Kidd is the Defacto DAL GM

[hakeemfaan]

Can't speak for Kamm, but while I don't think the roster Kidd inherited was perfect (far from it), I think how he has coached the team for about 2/3 of the time he has worked here has been the biggest issue. 

I hate his offense. 

I don't care much for his defense, because it seems like when they don't give it maximum attention/effort, it immediately plummets from about 10th one of the league's worst. 

From where I sit, it doesn't seem like he is all he was advertised as in terms of motivating players, to this point. 

His game management in general and specifically ATO's are laughably bad. 

He is roughly 1/10 the coach Rick Carlisle was, imho. 

I don't think a semantic debate about who is pulling the strings is required to be displeased with the Kidd hire at this point.

This is a thread created to blame Kidd for GM decisions. There are others where Kidd’s coaching is being discussed   Kamm doesn’t seem to understand the basic issue of management that if hierarchies are being overstepped or not being well defined, then the person in charge ( the owner here) is to blame. Especially when there is clear documented evidence that this was happening in the last regime as well. Was Kidd to blame there as well?

If one is frustrated with Kidd’s coaching it doesn’t bolster their arguments by talking about other stuff that others are clearly responsible for and using that too to blame Kidd.  At that point it comes across as agenda driven.

If there are GM issues blame Nico. If as Mavs fans we want to see change hold the coach accountable for coaching decisions.  The GM for GM things which include monitoring the coach. The owner for owner decisions which includes monitoring the GM  and making sure the GM has full power to do what he is supposed to do. 

This franchise has been mired in this type of nebulous hierarchy for a decade now and fans playing favs on who they want to blame when in a normal well run organization you know exactly what each person does and if things in their area are slipping, then they and only they are held accountable. That’s how you get results.  That’s why this should  100% be on Nico if the GMing is poor.  Just like any coaching criticism should 100% be on Kidd.
