The Bucks, a rebuilding team, would be absolute morons to give up a first rounder.

- So when does Broussard show up and tell us about how his sources are on this story when he's literally just reading this thread?
- A player, a coach, and a team president in the span of a little more than a year...watch your job, Adam Silver.
- Jason Kidd is taking going to be a head coach and taking over basketball operations in the a city known as "The Beer Capital Of The World". For everyone's safety, I advise everyone to stay indoors.
- Wow, so Joumana Kidd really was the sane one of that relationship. (Thinks) No, that :censored: was crazy.
- Does Kidd having a fan spill beer on the court get Kidd fined too? What if he cleans it up himself by drinking it off the floor?
- A coach (Kidd) is a coach killer (Drew).


Are you trying to forget the fact that a year's worth of improvement has just been **** ed right up the ass?

I guess whatever helps Net fans cope. This is the worst possible situation


No, it really isn't. If this happened during training camp or preseason then I would agree.


:roll: right. Talk to me in two weeks, when the fall out from this leaves King and the Russians scrambling

Two years, 3 coaches. Not good. You'd better pray that Lopez's foot becomes laced with adamantium and Deron can be bothered to hop on a treadmill within the next 4 months

Some Net fans on here are lying to themselves thinking that this will end well and that's what we'll get.

Crazy story but not surprising.

Kidd told Cuban two years ago he was staying in Dallas and then signs with the Knicks the next day.

He doesn't give a hoot about anyone's perceptions or loyalties.

And with the Nets in their current situation he had a good fallback plan to the Bucks and the roster flexibility that exists there.

This has nothing to do with our roster situation. He wanted more money and power without caring that it requires backstabbing the man who helped you get the head coaching job.

In terms our situation, the Nets have been positioning themselves for the Durant sweepstakes with pure cap room similar to Miami right now. He had an golden opportunity to elevate himself to a good coach before the 2015/2016 free agent sweepstakes which is alot easier to do than build a franchise like Milwaukee into a contender. It's all about money, power and ego with him.

He really has no morals or ethics as a man.

Carlstrodamus, please tell me is Melo leaving the Knicks and, if so, who will Phil get to replace him in 2015?

Also, could you please give me a good stock tip?

Thank you.

What positive identity have you preached about this team since Deron's been here?

I know you;re excited that RealGM got put on the map with carl's random post


If this were true, I would've been happy the night/morning Dwight Howard opted in because RealGM broke the news and was on the ESPN ticker.

Keep dreaming if you think that Billy King, a dude who gave up several first rounders for washed up players, will wrangle a first rounder from the Bucks.


I've already joked on this and know what kind of idiot Billy King is.

Carl, do you or your sources have any insight on how the Russians feel about Billy King? Do they care that the team is so loaded with salary and has no picks? Or are they happy with the job King is doing?

Also, is Prokhorov actively seeking an exit or is he just casually fielding offers?

Just curious. Thanks.

This is all so shocking to me. Jason Kidd made me a Nets fan in 2001, and was my favorite player growing up, but seriously....**** him. Can't believe this ****.

He's been trying to post this since Thursday but apparently his ISH has been down since then. :eek1: :eek2:

From NBA front offices stealing trade ideas to this, seems like RealGM is more relevant then we think.
