I think Calderon will fill the role that Kidd filled. He'll run the offense except when we want Ellis to create or work a 2 man game with Dirk.
It is nice to see Ellis play with some efficiency but pre season defenses are pretty vanilla. I just don't expect him to become an efficient player just because he joined Dirk and the Mavs. That may be OK as long he at least improves from his previous seasons because the Mavs could really use some offensive explosiveness on the team. The trade off could be a positive.
