How About Jason Kidd?

After coming up with a few options of his own regarding the new Bulls point guard, Mat ran across another idea that he really likes.

Bryan Crawford of NBC Chicago recently penned the possibility of Jason Kidd joining the Bulls roster this offseason.

Mat believes the addition of a veteran point guard is not only smart for coverage purposes, but also for the mentoring role Kidd could bring to Rose and his teammates alike.

Mat, whilst discussing with his other mouse friends the future of the Bulls backup point guard position, came to the conclusion that where Kidd's influence would really shine is actually after the return of Rose from his knee injury. The thought of Kidd coming off the bench for Rose and changing the pace of the game would provide the Bulls a much needed new dimension to their overall basketball repertoire.

Mat also salivates at the thought of Coach Thibs drawing up late game sets in which both Kidd and Rose are on the floor together. Adding something like that late in the game would be a game-changer.

The next question that arises is one to do with the Bulls dwindling availability with salary cap space. Could they even pull off a Kidd signing? Mat's answer to that is simple; yes. Kidd has openly stated he is willing to fill in for Rose during the injury time, and as Mat mentioned when talking about Dragic, if Kidd wants another ring there is no better place to look than Chicago.

Mat expects the Bulls to make a valiant effort for the services of Kidd. Overall, his control of a basketball game will play off of the high tempo and electrifying abilities of Rose. Mat knows for certain this type of move will cause plenty of regular season match up constraints for opponents of the Red and Black, and those should continue well into the 2013 postseason.
