It's not worth getting worked up over something we have absolutely no control over.

That makes no sense. You don't get upset when the Packer or Brewers lose? We have no control over it afterall.

Best front offices seem to have great relationships from the top down. Hopefully Kidd being top dog and having the ability to hire own guys quells his ego a bit.

This is **** awesome and **** hilarious all at once. The most entertaining Bucks season continues into the offseason. I don't even **** care anymore. I want to be entertained and I got nothing to complain about. Nothing is worse than Kohl, right? I mean, right?!?!

The reality is that you can't paint every player or non-player with the same brush. Everyone's different. Their own special snowflake.

I don't blame Kidd for not wanting to answer to Billy King. Billy King is awful. But I think the Nets are being correct in saying that Kidd hasn't proven himself yet.

As for hiring him on the Bucks? I'm not in favor of it, but it's kind of cool that we're in on these conversations for once.

Remembering why I lurked on this board for so long.

I get upset, yes, but I don't get worked up over it. What happens, happens. I'm sorry that I don't feel the need to go all "f this" or "f that" every time something doesn't go the way I want it to.

Exactly. Dude is a sleezeball. Just because he was a great player doesn't automatically make him a great coach/GM. And it certainly doesn't mean players are gonna wanna come play here because he's here.

Just get off of work and walk into this insanity?!

I'm kind of hoping this is all one big practical joke you guys have elaborately planned out and put into motion in the past five hours to fool me upon logging in. Well done gentleman, you had me for a while there.

No way I want Kidd in a POBO role. Coaching, fine. Wouldn't love it, but I can live with it. I don't want him making any personnel decisions.

That's fine. But then don't judge others when they do. You go "F him" all the time if Rickie Weeks f's up. So, big deal? Everybody reacts differently to different things.

As long as we don't give up any assets to get him from Brooklyn, I'll be fine with this.

This could be a great opportunity. I think we should be somewhat optimistic and grateful that we even have the chance to bring someone like Jason Kidd into our organization.

Where the hell did I judge anyone? :lol:

Don Nelson didn't have any coaching experience when he took over the team.

For me it is my disdain for Hammond and Drew.

Disdain for Hammond/Drew does not have to equate to supporting the hire of Jason Kidd to make basketball decisions.

True. But I don't know if Kidd would be good or not as POBO. I mean some people were talking about hiring David Robinson to be POBO, so what is the difference?

The new owners have a plan. Let them execute it and see how it unfolds before we jump off the cliff. I don't think Kidd could be any worse than Hammond/Drew. Surround Kidd with some knowledgeable and crafty front office people and see what happens.

Yep. I'm going to need to see a better argument than "I trust the new owners" as to why the **** we should advocate Kidd running this team.
