Legendary mercenary.

Is he? He's won in one place, the team that won a championship before and after his tenure. His legacy will be debated for a long while when he hangs them up. He's essentially a Carmelo Anthony type scorer who can lock in on D but doesn't often and ultimately cares more how he's viewed than his team does.
My point has nothing to do with winning. Mercenaries don't always win. They're just paid to play with no allegiance.

Jason Kidd isn't a good hire by anybody. He is a creep.
Because he doesn't have enough money.

Maybe the NBA should go to playground rules. Let the players make the calls. It might be more fair.
Uh, no. In playground rules, you call your own fouls. FTA would say he was fouled every single time. The games would all be four hours long due to all the extra free throws.

Actually, for the most part, I've found playground rules to be fair. The players usually call it straight. It's an honor system.
In the NBA, players try to sell calls to a referee to gain an advantage. There is a different dynamic going on.
It's like a game within a game, and it's like whoever fools the referees the most, wins.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said artificial intelligence will soon make “objective” calls for referees during games.
