For some reason it won't let me quote your text. Now that I'm thinking about it more, Kidd had no good option. KP is too injury prone to play the whole 4th and Maxi is out. I fear Boban, while possibly slowing Ayton, would have caused even more holes in the perimeter defense. Moses could be a solution, but we don't know what he can do yet. WCS and Powell... no explanation needed.

For your other point... the first thing is by "be great" I am referring to getting out of the first round and being competitive in the second. If you look at our roster, we have the tools to accomplish this.

1. Luka - All time great player already.
2. KP - I'm hopeful after this stretch of games that Luka and KP will continue to grow their chemistry, work out the kinks, and produce highly efficient offense.
3. JB - Much improved secondary creator.
4. THJ - Needed scorer.
5. Maxi - Most underrated defensive player in the league for years now.
6. Dragic - Not on the team yet, but will be huge by allowing us to usually have 2 creators on the court. Should be fresh by the time he gets here.
7. Frank - Great defender. Can dribble, shoot, pass. Amazing pickup.
8. DFS - Back to looking solid after his terrible start to the year.
9. Bullock - Still hopeful he can remember how to shoot and settle into a solid role.
10-12. Moses/Boban/Dwight - Some combination of these 3 will have to get some minutes. We need to see Moses in action quickly to see if we have anything. Dwight should be fine to change things up in LIMITED minutes. Boban can be a problem situationally.

This is your bread and butter and I think they can win a playoff series for sure.

13. Trey Burke - Nice 13th man who can actually come in and help if some of our other guards go down.
14. Sterling Brown - Only on the team for agency BS reasons it seems. Fortunately, we don't need him because of Frank's emergence. Still hoping he shows something.
15. Josh Green - I'm already convinced he sucks and don't see a reason he should get minutes over anyone besides Sterling Brown.
16. WCS - Get him out of here.

As far as Kidd's coaching goes... I'm still giving him some more time to implement his system (if he has one) , get everything running smoothly, and of course getting Dwight out of the stating lineup.
