I just don't think the Dallas braintrust has the wherewithal to build a contender on the fly, which is what they're looking at. Denver has been building towards this culmination for at least 4 years and it was derailed when Murray got injured. It takes time and shrewd and smart decisions. Connelly got the ball rolling, then when he left Booth took over and got them to what looks to be the finish line.
You go to war with the army you have. This FO is our army.
IMO, coaching is different in that they can be pressed upon. Kidd's leash was WAY too long last year. His objectives need to be detailed to him, not simply "win". Making Wood work should have been an objective. Scheming to make the Luka/Kyrie a tandem within a framework dictated to him should have been an objective.
This brings me to the purpose of this exercise... modeling Luka/Kyrie after Jokic/Murray. THEN building around that.
