The New York Knicks have decided that the key to their success next year will be a more effective point guard to run the offense. Enter Jason Kidd. I am not opposed to bringing in Jason Kidd at all. However, I am if it means that the Knicks will not match the offer sheet signed by Jeremy Lin, which apparently Kidd's signing means.
Let's run down the most important numbers here: 39 vs 23. Kidd is 39 years old, and a veteran of 18 seasons. He has more mileage then a 1994 Honda Civic. Lin, is young and exciting. Now, I don't think he is worth $10 million a year, but it is necessary to overpay for him. Jason Kidd will get eaten up by any point guard who can penetrate, and the Knicks do not play enough defense to cover for this lose. Furthermore, let's not forget how Lin energized the city, and single handedly saved the Knicks season.
This move just makes no sense. I am planning on writing a longer article about why Sarah and I may switch our allegiances to the Nets, but with such boneheaded moves still made by the Knicks, I probably saved myself about 5000 words.
The verdict: A terrible move, but an excellent pun.
