i think if it be anyone its josh howard

I believe it would be Jason Terry, he will have alot more open looks with kidd's penetration and give him less minutes playing the point when he is a small 2 guard

The entire Denver roster.

???

Don't mind him, he's missing Devin Harris his favorite player since he got traded. He's having issues to say the least.

I'm pretty sure the "???" was because he has no clue who is supposed to be better from the choices on the Mav's roster.

Oops, my bad. <slowly skulking away...>

I hope he didn't hear Donnie Nelson on the Ticket yesterday talking about how much vastly better Kidd is versus Devin. That may have been hard for him to reconcile.

Yup, likre I said before yesterday, my faith in our front office is all GONE!

Brandon Bass anyone?

Also, Jason Terry should be a little better, and Josh Howard looks promising as well. I don't see who he DOESN'T make better other than Dampier unless he has hand replacements.

If you go by last night's game, it is the exact opposite of what you said. Damp looked better, Bass, Howard looked worse and Terry looked better when running the point, but just as bad beside Kidd.

I know this may sound a little strange, but I think Kidd will make Dirk better. Dirk will have easier shots and also have more fun playing bball again. It hasn't been fun for Dirk these past years without Nash to dish the ball.

I like how you have 3.5 years of patience with Harris, and you give Kidd one game after one practice.

Are you related to Harris?

Kidd will make everyone better except for Kidd himself.

I was just noting the players he made better yesterday. I wasn't evaluating him after one game. I wasn't going to have a firm opinion on this new team till we play at least 3 playoff caliber teams. This is just the 1st.

Are you trying to stir a response with the with the related to Harris talk comment?

All the players' wives. He'll use his strong pimp hand to slap some respect into them.

He'll make everyone better IF we start to push the ball and quit running iso's every possession.

I would say J-Ho once he gets healthy, they were saying last night that Josh was having pain whenever he would go up for shots. JET should probably get more looks from now on too.

They seemed to be pushing the ball more against the Hornets to start out the game, but all the turnovers made them take a step back and realize they weren't that ready to play with each other.

Personally I think Josh Howard, Dampier, Bass, Dirk, and Terry have the most to gain from Kidd. Terry will see more floor time with the starters, and personally I think he should be starting now. This Kidd/George crap is not gonna work, and it's pointless. You got Kidd to get your shooters the ball, George is not a shooter, and Kidd should be playing defense against the players George would be up against. Kidd should be going up against 2 guards, not Chris Paul/Parker/etc. Sadly that's Terry's job now.

Dirk really looked re-energized against New Orleans though. I don't think I've ever see him throw it down like he did twice in that game. So the #1 of it all will be Dirk, I think he was tired of the team and ready for a change. He seemed the least friendly with Harris (not that he wasn't, but Howard and Terry seem to be his buds, Harris seemed to be his teammate)

Good post, hph6203. Good post!
