TAKE DAT WIT YOU 8/20

[KillerLeft]

Don't we have to look at it from the perspective of "which one is the better head coach for THIS team and for LUKA?"

The fit is literally EVERYTHING IMO. Without fit, all the coaching ability in the world becomes moot.

Maybe, but my point is that we have absolutely no information on that topic until the season starts. So, until then, it's all on paper, just like Bullock coming in and Richardson going out. This is a sport played in real life, not on paper. But, in a vacuum, I take Carlisle over Jason Kidd and his under .500 record (with two teams just as talented as the Mavs are) 10/10 times. 

Until we know this is a positive, it sure seems like logic would have us view it as a negative. Again, we're talking about a guy who has failed, not succeeded, as a head coach so far. I see no prior relationship between Kidd and Luka here - nothing that would lead me to believe this was his pick, and so nothing that convinces me he's super thrilled about it. Maybe he will be, maybe he won't. 

As I've said numerous times, I'm ok with the logic that has some happy about Carlisle leaving - I really am. It just would've been nice if the new guy had a history of actually being a good coach. Kidd absolutely does not. They're basically playing the lottery here. It's not what I would've done, for sure. Might pay off, but if it doesn't...man, it could be a disaster.
