1) What reason is there to hate on the move for POBO? Like a previous post said, that title does not necessarily mean GM. Owners have been very explicitly clear at the 3-5 year time line & building thru the draft and not signing free agents until the right time. Right now Kidds track record is blank in this role. Stan Van Gundy just got the same deal in Detroit.

2) Where is the credit for Kidd taking a Nets team that was 10-21, lost their All Star Center for the year and he took them to Game 5 of the EC semi's vs the Heat with KG's corpse at C and 36 year old Paul Pierce at PF. Yeah, and this was Kidd's 1st year as a head coach.

3) Call Kidd a guy with an ego, but I'm positive his current boss Prokohov has a bigger one and we probably don't know the full context of what's going on in the hierarchy of their organization. Kidd is a guy that we could have here for a long time if these reports are true. He's definitely respected around the league, can manage NBA talent and brings a championship caliber resume.

Kidd played the game the right way at an elite level and is one of the all time best PG's in the history of the NBA. I kinda like the idea of him coaching Jabari & Giannis.

The owners have my full trust and if they feel this is the right move, I'm rolling with them on it. These types of moves would never be possible with Kohl as owner. Kidd is a guy who could get guys to sign here when the time is right. He definitely changes the culture and would provide for a pretty entertaining ride ahead for the Bucks organization. This definitely excites me more than the prospect of Drew staying on as head coach.

For those that hate it...what's the specific reasoning against it?

What? Spurs system is nothing innovative. Thunder just play hero ball.

OKCs model isn't innovative but I disagree with your assessment of SA

What's innovative? Ball movement?

BuckPack has competition.

If the Bucks wind up with Jason Kidd they are definitely becoming relevant.

Regardless of what I think of him as a HC.

That Carl guy on the Nets board is like their BuckPack. Dropping bombs

Are the Nets still hard for Ersan? Ersan for Kidd straight up.

Lasry was Kidds financial advisor per Rotoworld.

With the apparent bad blood I am pretty the Nets will be happy to let him go for nothing or at worst a 2nd round pic

Im fully against a dual role and Kidd making front office decisions. As coach I'm willing to look at it. He cant be worse than Drew.

According to the insider/barrista/janitor/etc who broke this on the Nets board (and has legit info), Kidd was the one who reached out to the Bucks. So at this stage, its not clear if this was even on Lasry and Eden's radar until a day or so ago. The insider also said that as recently as two days ago Kidd was working to recruit free agents to the Nets. So this is all super new. Not part of some master plan hatched long ago from either side.

As little as I think of Jason Kidd as a human. I actually like the fit. He was actually really good the second half of the season.

I'm sure you're very pretty. But I don't know what that has to do with this.

So the idea is Kidd+Hambone and Drew? :lol:

That will implode soon, Kidd is an egomaniac.
