On the surface, when I look at the roster , that seems like where they would try to go from here.
But as I think about it more, I'm not so sure. I have shared for a while that I believe Kidd's model team he wants to build towards is the Mavs title team, and the PG there (Kidd himself) was far from a ball dominant player.
If I'm right, then AD is their new Dirk. They stay loaded up on bigs to make the game easier for AD. Extra size at the 3 with PJ. If we look at that team and this one, side by side, there's a huge resemblance. That was about the opposite of a one man team, and hung their hat on their size, stifling defense, especially to close out games, and some timely efficient scoring.
Interesting concept. So, is Kyrie Jet Terry? Klay is Peja? PJ is Marion? The bigs are kind of self-evident.
I might have said we have too many wings between Christie, Naji and Martin (Butler, Stevenson and Brewer), but after this season, I’ll never say that again (plus, Kyrie and Thompson are going to miss games).
The question then becomes who is Kidd and how do we get him?
