This is not a defense of Nico in any way. He's made some a few good trades that may or may not be his decisions, but the everything since the PJ/Gaff trade has been a load of crap. I don't know that Kidd would be any better, but I trust his BBIQ a lot better for evaluating talent.
Trading for Gaff and PJ and signing Exum (when he can stay healthy) were the best moves Nico made, then he threw it all away trading Luka.
