AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

I like the idea of bringing Stotts in, but Kidd is notoriously loathe to have people around who represent even a slight threat to his authority, so I kind of doubt it happens.

I doubt is as well.  People can change though and maybe Kidd recognizes that offensive planning is not his personal strength.  Hopefully, he also recognizes that he probably needs to succeed this season or he will also be looking for a new job next summer.  

It's the function of the adults like Nico and Dennis Lindsay to convince Kidd that this move would be in everybody's best interest. 

I would expect that Mark Cuban would really like this maneuver as well as he delights in bringing back former Mavericks whenever possible.
