Mavs play 15 players at request of three-man 'leadership council'

Jason Kidd played all 15 active players last night, in a move requested by the Mavericks' three-man 'leadership council', reportedly consisting of Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and Tim Hardaway Jr.

ANALYSIS: While players always have an ever-increasing role in today's NBA, there has never been anything quite like this. 

It seemingly represents a shift in Kidd's personality as a coach, being far more accepting of what the players want than he was in Los Angeles. But we do not yet know who exactly makes up this leadership group.

It remains to be seen what other affects this council could theoretically have if they're already abel to have significant input on rotations.
