Would love this. Would be smart to give Udoka and experienced coach to aid his transition, plus he's a more defense-focused coach, so an offensive mind as lead assistant would be ideal.

I understand he is a wifebeater, but strictly his coaching ability seems fine and tons of players respect and want to play for him seemingly.
I actually thought the spilling water thing was genius, he's just a mediocre coach at best. He has a career .491 winning percentage coaching a loaded Brooklyn team and Milwaukee teams with Giannis (not in his prime yet, but still) with a strong team around him that never finished better than 42-40. His teams always underachieved and unlike Kidd as a player had poor fundamentals and played dumb and sloppy. I don't think it's out of the question he could succeed in Dallas and Udoka could fail here, but I'd MUCH rather have Ime than someone who's already failed twice, no matter how great a player he was.
