Purposely played like trash during the Knicks series against the Pacers, so that the Knicks would be eliminated and he could get the Nets' job.

Everything seems consistent with that reporting and I doubt they would be doing it if they didn't know Kidd had mutual interest.


It’s clear bke source is Brooke rose(Leon’s Daughter)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything bke has said has come to fruition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately it seems to be the case with his jkidd info since mage mentioned Kidd way before anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That's why he's usually never wrong pleighboi!!!!



If we are going by BKE...he said his biggest bombshell he couldn't mention yet...

if your reading tea leaves...he obviously broke the interest in Kidd...and if you connect the dots...with this being a season with big potential player moves...and the connection to Giannis with Kidd...you have to start putting two and two together.

Now I don't know how it gets done but this is what he was clearly hinting at but he couldn't say that news yet...he said he could probably say something in a couple weeks...

I don't think he's going to do much to change the offense. The team isn't going anywhere if they don't at least become a dominant offensive unit. I feel like it's going to be the same **** for the most part. Iso heavy, slow paced, no ingenuity.


Kidd is probably way more open to the idea of an offensive architect (like bringing in Borrego) than Thibs ever was though.


Borrego an associate head coach with the Pelicans.

Then again, Bryant went from associate coach with the Knicks to associate coach with the Cavs and Knicks didn't stop him or ask for assets.

Stein

The New York Knicks are expected to formally request permission to speak to the Dallas Mavericks' Jason Kidd about their coaching vacancy in coming days, league sources say.

As The Stein Line first reported Tuesday night, New York has interest in hiring Kidd after firing Tom Thibodeau earlier this week. That interest has since been described by league sources as serious.

A precise hierarchy of potential Knicks targets to replace Thibodeau has yet to emerge, but some in league coaching circles believe that Kidd — who gave Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson his first role of prominence

This is the Kidd/Brunson connection, so called:


Jason Kidd coached the Dallas Mavericks for 4 seasons (2021-22 to 2024-25), and Jalen Brunson played with the Mavericks for 4 seasons (2019-20 to 2021-22). Brunson's last season with the Mavericks, the 2021-22 season, was also Kidd's first season as their coach. Therefore, they overlapped for 1 season.

Yep.

Dude faked a migraine to get outta New Jersey (and I don't blame him honestly, the team was being stripped for its parts).

He bailed on the Knicks when he was still a player to get the Brooklyn job

He then tried to stage a mutiny and take Billy King's job, because he knew King was a moron. Ended up hauling ass to Milwaukee.

So on, so forth.

That's the thing about Kidd. He's gonna be a professional and give you A+ effort no matter what.

But when it's time, and he sees a way out or a better opportunity, he will run for the exit.

I've read/heard (yt vids, etc.) Thibs didn't have the team practice much. So how could he properly evaluate the rookies, etc. ? (Kolek, Huk, Dad)? Anyone else see this in the wake of the firing?

In 2014, the Brooklyn Nets traded Jason Kidd's coaching rights to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for two second-round draft picks. The Nets received a 2015 second-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick. This move allowed Kidd to become the Bucks' head coach.


If Bryant was the #1 clear cut candidate, He'd be our coach already. The fact that it is quiet on that front gives yet another reason why to think Kidd is very much our top target.

This is not without precedent either. Right now we are probably going back and worth with Dallas on compensation. If there is bad blood, they are probably currently asking for way more than necessary. Back then it was 2 2nds. Lets see what it will be now. Hopefully no more than 3 2nds....

Then if/when he is on board, we may start hearing the rumblings about Giannis wanting to come here.
