MAVS NEWS:

I'm in the Fire Kidd team even before Christian Wood's time (although he was right about Wood most times, but that's not the point here). Kidd - the player sees plays happening in real time, and he can conjure things up on the fly, but as a coach? He is slow to see what's happening, slow to react, and slow to adjust. This has happened in every season -- Kidd devises a plan and sticks with it. In game adjustments are a whack for this guy, as it takes him 8 to 10 games to see what's not working. The Mavs offense worked in large part because of Luka, Brunson and later on Kyrie. Those guys were the in-game coaches of the team that helped the Mavs overcome Kidd's deficiency. Kidd was too reliant on his star guards that he didn't bother to install a structured go-to offense. I remember a time when the Fire Kidd movement has taken hold, but no thanks to Luka and Kyrie's brilliance, Kidd had a shot at the title and retained his job -- and some fans disgustingly equated this success vis-a-vis with coaching competency. I often LOLed at Nick of Locked-On-Mavs for this. With all that said, the first order of business is to fire Nico. Kidd can stay to help with the tanking part since even if he wanted to win -- he likely wouldn't have the competency to do that. But by the start of next season, I'd want a fresh start. I love Coooper Flagg and will support him even if he just becomes Franz Wagner at his peak. I'd want AD out, Klay out and Martin out. It's enough these guys remind me of Nico's mess but they have real detrimental flaws. Get this done and even if the Mavs do not make the play-offs for 3 years -- most of the lost fans will be supporting the team just as much as the Dirk days.
