2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Kammrath]

A thought I've been having lately: As great of a player as Kidd was (and he was GREAT), he wasn't really ever a pick and roll guy. He didn't have the pull-up game for it, like a CP3, for example. During the last great Dirk-led stretch of this team, JET was always the ball-handler when the offense played that way, while Kidd was a floor-spacer. 

Man, I sure hope Kidd isn't trying to make Luka great the way HE was great. There are similarities between the two for sure, but also some very key differences. I sure hope he understands that (surely he does, right?). I mean, don't you think Nash, for example, would've immediately focused on getting the pnr game going here (or keeping it going, rather), had he been the new coach?

If Kidd is trying to turn Luka into a glorified mismatch computer who brings the ball up, calculates the fastest way to find a mismatch for one of his teammates, calls an action to make that a reality, gives the ball up and watches the whole thing play out, I think that would make me really sad.

I personally don't see any evidence for this being the case. But yes it would be sad.
