Food for thought ....

So listen up, Mavs fans.
If and when the Mavs complete the trade for Jason Kidd, ask yourselves this: is it worth gutting the team and sacrificing the future just to have the seventh-best point guard -- not overall player -- in the league?
Here are the point guards we think are better than Kidd, and most reside in the West:

1. Chris Paul, Hornets
2. Deron Williams, Jazz
3. Steve Nash, Suns
4. Baron Davis, Warriors
5. Chauncey Billups, Pistons
6. Tony Parker, Spurs
7. Jason Kidd, Nets ... err ... Mavs ... err ...

So in five potential West postseason matchups, the Mavs still won't have an advantage at the point guard position.

What do you think, Mavs fans?

You are insane if you think Chauncey Billups is a better point guard (even at this stage in their careers) than Jason Kidd.

i think that the mavs should indeed look about other point guards the kidd. because what does kidd have to offer that any other point guard does not. i think they should think about Chris Paul or Barron Davis

[Brandon Smith]

not a smart idea. i think they should consider Chris Paul or Barron Davis

[Captain Midnight]

Oh yeah, cause the Hornets are definitely looking to shed Chris Paul. Geez. Let's have a look at LeBron and Dwight Howard while we're at it.

This is a horrible, horrible trade. We are giving up youth that have HUGE upsides and are currently producing (harris and diop). This leaves our team decimated with a slow old point guard who can't shoot free throws, jumpers, or play D. We will have no back up center- since Bass was acquired to play against the swing positions and is not a true center. We will have no backup point guard since Barea is a miserable player, slower and worse on D then J-Kidd. Cuban is going to alienate a huge portion of Mavs fans by doing this. Why should we have to struggle to pry away a player (Kidd) that WANTS to leave? We should give them peanuts just like the Lakers got Gasol for bellybutton lint. I have been a Mavs fan dating back to the three J's, and I may never watch again.
