Why can fans see this so clearly and the Mavs coaching staff is slow to adjust??
Next one is pay Wood. Mavs won?t realize this till he walks or gets traded.

The frustrating part is that you (Kidd) should have been developing Hardy early on when you can afford to lose a few games. Now you're sort of unfairly putting him in high pressure situations like Celtics and Pels to perform. I'm glad he has stepped up, but it feels like Kidd is setting him up for failure.
Kidd has this make me make you play minutes mentality. Except that it doesn't apply to every player *cough* Bullock, Powell *cough*
Hardy did say the g league stint helped him, but this process has been way too slow. Especially with all the injuries. Signing Walker was a complete waste and another hurdle to Hardy getting minutes.
