There is zero percent chance we went into this without knowing who was next up. Zero. That’s just not how Leon operates.

Even if there's some backdoor agreement between Knicks/Giannis/Kidd

Knicks already kissed that possibility goodbye when they gave up all their firsts for Bridges. Fax.

Trying to read between the tea leaves. If Kidd is one of the guys they would like...he has coached Giannis and had a really good relationship with him. That is just connecting the dots.

If its not coaching related since they are talking about that its gotta be player related...

Giannis going through back channels to hire Kidd before he demands to go to the Knicks only? A bit of a reach but then again who knows.

they only said that a member of the FO reached out to his agent...that doesn't mean they didn't cast like 20 nets and they only got like info on one specifically.

No Malone and no Ime because rockets aren't moving on him is the biggest news so far.

feels like this is the main thesis for getting Kidd

Ground work information? I thought there was a potential bombshell looming? Unless it’s ground work paving the way for a bombshell…?

I mean if you want Giannis KAT with him makes the most sense for spacing.

So OG and Mikal would have to be going out.
