Who has the most to gain/lose during the rest of the season?

[F Gump]

I think the one at a crossroads is Kidd. What he does with this end-of-season will be illuminating.

There are a lot of things in play for him to navigate, but none of those issues are really team-stoppers.

Allocation of minutes and rotations.
Allowing for rest and avoiding injuries.
Determining team style of play, on offense and defense.
Development of team chemistry in the court, and young players needing to improve.
Balancing team needs and individual needs (that often conflict).
Winning enough games to be in a good position for the playoffs, while also creating the best opportunity for post-season success (those can conflict as well).
Working for now, while also laying the groundwork for the future (player satisfaction, player skills, player desire to be a Mav long term)

Those are a lot of plates to juggle, but it also means there's a real opportunity for Kidd to showcase whatever he can bring to a team. And all of the individual players at a crossroads are also some of what is on Kidd's plate, to get the best possible outcome from each, but in a way that is most beneficial to the team.
