We tried to get Kidd in the offseason. Now we have Billups. Who is better at this point in their careers?

I say Billups because he is a much better shooter especially in the clutch. But it is close.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

That is a tough call. I think Billups is a bit younger and I know he has a bit more character. I always respected Kidd as a leader but I have been so impressed by Billups and his leadership, smarts and moxie. Kidd has had some blips on his resume and has been traded for a reason each time he has been moved. Billups was always beloved and never wore out his time once his game matured. I think you have to go with Billups. I feel like the Garden has a Messier type leader back.

Billups never beat his wife, that I know of.

good comparison. Without factoring in salary, Billups. But if saving that extra $5 million means a third max player my answer might change

Billups still has a good burst of speed to the rim and can make a shot off balance if he has to, like he did tonight. They are both very smart PGs but I think Billups can get around the court better than Kidd these days.

He didn't break up the three J's or force a trade either. Chauncey's character is unquestioned.

Kidd still VERY quick on feet, even at 37; faster than Billups IMHO but I don't watch Dallas games at all.

I think Kidd is and was always the better passer with better court vision (just see Assists/Stats). However, Billups is more of a scoring Point. Just the fear of him coming down the floor and pulling up for 3 allows him to penetrate and kick wich can be very beneficial in the 7OL offense.

And I don't believe he is as good a wife slapper :-)

Either way - I am loving the Billups / Felton swap. Makes this trade (along with tonights win) much more bearable. He was so under control tonight in crunch time which we have not had in quite a while.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

At this point in their careers Billups is hands down the better player. Billups is still very capable of running a team while Kidd is basically a spot-up shooter.
