Sure, but not really. Because, moves that make the roster "better" for some coaches, running some systems, don't fit into the plans of other coaches, running different systems. You really want THE guy who's going to be implementing the plan, longterm, to be in the mix on those decisions. Otherwise, you're spending resources for things you potentially might not want or need. 

It's basic, common sense.

This. Mavs made roster moves that fit into whatever scheme Kidd is trying to implement. Not sure if the Mavs are better or more talented but it changed the dynamics of the team. Two drop defense bigs. Forwards with questionable outside shooting. Bigger and more athletic but with worse spacing.
Looking around the league many teams/coaches are trending into a different direction. Switch heavy with 5-out spacing. Mavs invested a lot of assets into players that wouldn't fit into that kind of scheme. A potential new coach would have to work with a roster that was build to play a certain style of basketball or the Mavs would have to rebuild the roster again.
