So now the theory is that Kidd is sabotaging the season and on team tank. Doing things to win a power struggle with the GM. It couldn’t be that this team is bad, like any team would be without their 2 all-stars and best Big man. The offense is bad… no %#*^. It’s missing two 25+ ppg scorers. The best offensive player is career 13 ppg PJ Washington. We all praised the new assistant hires, especially the OC. We were told that it would look more like a Kings/Sabonis style offense with Davis/Lively as the hub. Well, no Davis. No Lively.. We beg for PG play early on and the best option is shooting 36% from the field. Kidd also told Klay to buy in to the tank plan, so that the organization can get a better pick for when he’s long gone. That explains his abysmal play.

This team is built with injury prone players. That is the problem. Lack of top end talent being available. That’s it. No conspiracy, no power plays. Sure, there are probably deeper flaws, as we thought the depth of this team was a strong point, but depth is just that. Russell, Klay, and Max are not meant to be the leaders of the team, they are role players for a reason.


I think I need a break from Mavs forums.
