KL, back to the discussion.
1 No response to the LONG outline by ESPN of what seems to be a renewed emphasis on bigs, and how that might bear on Mavs roster- building choices?
2 On Coby, to me I have doubts Mavs really would want him (or like whatever cost it would take). If they did, I dont think they would have added DR as the 7th or 8th guard on the 15-man. That's already close to excessive and leaves the other 3 positions thin.
3 Re AD and his role, I recalled a thought I had weeks or months ago and if it still might look right. It was that Kidd's vision is to recreate Mavs title team. If true, DG/DL are intended to mirror Ty and Haywood, and he wants AD to be able to be Dirk. If true, it would also offer hints at what he will try to make happen with other players (fill in blanks). It's an interesting exercise to imagine Kidd planning w that model and what that makes the team look like.
