I'm just saying Kidd has ALL the incentives to make this work.
If things go poorly, especially early, in his tenure with the Mavs it might be the last time he'll ever get a HC gig ala Terry Porter.
Porter had middling success for 2 years as a head coach (with MIL funnily enough) until he got a big chance to step up and coach the Suns after they let their superstar head coach MDA go. He coached them to a .550 record and was fired quickly into his first year (4 months to be exact) after Nash and co hated his style changes. He was replaced by assistant Alvin Gentry.
Porter never got a head coaching position again.
If Kidd can't make it work with arguably the best 22 year old to ever lace em up then he's as good as toast. It's in his best interest to pull out ALL the stops.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
