I think Kidd has done a pretty good job of managing Klay this year. I do expect the Mavs see him in their "timeline" for the future.
I am having trouble seeing fit though. Even if PJ, AD and Lively pairing works, Klay seems like an odd 5th starter. Ideally you would want that fifth starter to compete with PJ and Lively as your 3rd best player. I don't think that is Klay at this stage. Can I see him coming off the bench? Not really? I think he is still a good player. Up and down though, but I am having trouble fitting the pieces together even if our big front court works out.
