Early days still, but relying on Powell (16 minutes) is absurd, but on the other hand expected given past history. Kidd gets no benefits of the doubt. If the Mavs don't change the story line about their glaring weaknesses, then he should be gone before mid-season. They have enough new talent to make a difference. It may not be enough of a difference but same old, same old is not acceptable. Might try playing Holmes and Morris a bit more and limiting the mpg for Powell and Maxi. We know what they can do..

The fouls are exactly why I said he won?t be getting much burn in his first year per game. Summer league he stayed getting called for fouls.

I hope Holmes is ready to make some noise because the opportunity will be there.
