he sounds young enough where I think they clearly are friends with either dolan's son or someone Leon or WWW knows...they know enough to relay the info that they canned thibs ahead of time and they know enough to say someone form the FO reached out to Kidd's agent.

So my guess to keep feeding information they basically are told to STFU until they are allowed break some news. Obviously he's getting some information but its not coming from Dolan/Leon/WWW directly chances are its coming from there children 2nd hand...ect.


Bke is extremely close with Brooke rose(Leon’s daughter)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s hosted numerous watch parties/fundraisers with her as the cohost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that’s probably his source!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like $208 mil next year. Basically it would be by far the dumbest move we could possibly do, which makes me confident they're going to try to pull it off.


i don't think they have a shot at him anyway. there will be offers so much better than what we can give up. we won't even be competitive.

When I get players say they hate Thibs what I hear is they don't like the grind. According to the Athletic he's the coach guys want to play for least and half the league wouldn't want to play for him. That's the half you don't want on your team.

That what makes thibs a great floor raiser. And kudos to him for creating a sustainable winning culture.

But there are legit concerns about him being able to adjust, experiment, manipulate lineups/coverages ect when it matters most.

KFTV's CP seems to think Bryant is the front-runner so let's see who's right unless the situation is fluid... I'm sure Leon has a plan A through Z for all of this.

Re: Rick Brunson... yeah, let's let him go with Thibs. Brunson needs to re-focus on the new coach's directions... not his dad.

He’s gotta go.

He’s a Thibs loyalist.

Brunson doesn’t need his daddy in the sidelines. **** is kinda corny, not gonna lie. Just play. You don’t have your dad in Dallas. Let him just work as a scout or some ****. Stay off the bench.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Or perhaps they simply prioritize staying in peak condition throughout the season to extend their careers, ensuring they're fresh for the playoffs. And maybe they'd rather play under a modern NBA coach who motivates them with something beyond mean mugging them every waking moment.
