He's just an average shooter. He isn't that terrible. He still shoots around 40% career wise. For three pointers he is almost identical to what Kobe shoots career wise also. He would be great for the Lakers. He can get a triple douple on you on any given night. Plus, would you rather see Kidd or Payton? Kidd matches up with Payton like this: Kidd will get you about a point more per game, 4 more assists per game, 2 more rebounds per game, 12% better foul shooting percentage, and last of all, better defense (considering how Payton was last year).
Kidd does choke in the big games. In the playoffs he does shoot about as good as you or I, lol. But the Lakers probably won't be in many big games this year so there's nothing to worry about there.

Kidd is an over-rated point guard.
you are to right podstock. sure he can dish it but he can't do much more than that . my personal favorite pg is andre miller. he plays great he ALWAYS thinks of passing the ball before shooting he is in my mind one of the best pg in the league right now

the difference b/t Kidd and Kobe is that Kobe makes the clutch shots when it counts.
Yes, Kobe has a HORRIBLE NBA Finals vs. Detroit.....
but the road to this year's finals, and the other 3 titles they won, Kobe was absolutely clutch.
I forget exactly how much money Kidd makes a year (I know he makes b/t $90-100M contract), but he's not worth half of that

Miller is a pretty good player - I never understood why he hasn't made more of an impact

I think there's proof of that with Lamar Odom. Look what happened once he left the Clippers. His career suddenly started to shine. The organization as a whole is jinxed, lol.

lots of people are praising Lamar
I didn't watch him too much (don't watch Clippers games).... so I'll have to wait for the NBA season to start to see if he's any good.
My guess is that he's an over-rated, but athletic, NBA player .... something that you can say about 80% of most players.

He is a bit over-rated, but he will help out the Lakers.
BTW, the Lakers resigned Slava. Looks like they have another big man, lol.
