Kidd is still good at getting guys good shots. That's a skill he'll never lose. But the Lakers run an offense that it's not necessary to have a true point guard. They've never had one. None of the Bulls championship teams had one either. Even when they had BJ Armstrong, the offense still went mostly through Pippen and Jordan. Having a guy that needs to dominate the ball at the position takes away from the strengths of that offense. I'm not saying that Kidd isn't still a better player than Fisher. But just because he's a better player doesn't mean he's a better fit for this team. With the Lakers, Bryant and Odom handle the ball more than the point guards do anyway and do more initiating of the offense. Having Kidd doing that will take away from the mismatches that Bryant and Odom create. And again, Kidd on the defensive end against these small, quick guards, makes Fisher look like Kidd used to. I'd love Kidd in a place like Orlando or Golden State. Not so much in LA though.
