Mavs have a leadership problem | Cuban and Harlabob argue on Twitter

I don't disagree, but this offense can't function in a regular season game against New Orleans. So, to me, that's worse, not better. Still time for it to improve, of course - no panicking here. 

I don't mind some of what's being attempted, philosophically, but I do think they've moved a little too far away from the state of the art spacing that made Luka so successful so quickly, and I do think there's a bit too much of a green light from the midrange. Brunson and Luka are both GREAT in the midrange, imo. Burke has his moments. Hardaway, KP, Bullock? Nah, those are wasted possessions.

I am ok with taking a few steps back given that the offense we had the last few years had a limited ceiling IMO. The question is whether it will lead to more forward steps and a higher ceiling than our previous offense. 

The starting lineup yesterday was horrible. Bad decision by Kidd. I am a defense first guy but have two legit offense guys in at all times. 

Look I was not in favor of the Kidd or Nico hires. I think Kidd is a high BB IQ guy but all his coaching jobs seemed handed to him without much dues and he has not exactly been successful either.  If Mark wanted a PG with a ring, I would have preferred Cassell. He has at least more than paid his dues. 

However now that Kidd is here, I want to at least give some time to him before saying his plans won’t work.
