I would only resign him now for a sign and trade (to the Lakers?)--if that is legal--I have no idea. I'm not a technical, in depth fan. I'm just a...long time "fan"...of basketball in general, and the Mavs specifically.
I am really tired of the Mavs muffing on trades, coming and going, and not getting good value either way.
Hard for me to believe but I'm almost truly considering tanking for the rest of the season. I don't know if that would really help, or not--seems like we are between a rock and a hard place no matter what happens. Who would have thought that is possible when you have a generational talent like Luka...
I wasn't impressed with Kyrie from begginning, but for now he is doing his job as a proffesional. And those loses aren't his fault. In my opinion there is something what is going on behind the scenes in the Mavs.
And players boycotting a Kidd seems pretty realistic to me. Body language, approach, effort isn't on the same level for months.
Also i'm not blaming Kyrie for losses. I'm not a fan of him, but most loses are Kidd's fault. Defense doesn't exist and every time in the clutch time, opponent just need to get basket close to the rim, because at the worst, they will get 2 free throws.
Offensively that team isn't a bad, but defensively it's a disaster. We are readen book and every coach who watched few our games will now how to attack us (defeat) us.
Currently full tank must be priority now. If we can get a good wing prospect and trade for a defensive center the team can still be dangerous. With a new coach of course
With that, i wouldn't mind resigning Kyrie and see where the things are going.
