I don't feel like there's an ounce of justification for anyone but Green starting and playing starter minutes the first 1 to 2 months of the season. At that point maybe consider someone else
It's absurd. I like DJJ but he's clearly doesn't even play the same position as Josh Green. He's also an inferior player to Josh Green especially offensively. Kidd believes he's a mastermind but he's really a manipulative jackass. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Cuban suggested to Kidd that he try to devalue Josh Green somewhat given the current negotiations. After all, it worked so well with Christian Wood. What could go wrong? In reality, either THJ or Josh Green would be fine as the starting SF. Neither is perfect but both would be reasonable choices. Neither DJJ or OMax is a reasonable choice. Neither can handle the ball and neither is a decent 3-point shooter. They should clearly be power forwards on our roster. Kidd continues to become even worse with time.
Rick Carlisle may have been a hard-ass but he's an excellent coach who generally overachieved with his roster. We now have a coach who is both an asshole and incompetent. He also has an acknowledged history of hitting his wife. Jason Kidd was a terrible choice to become the Mavericks coach. He is, however, the coach that Mark Cuban deserves.
