Do you think if the lakers get jason kidd, it will make them better?

dont forget they will have to give up 2 first round picks, and maybe chris mihm, jordan farmar, or kwame brown. so do you think it would be a good trade?

thats a no brainer. kidd's almost averaging a triple double this year and no doubt in my mind he would make the lakers better for a few years to come. not only would he supply good vision to an alerady decent playmaking kobe, but he could stretch the defense now that there's another liability for a 3 point shooter (jkidd's been working on his 3s)

the big question is how will it affect the nets. the nets might have to give up vince carter as well, but then does that bring more draft picks to the nets? paul pierce said it himself: "drafts picks build a team. experience and determination build a championship."

the lakers don't have much to offer for jkidd and the nets won't be getting durant/oden with anything, so they might as well stay put and continue to build around the big 3.

if the lakers dump farmar and smush parker, then the lakers have no future point guard. i think if the lakers get another star like jkidd (or a pf/c better and more consistent than odom) around kobe to bring the lakers back to the 00 - 02 campaign when shaq daddy and prince kobe ruled the royal court.

The nets would be willing to make that trade because farmar is going to be a stud in this league.... and it would make the lakers, a lot better, someone other than kobe to hit perimeter shots, and to penitrate down low, and kick it out..... this is going to be very good for the lakers if they can make this deal

plus why not give up chris mihm, or kwame brown...... not a big loss at all....
yes, lakers get the better deal and kidd is a pass first guy and can pass to Kobe who will probably like Kidd as his teammates. they also have lamar odom. Thats better then Iverson and Carmelo as teammates. it will make them better. LAkers gets the better deal.
If they can avoid Kwame hell yeah

kidd can last 2 more years doing what he's doing and mihm, mckie, farmar are all bums

the lakers draft picks are usually at the bottom in the mid to low 20's and they've never been that great

Smush has been doing a great job when you consider he's getting a bargain bin salary and comes from the bush leagues. This allows him to come off the bench in a role he can be good at

Kidd can lock down and win the point guard match up for the lakers which is the lakers weak point

kidd also helps with rebounds and will play his role

Short term trade and with no dominate teams in the NBA this could put the lakers over the top and lead to another title
In the short term yes, in the long term no, they will need those players and picks. Kidd is just about done too. I don't think his body can take too much more.
In the short term, this might help the Lakers out quite a bit. Statistically, it would seem getting Kidd would be a great help, but working him into the offensive might be a little more trouble.

However, long term, this would not be good. Giving up young talent like Farmar is not something the Lakers would likely do. He's been far too promising this year to ship off.

Although it might make sense to acquire Kidd, as Kobe starts to climb over the hill, I doubt the Lakers will seek a trade solely because of Kidd's aging body.
I think it would make them a lot better. They dont need Kwame no more. Bynum will be alot better. Also, not only will it make the lakers better, it'll also make Kobe and Kidd better individual players as well.
trading for j-kidd means that the lakers are getting impatient to become champs again. it will definitely make them better in terms of how far could they go in the playoffs but it will pose problems in the long run by sacrificing 1st round picks. I like farmar, he is a sound point guard and he could learn a lot from kidd. id rather trade smush parker. kwame is absolutely the deal maker since the nets are need of a scoring big man. kwame is not quite there yet but is a project worth investing for the nets.

kidd might be old and a couple of years away from retirement, but he will assume playmaking responsibility away from kobe. yes, kobe is actually the 'point guard' for the lakers. imagine a fastbreak with kidd in the middle and kobe and lamar on the wings.
