But it feels to me like the issue is really about what AD wants ... and what he's best suited to do on the court. For example, taking the ball up the court is not something he should be doing anymore in my opinion. Let Flagg do that now. I've also noticed he frequently looks to shoot behind the arc, which I think is a poor decision given his percentage. Leave that to others. I think where he positions himself on the court is less important since we have good rebounders all over. 

Maybe this is all manageable. I just want the guy to play to his strengths, and I'm not sure I saw that in the games I saw him play. In any event Kidd really has his hands full here, and I just hope it doesn't take more than a half-season to figure it out.

IMO you are observing possible issues of coaching - player management - same as every player and roster, every year.

AD will be treated with major deference, as all stars have earned. But on a good team w a good coach, he will have limits, because team comes first. And he is good enough to know that. Both he AND team want him to play great in bringing wins, and should work to make it happen. You know that, we all do.
