...I'd say that the Nets lost out on this one and look out for the Mavs to be better once the Kidd has settled himself there...A few weeks after the All Star break.  Also, a few point out that Kidd is lil too old, but c'mon he has 2 Final's experience and this seasoned vet is exactly what the Mavs need to finaly go all the way...BTW, the Mav's loss in the first round of the playoffs was perhaps the greatest disappointment in all of recent sports memory (after the Pats lost to the Giants 2 weeks ago).
