IZTOK DIAGNOSES DECLINE OF MAVS OFFENSE

[KillerLeft]

And what type of offence would Kidd run if KP was not on this team?

That's a great question. 

I think the elephant in the room is that Kidd was brought in with a mandate of making KP happy and to help him look good enough to make the Mavericks' situation a little less depressing while they figure out what to do next. I'm not even joking. 

A fool's errand, imho, but I have to say that Kidd has accomplished it with more success than I anticipated, which could, in a certain light, be viewed as reason to inspire hope.

I get that Kidd is trying to elevate KP's game, but it almost feels like sub-optimizing to make one guy successful.

This.
