I agree on that, but if our offense can be more creative and diverse it can help in efficiency and help our defense.
endrity - I think Kidd is fine, but I stick with the point that we put too much on his plate...mainly the defense. He is a savvy defender and a good off the ball defender, but to give him the control on offense and on top of that make him guard the toughest wing player on defense is too much. Who else is really going to guard them? I would do what they did with Wade: send out Wright, then George, maybe sprinkling in some Kidd or go with Josh.

What?
Under Avery this year would this stuff happen?
-Would Green and/or Singleton have gotten the minutes they've gotten so far?
-Would Stack be playing in more games than he has now?
-Would George be playing/starting the games Wright has started?
-Would he say "I'm giving the play-calling control to _____."
Carlisle does have some Avery tendencies, but he is much more creative on offense and more open-minded to what his players suggest.
