I mean, we are missing a guy who averages 30 ppg.
But yes, I'm not going to miss a Josh Green. You can't rely on a guy who "might" give you 15 points on the 5th night.

Hardy has 5th worst eFG% among 175 players with more than 250 field goal attempts. 28% on mid-range shots this season.

They fall In love with guys too easily here especially the mavs FO
If it takes giving up both Green and Hardy to get a legitimate upgrade on this roster you have to do it.
But I know the mavs will end up with guys after the buy out market because they'll ove value their own players
I hope I'm wrong but I just have that feeling the buy out market is what they'll end up doing in order to keep this roster intact

I do not like Kidd, but we have a consistent issue with low effort and physicality. Kidd isnt to blame for DP being the only big, and the team just not getting hard for these games. DP is just outmatched as a starter by most of the league and is barely servica le as a back up in a pinch.
Everyone sucked last night. No box outs, once again poor defense vs every look they had. Everyone out of position. No guards/wings crash the boards. Those players know they lack size but they still stand around and allow others to slip in to gst a rebound. When opposing teams are getting numerous attempts per posession by crashing the glass more than our defense, its bad. Kid can yell that every 2 mins and it still won't make a difference.

Everything you're saying falls on the coach. Full stop. If the team isn't playing hard for the coach by now, then we need a new coach.
If it was one or two guys not showing effort, then I could understand. Not showing up against the B squad of NO isn't acceptable under any circumstance.

That?s why I think a Siakam trade won?t change anything.
Teams play like their coach and Kidd is a stoner with zero motivation and no ability to draw up a play who just blames players for losses.
Luka is our star and he only plays hard when he feels like it. Otherwise he fakes an injury or just plays at 20% of his max.
That's the culture of this team.

What measures do you think any coach could take to get Kyrie, Luka, DP, THJ, Maxi, Curry, Hardy etc to play hard on defense and be fundamentally sound blocking out for rebounds? Im not going to defens Kidd and ive wanted him gone for a while, but the deeper issue is that we don't have defenders... whatsoever. We dont have 2 way players. Just a collection of specialists. I refuse to believe that Kidd and coaching staff arent showing film, attempting to motivate and get the most of what they have.
I think Kidd would steuggle with coaxhing the best team in the league but at some point the players have to be held responsible. You could put the best defensive mind known to man in charge of this team and his family would find him hanging in his closet after 2 months. They dont want to try hard vs teams they should beat and they sleep walk through games with lesser opponents. Almost in double digit losses directly after big, quality wins.

But it's repetitive and that's on the coach. To not show up against your competition now and then is understandable. With the Mavs, it's fully predictable. That means the stupid ass coach isn't doing his job.
Mavs aren't good enough to take nights off.

Repetitive does not excuse the only people actually playing. Kidd is dogshit and has poor roster mgmt and low IQ strategist, but Kidd could bull whip these players coming on and off the court and it wouldn't change much. Its like having college players vs NBA teams, doesnt matter who coaches them, theybare going to be severely lacking in some areas. We lack defense and rebounding.
If you had to choose, woukd you rather swap Kidd for a top 10 coach or get a quality back up big and a quality PF?

Stein's substack: Pacers mentioned most with regards to Siakam.
Will they make the trade knowing he won't commit in the summer?

Gonna be an empty arena. 13 degrees with an inch of what is now likely frozen snow on the ground.

Omax shooting 40% from three in his G league stint. Let's just play him already. We need a 4. Grant Williams sucks and DJJ is out.

He was recalled so he's available.
We can talk a lot of @#$% about Kidd (and most of it would be based in reality) but at least even Kidd knows that GWill is garbage.
November he played 32min
December he played 29min
January he's played 17min (even with the injury bug)

99% of Kidd bashing is deserved.
G Will 44 mins incoming.

I will say that Powell has had this best month of basketball since I can even remember. He still sucks and gets hit in the face more than any player in history, but he is finally putting up backup center numbers.
Lively upgraded to probable.

I would be surprised if Exum returned anytime soon. When you see the words "plantar facia" you know it's not gonna be good. I know it's not plantar fasciitis, but still, that foot issue is always bad. Although maybe it is and they are just saying it's a "bruise."

I will die on this hill, but Powell is the best third string center in the league. The problem is that we have no second-string center.
Also his chemistry with Kleber is palatable. Kleber/Powell are killers together.

This is where Willie Green makes adjustments and Kidd doesn't and the entire momentum of the game is lost never to be regained.

Nope! Guess not.
Mavs have blown their 16pt lead and look so hopeless.
I fucking hate seeing good players like Kyrie upset and it's all Kidd. Fuck that guy,

Kidd can motivate his guys for like a quarter at most.
Other coaches can make adjustments. When Green made adjustments, Kidd is completely unable to make a single strategic adjustment and the rest of the game we just lose slowly.
Mavs are the anti-comeback kids. We can come out strong, but we will always end with a whimper.

You should NOT have to motivate guys minute by minute and quarter by quarter. He could definitely lay into their asses amd its LONG overdue but he never does.
Kidd is a clown as well, but no one wants to hold the players accountable
