Combined GDTs for this sh$#show

Derozan would have changed this team. That type of player is who we need on thr wing. Even more than Kyrie. We need a Mobil semi intelligent big and we need a 2 way wing or someone with size who can get buckets, pass and reb.

DeRozan is who they should've targeted few years ago but te FO was too hellbent on only getting guys who space the floor around Luka.

Rc said the post up and mid range shots were no longer good shots in today's NBA.

What I also find baffling is that the mavs refuse to play two bigs together most of the game.

Yet look at Minnesota, Cleveland, Utah, NY and Atlanta those teams often play two bigs at the same time and not all their bigs are stretch bigs

Dallas reluctantance to play that way is why they repeatedly rank year after year in the bottom 5 for rebounding.

Each one of those teams play a traditional big next to a stretch big together

Dallas very rarely wmhas used McGee next to Wood and Kleber as the stretch bigs this year

Wood and McGee as starting bigs was never a real thought for Kidd. It was the start of his downfall for me. You run those 2 in the slu for at least 20 games. Exhaust that option and get/show proof that it isn't working.

The other teams you mention have one of their 2 bigs who can be a shot blocker and or at least a mobile big who also switch and recover. Maybe McGee and Wood have that capability but we will never ever know. I would have still tried it. We spent years watch RC cater and counter other teams lineups instead of forcing adjustments. Kidd didn't even try. He fulfilled the minimal version of McGee starting but never ran another actual big along side and apparently we still don't have the data that tells him we are baaaaad at rebounding.

Kidd would rather play Bullock, THJ, or Holiday at the 4 than give McGee or Morris some minutes.

Yep

He's trying to use those guys to replace DFS at the 4 and neither of them have the size or length as DFS to play that position

Then when play Powell or kleber at center with other little guys you compound the situation even more

I'm actually shocked at this because Kidd was apart of that lakers staff that played 2 bigs together doing their title year in the bubble

Then he said coming into this season he wanted the mavs to get bigger and yet he's playing a bunch of midget ball lineups
