That way a training camp with Kidd could coach the guy to improve his defensive game and maybe make him a better player so that maybe we could get something decent back in trade at the TDL? A life coach to help him prioritize self improvement and mental development using various methods might make him a better person since word is he seems to need more focus on that part of his life to make him a more likable person.
Use him enough during the first half of the season to showcase him becoming a better player with a different usage pattern that makes him less exposed as a bad defender.
Basically hide his weakness and accentuate his positives so we can sell him for a nice ROI and take the best offer from the highest bidder at the TDL?
This assumes that they haven’t already tried their darndest to coach him up.
I’m guessing that, at this point in his career, he is what he is.
Can he be a useful player? Sure. At the right price. Vet min? Maybe a smidgen more?
But he also needs to be willing to accept that role, and that salary, and I’m not sure he is.
