Kidd has strong Avery Johnson vibes. I just hope Luka sticks with the Mavs through this era until a real coach holds the clipboard, like Dirk did.  I like Carlisle. There’s no need to say sorry t...

I don’t think any significant amount of people actually thought Kidd was a better coach than Carlisle lol. I doubt the Mavs even believe it.
