Trade & FA 2023-24: Paul George to Test Free Agency After No Contract Extension

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Question, y'all... What is Kidd's system? Do you really think he has a vision and scheme, or just coaches the talent he's given? IMO, he's the latter.

How Kidd handled Kyrie and fitting him with Luka last year is coaching malpractice.  Do you really think the problem is Kyrie didn't fit his system, or that he coaches what he has and is 
s-l-o-w to scheme?

Quick answer, on offense, is we are predictable. The argument for Kidd’s “system” being: Luka and Kyrie taking turns ISO ball is better than almost any offensive scheme you could dream up. There is some validity to that. I would wait to withhold judgment fully until after these guys have a full training camp etc. I would like to see more complicated actions wherein PJ flash or post is a decoy for the intended back door action. The kind of stuff Spoelstra’s teams seem to excel at. But that does take time, and buy in and discipline from players. 

Honestly, OkC has a great young talent base. But the most impressive thing to me is the discipline Daigneault has installed in such a young inexperienced group. I’m not sure right now they have another gear to ramp up to though, whereas the Mavs do. Miami famously ramps up to playoff ball. Talking about this year btw.
