除了达拉斯小牛队，基德·吉尔基督在上周六被夏洛特黄蜂队买断后，从其他NBA球队得到了很多的兴趣。不过，他选择了与小牛签约，并与欧洲组合卢卡-多尼奇和克里斯塔普-波辛吉斯搭档。
事实证明，和卢卡和KP一起踢球并不是他选择小牛的原因。很显然，基德·吉尔基督所需要的只是和主教练里克·卡莱尔进行一次“冷静”的谈话，让他下定决心转会到德克萨斯。
根据达拉斯晨报的卡利·卡普兰的报道，这位26岁的防守专家在决定与达拉斯签约前几天通过电话与卡莱尔进行了交谈。
据报道，基德·吉尔克里斯对他们的真诚交谈印象深刻，他想：“好吧，这很酷。”
肯塔基州6英尺6英寸的产品并没有在免费代理池中停留太久，因为他在与卡莱尔通话几天后正式成为一名特立独行的人。小牛队不得不放弃瑞安·布罗克霍夫，为他们的新秀腾出空间。
作为小牛的一员，MKG周二首次面对媒体，并谈到了在达拉斯重新开始。
“在夏洛特这样的地方呆了8年，我18岁，现在26岁了，”基德·吉尔克里斯特在达拉斯晨报的布拉德·汤森德的一个片段中说，“我要强迫自己。”。我将推动我们的团队…我想加入我们的文化，赢得一些比赛
与此同时，里克·卡莱尔（Rick Carlisle）形容迈克尔·基德·吉尔克里斯特（Michael Kidd Gilchrist）是一个游戏玩家，是个十足的竞争对手。他将在周三在美国航空中心对阵萨克拉门托国王队的比赛中首次亮相小牛队。
达拉斯在基德·吉尔基督身上得到了一名合法的边后卫，现在有了一对一的防守威胁，可以和联盟中一些最好的球员抗衡。然而，MKG在夏洛特呆了近8年，他那断了的跳投让他无法在另一端取得进步。

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist swayed to sign with Mavs by ‘cool’ conversation with Rick Carlisle
原文：
Aside from the Dallas Mavericks, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist received plenty of interests from other NBA teams after he was bought out by the Charlotte Hornets last Saturday. However, he opted to sign with the Mavs and pair up with the Euro duo of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.
As it turns out, playing with Luka and KP was not the reason he chose the Mavs. Apparently, all Kidd-Gilchrist needed was a “cool” conversation with head coach Rick Carlisle for him to make up his mind about moving to Texas.
Per a report by Callie Caplan of Dallas Morning News, the 26-year-old defensive specialist spoke to Carlisle over the phone a few days before he made his decision to sign with Dallas.
Kidd-Gilchrist was reportedly left impressed by their genuine conversation and thought to himself, âOk, This is cool.â
The 6-foot-6 Kentucky product did not stay in the free agency pool for long, as he officially became a Maverick just a few days after the call with Carlisle. The Mavs had to waive Ryan Broekhoff to make room for their new swingman.
MKG faced the media for the first time as a member of the Mavs on Tuesday and talked about starting fresh with Dallas.
âBeing in a place like Charlotte for eight years, I was 18, now Iâm 26,â Kidd-Gilchrist said in a clip from Brad Townsend of Dallas Morning News. âIâm going to push myself. Iâm going to push our team and … I want to add to the culture and win some games.â
Rick Carlisle, meanwhile, described Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as gamer and a hell of a competitor. He is expected to make his Mavs debut against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday at American Airlines Center.
Dallas gets a legitimate wing defender in Kidd-Gilchrist and now have a capable one-on-one defensive threat that can match up with some of the best players in the league. However, MKG’s broken jumper has prevented him from making progress on the other end of the floor throughout his almost eight-year stay in Charlotte.
