2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

If Dirk really believed that Kidd was the right guy for the job to replace RC (and that is what we have been told), then I think you have to trust Dirk on this one. He has an inside perspective that we frankly don't have.

Dirk being nice might work against him here though.  He never played for Jason Kidd the coach even if Kidd was "like having a coach on the floor".  Dirk is also really malleable having been coached by the likes of Nelson, Johnson and Carlisle who all have different approaches.  I believe Dirk wants what is best for the Mavs and Luka, but he also wants his friend (Kidd) to do well.   

I'd have a short leash with Kidd personally and I also be looking at the landscape for possible, long term alternatives. My key takeaway from the Luka presser was that he values continuity.   In my mind, Kidd is the most unstable piece of our puzzle after KP.
