Will the Mavs be above the line of "same" or below?
In my opinion, the roster will be near "same". The big change is coaching. JKidd is below RC as far as in game coaching ability. JKidd, I hope, knows to bring in help. There's indications that he did. I'm thinking about Avery. Avery was "great" as far as he went. His problems began when he started to believe it. Avery needed bench help, as with Del Harris. The Mavs went South after Avery lost Del. JKidd has his Luka-whisperer, if he'll use him. Worst case scenario will be JKidd gets schooled by the more adept coaches as Avery was by Nellie during that playoff series. That, to me, is what Mavs fans should be watching for. Luka will be Luka. Can JKidd, and staff, measure up to RC, and staff?
