You are really weak at PG and I think this is a decent solution to the problem. You aren't going to want to go the entire season with TJ Ford, who is a major injury risk, and Earl Watson who is in a timeshare and is likely to lose his job to Westbrook as your PGs. Although I'd rather have Anthony, I think going from Anthony to Kidd is not a huge downgrade and you're getting Duhon, who is having a nice preseason and will offer you more depth at PG.

kidd is good and all, but the amount you have to make up for in scoring is always overlooked. people always think that scoring is just gonna come, but if you make this trade, scoring is going to be unbelievably hard for you to win weekly (consider that other people's first picks completely dominate that aspect: kobe, bron, wade, amare, nowitzki, etc.)...

however, since its a h2h league, i would make the trade and just punt the scoring category since kidd gives you a really good chance to win the others.
