Fair enough. I think it can work, and IMO the evidence is making a WCF, and a Finals, when in both runs IMO we've had a clear deficit in overall depth of talent compared to every team we've faced, in some encounters overwhelming deficit. 

Agreed, but that part hasn't changed, really, AND, in both cases, the more talented team was also more team-ball oriented. GS more so than BOS, but both teams could move the ball, create unpredictable offensive wrinkles and do a variety of other things we haven't seen a Kidd team do to this point (though this isn't meant as a Kidd bash - he has exceeded my expectations, low as they were). 

The point is, while I agree with what you're saying, I believe the cause and effect might not be as overt as it seems like you believe. I think there's having better players and I think there's using the players you have. If you do the latter well enough, it can be mistaken for the former, and vice versa. No team has ever won in the way the Mavs are trying to win, and there's a long history of players like Luka having to realize that and make teammate-trusting changes to their approach. Harden didn't, and his legacy will be far less significant than it should've been. Maybe Luka is the exception, but for me, a better bet would be to at least try to meet in the middle with some sort of team-oriented approach that allows everyone to touch the ball and get into rhythm consistently. Until I see this heliocentric approach get to the top of the mountain, I'm going to be skeptical.
