I don't think this has been mentioned, but I believe when we talk about what the Mavs might consider, we have to figure out what Kidd's "preferred team" would look like. What's he trying to build?
My answer - look at the 2010-11 Mavs, and see how he is mirroring that. And how they built that.
OFFENSIVE ENGINE - 2 primary scorers to complement each other (Dirk, JET)
STRONG INTERIOR - 2 starting-caliber bigs (TC, Haywood)
LOCKDOWN DEFENDERS WHO CAN SCORE A BIT - (Kidd, Marion, DSteve)
SOME ADDED OFFENSE - an energy creator of offense (JJB), and a knockdown shooter (Peja)
The current version
OFFENSIVE ENGINE - 2 primary scorers to complement each other (Luka, Ky)
STRONG INTERIOR - 2 starting-caliber bigs (Gafford, Lively)
LOCKDOWN DEFENDERS WHO CAN SCORE A BIT - (PJW, DJJ, Green, Maxi)
SOME ADDED OFFENSE - an energy creator of offense (Hardy)
