Last season's no-Luka, no-AD, no-Lively, no-Gafford train wreck was a perfect time to try and show off. He had a few moments of promise, but couldn't sustain it consistently, then his wrist injury ended any opportunity to break through. So he ended up as expendable as a stretch waive to make room for re-signing Exum. AFAIK, he's still on a 2-way with MEM.Yeah, I also wouldn't put this on Kidd. While I'm happy for OMax recent upwards trending productivity, two points that Kidd can't provide should play a major role: 1. the very low overall quality of his current active team members and 2. the reality check that he was let go.
But it does appear a light has come on regarding his productivity.
Due to 1., his confidence goes up, as there is a higher need for him to produce.
And because of 2., he will make sure to not miss this opportunity - because otherwise he would be almost out of the league already.
