Kidd is the Defacto DAL GM

The point being:

Kidd gets who Kidd wants. Nico is his errand boy.

The point being Nico is the GM. If he is Kidd’s errand boy then it is Cubans fault. Not Kidd’s.  I know your argument is that Kidd should not overstep his boundaries.  However that means there are two other glaring issues. Nico doesn’t have the spine to ask Kidd to back off or that Kidd is going directly to Cuban. 

Assuming Kidd is even doing that, an owner whose last front office regime ended in total chaos as he refused to define boundaries and roles doing the exact same thing immediately after is the one to blame here. The only one. 

But keep harping on Kidd and ignore the elephant in the room that will be in the room even after Kidd and Nico are gone. Blaming the dying branches and leaves of a tree that is rotten at the root is missing the obvious issue.
