Brian Windhorst says Kidd is most likely going to Milwaukee and Bucks GM John Hammond and Larry Drew have no clue about this yet.

This is basically a Bucks ownership/Kidd relationship now.

WTF.

I get you don't like the guy, but why do you have to wish the Bucks organization goes down in flames? :nonono:

First: Props to you for beating everyone to the punch with this story.

Second: You are probably going to get yourself or whoever is leaking this info fired.

Since he's technically under contract with us...wouldn't the Bucks need to trade us a draft pick or something in order to get him?

This is exactly like the Doc Rivers situation in Boston...except much more sudden.

You know what? You are correct, that was poor of me and I shouldn't have said it.

But if your owners are stupid enough to give him that kind of power, they are bringing it down on you guys.

Why would he get in trouble for this? Just because he beat everyone else to the punch? All the beat writers have caught on and have also started to "report" this...I don't think they're going to get in trouble.

We see beat writers break news all the time...they don't get in trouble. Just because the guy isn't Woj or Aldridge, him and his source are going to get in trouble? That doesn't make sense to me.

They would probably just let him go, though I would do everything I could to not pay him the rest of his contract.

Kidd's a douche.

But most importantly, props to Carl. There's no doubt in my mind...this is the GOAT thread on RealGM.



121-109 in 3 seasons. turned a 23 win team into a 51 win team in 2 seasons

you want an awful coach, thats jason kidd.


Dude had stacked Warriors team to work with, and underachieved with them. Blatantly didn't prepare his team during the playoffs, because he's too busy proselytizing. Calls ISOs for Jarrett Jack, Klay Thompson, and Harrison Barnes over and over again on crucial possessions in the playoffs, when he has a top 5 player in the league on the court. His offensive playcalling sucks. The one thing I would give him credit for is his ability to coach defense and motivate players, pretty much exactly like Kidd. Him and Kidd are on the same level. There's a reason why GS fired him...they should have done a lot better than they have.


They were hit with some injuries and they're a flawed team. Stacked wouldn't be the word to use. He was fired because upper management and him was always butting heads. He didn't have a team full of veterans OR the payroll Kidd was given. Jackson isn't a HOF Coach, but he's not terrible.

I don't know that its the same situation. I mean, after this went down, there's no chance that Kidd remains with the Nets, right?

If you're Kidd, you probably rather get fired...keep getting paid by the Nets while new team (Bucks) pays for diference of his new raise. Worst move he'd make is to get "traded" to Bucks and immediately lose a first round pick.

He posted this Thursday, which means whoever his source was likely was in that room when all of this went down (at worst, in nearby rooms). Teams don't generally appreciate insiders leaking things like this.

As a Bucks fan who lives in Jersey, I can honestly say I was impressed by Kidd's development as a coach. And, as a Bucks fan who is completely confused and disheveled and suddenly very emotional and suddenly putting kittens in microwaves (inexplicably, wtf just happened!?! Jason Kidd...head of basketball ops...kitten in the microwave...jason kidd...kitten...zap)...I can honestly say, I am just beyond grateful we're not hearing anything about this man:

SO, I'm just gonna roll with it. Everything is fine. Finkel is Einhorn.

Ah, well then screw it. Keep him under contract. Just force him to coach the team unless Milwaukee gives us compensation. IDC what kind of locker room issues it causes. It would be absolutely hilarious to watch.
