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 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.

Totally.

And to be fair, if Kidd is the guy longterm, then sure, build the team according to his vision. It's only my opinion, but after giving him what I considered to be a clean slate this season, I just don't like what he's doing, sorry. I don't know if the Mavs decision makers are even stopping to consider whether coaching is an issue right now, obviously, but man, I sure would be if I were in their place. 

T0 the current MBT's credit, the team is athletic in a way that Donnie/Carlise never seemed to value much. I like that part. I just don't like anything about what they're doing defensively (unless they're playing Kleber and Washington together) and I CAN'T STAND the approach to offensive spacing and ball movement. I just don't understand a decision to play any other way than what gives Luka and Kyrie the most possible space to operate.
