never thought I'd utter that phrase
My dislike for Avery came out not because he was outsmarted by Don Nelson, but it's due to him wanting to trade Dirk because he wasn't Duncan-like.
Avery wasn't blaming himself for the Mavs failures, he (in a way) -- indirectly put the blame on Dirk.
Kidd has taken a similar path.
He has this arrogance in him all the while achieving less.
