TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

As I have said many times, they don't have very good roster-building with Cuban refusing to hire an expert GM, and what a coach can do gets limited by that ineptness.

And I still agree, but it's also becoming clear to me that the choices Kidd is making (within the flawed parameters he's given) are not the best choices for optimizing the situation. 

Carlisle would be doing this all differently, and for my money, much better. That's just one example. I have no beef with your central thesis about Cuban being the biggest, most insurmountable problem, but that doesn't change my suspicion that what Kidd wants to do, if given his ideal roster, isn't something of which I'd be a fan. I simply don't like what I'm starting to believe is his preferred brand of basketball.
