Jason Kidd didn’t just celebrate a heartfelt victory over the Boston Celtics on Thursday. He celebrated what he envisions the new Mavericks looking like.
It’s a picture that won’t be clearly visible for a while, but Kidd reiterated that it’s going to be different. That doesn’t mean it won’t be as successful as last season.
But nobody has that crystal ball.
Kidd said that the Mavericks now have the ability to play two traditional big men at the same time. It goes against the NBA’s recent grain. Most teams have stocked up on swingmen and guards and gone with one center or a power forward who works as a makeshift center.
