Do the mavericks have a better chance of winning this year with Kidd?

Just talking about the CURRENT NBA season, do the mavericks have a better chance to win it with Kidd, or did they have a better chance to win it with Diop, Harris, and Ager?

They have a better shot now because they'll need someone to lead the team if Dirk pulls a Dirk

Yes because they have a pure point guard that is not focused on scoring, he is focused on passing, getting assists and oddly enough he averages 8 boards a game, which will help because their isint really a rebounder on the team so he will help a lot.
What up Chris M,

Well i think adding Kidd definitely makes the Mavericks a better team, but the playoffs are all about matchups. The Mavs are still soft in the middle and losing Diop will really hurt them against teams like: Spurs, Lakers, Suns and Jazz and so i think the Mavericks are still only the 5th best team in a tough, tough Western conference. Especially because the Spurs had trouble with Devin Harris. i think the revised trade definitely help them because they don't lose Stackohouse for a month as originally planned and that may help their seeding, i think it's all going to come down to matchups i mean the Lakers or Suns could end up playing San Antonio in the first round... it should be a great playoff in the West this year.

I don't think so. I hate this trade. I don't think Kidd will make much of a difference and they got rid of a lot of young talent. I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something, I encourage someone to explain to me why this is a good trade, but I find it as mind boggling as the Shaq trade.
no. dallas gave up too much and it left them incredibly thin at C. the only guy they have down low is dampier. dirk is too soft to play inside and bass is too small and they waived fazekas. that was a dumb move for dallas. losing a young promising PG for an old aging PG who cant score or shoot anymore. plus harris is the better defender. and they lose 2 1st rounders.

the west got BIGGER, with gasol and shaq...but dallas got SMALLER with kidd and losing diop. i dont get that.

in the playoffs dampier might have to go against any of the following guys: shaq, amare, gasol, bynum, duncan, yao, boozer, okur, camby, chandler, west, etc....good luck with that mavs fans.
Much better chance with Kidd for THIS season, but they basically traded away their future PG in Harris. It's basically all or nothing for the Mavs THIS year.
no kidd is washed up and tired
they do not have a better chance with kid. they need two big men on their team, not just dirk. so no they dont. the spurs or suns do
They do have a better chance at getting past the 1st and 2nd Round, but I don't know if they'll get by the Lakers or Spurs though.

Dallas gave up their young up and coming PG for an aging Kidd. Sure it will help them in the short term and to win now. But in the long term, it will only hurt them.

They also lose alot of depth on the bench as well, who's going to defend Duncan in the low post now that Diop is gone? Dampier? Dirk?
They have a better shot offensively, but who is gonna cover all the good big men in the West? Kidd probably gives them a better shot, but they won't win all. They can't compete with other West big men.
No I don't think so because they gave there future to the Nets.
Hey they couldn't win the chip for the past two years with that line up so it means there's something wrong there right? So Kidd might actually be the missing piece.

Actually, they should've won 2 years ago vs. Miami. The NBA practically handed the chip to Wade. They wanted to hype Wade up because of popularity. Wade couldn't get 20+ Free throws in any other game except during the Finals when refs blew everything Miami's way.
Mavs are def. better, but still not as good as the Suns, Jazz, Spurs, and Lakers. I think the Hornets and Warriors could give them a run for the money and probably Rockets. If they had a semi decent Center i would say they r def dangerous, but you won't win a series; moreover, a title with Eric Dampier as ur sole big man.
their chances r better but not gonna win it
