Should the Bucks hire Jason Kidd (as coach pg 43)?

[xTitan]

Not psyched about the idea of trading a pick for Kidd, but I must admit it is nice to see the Bucks in the thick of it in the national media, and for something not embarrassing. We seem to be in control of the situation.

Really? You see it that way? From everything I have read, I have not seen one positive comment from the national media about the Bucks in this fiasco, not to mention the possibility of a tampering charge.

But that's also because you're the biggest pessimist in the history of the board and only seem to post negative comments.

What did I say that was wrong? You think this is the proper way to conduct business?

I'm just hoping the bucks don't get nailed with a tampering charge. From the sound of the time line it sure looks like the bucks talked to kidd without permission. Would be heartbreaking to lose a 1st rounder for it.

Lasry: " . . you buy a team and you think you can do things, and then you find out you have to ask permission to do anything. You have to get permission to change uniform colors, you can't even do something like pick colors. . ."

Yes, Marc, when you join a league and by doing so enter a new market, you have to play by the prevailing rules of the league or market you are joining.

I'm fine with him over Drew as coach. I guess I would have rather seen the progression as hire a POBO first, let him decide Hambone's fate and then the coach. We're doing it ass backward.

I would say though if you know Drew is done and Kidd is the target, let's get him before SL. That's part of the development of Giannis, Parker et al. There's certainly some nasty elements to this whole thing but it will be forgotten shortly, especially if we are successful.

This seems to be the general consensus.

sounds like dude has some rustled jimmies. rich king, u mad bro?


most net fans had no problem with kidd as just a coach. many thought he did a solid job all things considered.

Its no coincidence that the very same posters who told everyone this team was headed to Seattle numerous times are the same ones being nothing but negative... All the time.

It's been what 6 weeks now that L&E have taken the reigns and before all the facts are even out they're being compared to Herb Kohl. As much as I absolutely love this board, I can only take so much of it because the amount of pessimism and negativity gives me a migraine.

I've learned in life to stop assuming I know everything before the dust settles because I always looked like an ass when I was way off. I choose to be optimistic but feel free to be pessimistic if you so choose.

I absolutely hate Drew as a coach and think he is the worst coach I can remember. He did a terrible job developing youth last year too. So I don't mind going after Kidd as a coach. But if we did have to forfeit a first rounder, that would be devastating and unforgiveable. But has anyone heard any proof of this yet? Or is it all just people guessing how it went down?

People guessing right now. I feel like if there were legitimate tampering allegations that we would have heard about it by now.

If Kidd and Lasry had been seen together, it would definitely have been reported by now. Obviously we have no idea if they spoke on the phone or anything, but I also don't know if the NBA can demand that kinda stuff either. I have no idea what power the NBA has in investigating tampering charges, but yeah, I still feel alright since the only person I've seen that's really definitively said that tampering occurred was a random Nets Twitter account.

You have absolutely no idea how business is being conducted. You know what the Nets PR division has put out there.

Not saying it will happen, but I would never forgive the owners if we had to sacrifice a pick because they tampered.

I posted last night that my hypothesis was that Lasry and Kidd conspired to find a way to use the power grab strategy in BKN knowing full well it would piss off management and they'd be done with Kidd, releasing him from his remaining 3 year contract. It seemed far too convenient that Kidd would throw a hissy fit and then, allegedly in the same conversation, ask for permission to speak with the Bucks.

This reeked of tampering and I too will be furious if this jeopardizes a 1st round pick when we need every one we can possibly obtain.

Be carefull with generalisations. Although if you're talking about x titan he is always negative (Did you like my generalisation? =D )

That is not what they are saying at all. They are saying that L&E are doing the same things that we got on Herb Kohl about, and are asking for some consistency in their assessments.

i love how it was all "hes a wife beating drunk that has no experience to run a team" now its basically ok with all of that and only one year of coaching experience as long its as coach and not front office work. classic

How could you possibly not see the difference?

Would you care as much if the team janitor was a wife-beating drunk?

[Fresh_Prince12]

Someone on the JS comments area saying this is the worst move since trading Traylor for Dirk

oh god, i needed that

[paulpressey25]

You tamper and/or go behind the back of your GM and coach when you are trying to hire Pat Riley or Phil Jackson.

Jason Kidd? Not so much.

[MetroDrugUnit]

Nets are a pretty good franchise tho

Thanks

Right, cuz when I think of epically successful franchises The Nets are my clear 1#
