It’s a done deal imo

Hope he hires good assistants

Plus he’s worked with Rick Brunson so that’s probably another factor

Giannis brought a chip to the Bucks and resigned with them giving them a chance. There could be a gentleman's agreement between the Bucks and Giannis to allow him to go to a tema of his choice. Not to mention, the league is clear influencing these key moves-especially after
they signed all of these multi billion dollar network deals. Maybe that why they steered Indy into the finals. Just my opinion...

This is a good point.

Giannis did right by the Bucks. They will reciprocate; especially when its in the best interest of the league. We had a SEA of fans around MSG when we clinch the ECF birth :lol:
Giannis...come on down 8-)

It'll be a pretty smooth transition for me to go from hating Thibs to hating Kidd.

Kudos for the continuity.

Another year of Rick Brunson glowering at people from the bench?

Ok, I wasn't into this hiring before, but I'm all in now.

not the Rose's style to have so many rumors about these intentions.

Nowadays coaches get hired for relationship rather than x and o’s.

It’s the sad reality.

And like Bill Simmons said, the longest tenured coaches last around 5-6 years before they wear thin. It’s the new age of player in the NBA. Soft primadonnas who need to be catered to.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

That was clearly fixed by the league. An unwritten part of that deal was the #1 pick.

That's not a recent trend unfortunately. Larry Bird was talking about this like 20 years ago.

If Kidd doesn't have this offense looking high octane I will be right there with ya

It feels so awkward that he's coming here. I really don't like the guy :lol:

Just pray that he stays away from the Hamptons and goes easy on the booze
