Change has to come from Cuban

[hakeemfaan]

It has been reported that key roster decisions (like Dragic) were directly KIDD'S decisions. It is not speculation to say that Kidd has a lot of say and power over roster decisions. 

Is it ALL Kidd? Probably not.....the Wood trade for instance seems to NOT have been Kidd's call. 

But my biggest complaint about Kidd hasn't been roster decisions (though I do NOT like that), it has been his rotations and minute distributions. Could Wood be some terrible, uncoachable person behind the scenes? I guess its possible, but the way his TEAMMATES speak glowingly of him I do not think that is the issue at all. And we know JG is a good and ready soldier, yet he gets buried on the bench while other guys get lots of burn while contributing virtually nothing.

Kamm.  If Kidd has had a say in key personnel decisions it is Cubans fault for not hiring an experienced GM who can tell a coach to stay in his lane. Do we even know what sort of authority Nico has over Kidd?  Both were hired at the same time. Where do you think the clear blame lies here with?  It is not just that the buck eventually stops with Cuban. It is completely his fault if this is happening since the same thing happened with the previous regime and Cuban not clearly explaining roles and boundaries. So if he immediately turns around and lets it happen with the next regime, I put 0 % of that on Kidd. 

On Wood, as I said why do you think Kidd won’t play him?  At least with RC you knew he sometimes could be hardheaded when it came to certain players. Kidd is playing even Josh Green. Wood, no matter what you say his teammates say, has never stuck long in any place and go check his profile on how many stops he has had. Kidd knows Luka won’t listen to him. At least he can try some things with the other players. What leverage does a coach have other than minutes?  

Again my thing in all this not to say Kidd is a great coach  There are many other core issues that I see with this team that needs to be addressed before we get to the coach. First and foremost is the owner.
