Moreover, Kidd was also apparently late for the post-game interview because of a team meeting. What was said at that meeting is also unclear. But it’s tense times in Dallas, as the team continues to plummet. Clearly, the experiments haven’t been working yet. Cooper Flagg at point guard has led to a dysfunctional offense. In terms of the team’s potential, the Mavericks can be lethal. Anthony Davis put up a monstrous performance against the Wizards. And with D’Angelo Russell available, there’s a lot of versatility on the Mavs roster. They just have to find a winning formula with the resources. And while a report floats, Jason Kidd did speak about building the team. Jason Kidd asks for patience from the Mavericks fans It felt like Flagg’s arrival would help the fanbase heal. They were furious with Harrison for trading away Doncic to the Lakers. It only got worse as the Mavericks failed to make the postseason last year. With the top pick, they were meant to revive their upset fanbase once again. That hasn’t lived up to the mark yet. But the Duke sensation is just a rookie, and playing out of position. It’s an experiment the Mavs are trying, despite having Russell. And while it has led to two straight losses, Kidd requests patience from the fans. “I think they have a right to vent, but there’s a patience [needed]. It’s a different team, it’s a new team. We’re just getting to understand each other. We’re going to keep learning each other. So I would say be patient, but I understand the frustration. We all want to win. We all want to compete at a high level, but it’s a game of expression, and fans have a right to express themselves,” said the Mavericks head coach. The thing is, Cooper Flagg hasn’t developed as a floor general yet. But if he does, the Mavericks could be colossal threats to any team. They would have an oversized point guard who can defend at a high-level. Once KAI returns, the offense could be electric with him, Flagg and Anthony Davis. Having the rookie as a PG is something the Mavericks have only just implemented. They are willing to make mistakes and learn. But if they perfect is, it’s has potential to make the Mavericks frontrunners this season.
