I believe (I guess it’s more I hope maybe), going back to hiring Kidd and Nico that Cuban made them promise that they will take the year (or at least til the TDL, since they dealt KP and were rumored to be shopping THJ) to evaluate the guys he assembled on the roster before making them into their vision of a team.
Fire away with both barrels, as far as I'm concerned. It's why we're here, right?
Or don't. Everyone is free to interact with me (or not) as they wish!
As for the lack of progress you perceive on the topic, idk...I just disagree with you about this topic. I'm not intending to frustrate you or come off as silly. I REALLY believe that 4th ball-handler was (and likely will be) important, as long as Dallas' play-style is what it is.
A part of this means to me that Kidd played an offense that these guys were already familiar with. Basically he built the offense around the personnel he had.
This offseason through the 24 TDL, I believe we’ll see the guys who “make the cut” for a Kidd coached team come in and those that don’t, move out. I think Kidd is the type that wants hard nosed defenders who have good basketball skills and instincts.
So in regards to this conversation, I honestly don’t think we know what Kidd’s style and offense is gonna look like in a year or two because he will start bringing in (and developing) players to what he wants to see on the court. Maybe yhat is just wishful thinking, cause I myself was really bored with the “my turn, your turn” style of offense we use out there.
Also, SD was added with little regular season to go, the best we have to go off of with THIS team, right now, is when he really needed a playoff win, who did he go to? I think those minutes speak way more volume than any of our thoughts ever could.
