Okay, but that could be worked out but you have to agree that Kidd would be better on this team than Allen is. Kidd>Allen. Plus a year shorter contract at max money.
Over their careers, Kidd is certainly better then Allen. But right now, for our team, I'm not sure.
Firstly, House is never starting because he has a serious flaw that prevents him from being a starter...6 foot sg. So who would be the other starter? If there's a deal where we somehow get to keep TA, then the starting backcourt would be Kidd-TA. Even though TA has been shooting pretty well lately, he's still going to be inconsistent and that's an awful shooting backcourt that will get no respect from other defenses. Consequently, defenses will cave on us and dare Kidd/TA to shoot.
Even though Ray hasn't shot that great this year, he still commands respect from defenses and has made a lot of big shots for us. We need that in the starting unit to give Pierce/KG room to work in the paint.
And there's a matter of chemistry which Ainge is afraid of ruining by signing a backup pg. How would chemistry be affected if one of the big 3 is gone?
