Kidd has improved as a three point shooter over the last two years. This year was his first time over 40%. The year before was his first time over 38% Fisher has shot over 38% eight times and been over 40% a few times. When it comes to needing a clutch shot, I'd take Fisher over Kidd everytime. He's done it at the highest pressure levels. Kidd hasn't. If I needed a point guard to run a team, I'm taking Kidd all day over Fisher. On the majority of teams in the league, I'm taking Kidd. On this team, give me Fisher. There's something to be said for comfort and familiarity. Bryant and Fisher know each other. They know exactly what to expect from each other. Bringing Kidd in would disrupt the rhythm of this team. Much like bringing in Gary Payton did. I also think Kidd is much worse on the defensive end. I felt so bad for him two seasons ago watching Chris Paul eat him alive in the playoffs. I just don't see the point in bringing in a guy who's going to need the ball as much as he would to be successful. By the way, last year, Kidd was at .406 and Fisher was at .397 Kidd made 11 more than Fisher on the year.

My point wasnt that Kidd shoots it so much better than fisher. I was just trying to refute your point that Kidd can't shoot and fisher was the better shooter at this point. That is not the case.

How could you say kidd is much worse on the defensive end than fisher? How can you say that ANYONE is much worse on the defensive end than fisher at this point? At least kidd is big and physical enough to guard a two at times if necessary.

I dont disagree that kidd in his prime would have changed the outlook of this team and quite possibly for th worse. They are just coming off of a championship so it certainly doesnt get much better. However, this isnt that kidd and i think he knows it. Getting a vet like kidd to give you minutes on the cheap can be a really good thing as long as he knows his role. I think that is where the big difference will be between him and payton.

Fisher > Kidd

Kidd is purely stats with no championships.

which gets fairly ridiculous very quickly.
I think Horry actually has one more championship
than Jordan .
