Kidd probably gave him the red light this year to make sure his confidence stays high. If there's one thing Lively has not been this year, it's as timid as the typical rookie, so Kidd has done quite well with him. I detest Kidd as our coach, but he has done great with Lively this year.
I say PF, but I'm thinking just something more than a dunker (although he's filling that role admirably). If he's a distance threat, even if it's just to the foul line, then he could loosen up the middle to the advantage of Luka and Kyrie's creativity.
I'm not being critical. I'm loving the current team vibe and I was ready to give my interest in this season not long ago. IDK how far they will get in the playoffs, but I like the potential of this group more than anything DAL has put together since 2011. My sincerest hope that they keep it together as much as possible so we can start with this base next season.

Luka
Kyrie
