Lack of accountability. It’s always someone else’s fault.

I always thought that he had a narcissistic personality, so it’s not surprising.

Kidd likely isn't going anywhere for atleast 1 more year.

The NBA players created this issue where players don't like Carlise whos a good X and Os guy but a complete prick. Kidd who players like but his coaching is questionable.

I don't recall ever feeling this about RC, not even Avery, the board also didn't criticize RC almost.
Kidd is just aweful, his only saving grace, defense, is gone.

I liked Rick but he's an old school guy who apparently rubbed Luka the wrong way. Mavs aren't strong willed franchise like Miami and will pick the player over the coach/FO every time.

Lakers shoot 17% 3s.... Dallas 40%.
Lakers score 62 in paint....Dallas 32.
Lakers kill us on the boards.

This has been a common theme for several years and Powell is the common factor.

When in the hell is the FO going to understand this and do something about it?

KOC becoming Kevin O'Bomber

But he's right they arent winning a title. Depending on playoff matchups the Mavs could be out in Rd1 or going back to the WCF tops.

The problem is that nearly everyone sees this but the people who have the power to change.

No team will win a championship with a starting center that can't score, rebound or play any defense.

Powell is averaging 4.6rbs for the season and 0.5blks... Well, he had 6 rbs which means he was over his averages, that's good enough for Cuban.

Sad part is, Cuban will also ride with Kidd until Kyrie is on board and that's even a bigger mistake than Powell being in the starting lineup.

[ejs78]

Its not just a Powell is at center thing.

No one can keep their guy in front of them and they dont fly around like they did last year on D. I dont know how many times I saw today that Luka didnt even try to get a hand up on wide open 3s.

I know the Mavs should have the taxpayer MLE but does anyone know (which I think they do) also have the Bi-annual exception?

Probably so, but we haven't had a center for a decade and Powell has been on the team 9 of those years.
I'm so sick of this team getting beaten up in the paint and they always act like there is no other option than Powell.
I find it very hard to believe they couldn't have addressed that at the deadline, especially with Powell's 11m expiring contract.
The Kyrie move made absolutely no sense if they weren't planning to address the other major existing problems and also the problems created by the Kyrie trade.

Agree, the Powell issue existed before the Kyrie trade and then another hole was created from that trade.

I'm not sure why Green has been demoted when he is basically our best wing defender.

I don't like the construction of this team and can't imagine Cuban will be happy about the mess he has created by the end of the season. The problem is that he will never admit it and do anything about it.

Mavs have holes in their roster(frontcourt obviously) and they also have a coaching problem..RC wasn't loved by the Players cause he's oldschool,Kidd came in (he's a Players coach) and motivated them and they overachieved last season...the problem is the front office thought they are closer to contending than they actually were...they get outrebounded every single game,teams fighred out they can Play on the inside cause the big Men suck and the only way they win games is if they're shooting the lights out...they're to one dimensional...offseason needs to be drastic,this team needs a rebuild...Luka, Green, Hardy and Kai(if they get capable big Man) can stay,everybody Else can go...i don't care if you're a Nice Guy,good locker room Guy, you need some basketball skills also

[Archx]

I swear Mavs always find a way to break every record in the most negative way.

You all mean the center problem that the team had last year and that was the #1 priority of the front office in the off season?

It’s like they took a step backward by trying to take a step forward.

Still, there was no reason to lose that game up 27points. The team was weak mentally and Luka looked like a poor leader. He certainly has more maturing to do.

Completely agree!

I'd be fine with keeping Wood as well but put him back at PF where he belongs.
I personally think we already lost Kyrie so now we are without a few trade pieces and 3 draft picks.
If Brunson didn't want to play 2nd fiddle to Luka, I don't know why Cuban would think Kyrie would.

Agreed. Same problem as last year. Nico fixes one problem but creates another in the process.

But I do think the problem with rebounding goes beyond just replacing Powell with a good rebounding C. The problem is that our entire front court from SF to C is undersized.

THJ/Green/Bullock/Holiday are all undersized as a 3 or 4
Powell/Wood/Maxi are all undersized as a 5

That's 7 key players that a good chunk of the time they play are overmatched physically. This problem is clearly exacerbated in situations where teams have multiple bigs that switch because then Luka and Kyrie can't play them off the floor. See today's matchup with Vanderbilt/AD or last playoff series with Green/Looney as samples.

But that should have drastically changed with trading for Kyrie.
This isn't a young team full of recent draft picks and rookies, it is loaded with veterans.
Green has been demoted to the bench and limited role/minutes, and Hardy isn't even considered now.

You're right, there is no excuse for this team to lose being up by that many points.
