This is exactly the way I see it, too. To me, this is a no-brainer, provided Kidd can get PJW excited about the role. 

There are basically 7 guys who will hit camp hoping to be starters. It's a good problem, in a way, but might be tough to manage, hierarchy wise. We've seen teams crumble for less. This is part of Kidd's gig, though. I actually trust Kidd to make the egos work. Not sure I trust that he'll choose the right path.

One "selling" point they can make is that Lively/Gafford/AD missed a combined 102 games last season.  Any one of those guys go down and he is in the starting lineup.  The math/history says he will probably start over half the games anyways.
