If we get Jenkins, we are fortunate. If we get Brown, we are fortunate.

Kidd is a slick one. If he wants out of Dallas, for whatever reason, he'll find a way and Leon will pave the path.

You know if we hire him, we have to show that we did a real coaching search in the meantime or Dallas will cry collusion again. The going rate to get Kidd will be something like two 2nd rounders based on history.

Getting Kidd and then throwing the bag at Bryant to be the lead assistant would be a great outcome IMO.

I've defended Brown in here but, I truly don't think any of the names mentioned so far get the job IMO.

I have a sneaky feeling it's someone from the college ranks who they really like, but don't want to blow up their spot and cause issues with their NIL donors

I think it's Kidd. They talked back channel. Asked to speak to him. Sent out the smoke screens to other teams. Now we wait.

I don't see Dallas playing ball at all.

They had him visiting Flagg yesterday according to Stein.

I'm ruling it out officially I think

We'll probably keep hearing wind until the ink is dry on his extension but I agree. It's just noise.

Dream? I like that he weaseled out before even showing up this time. 'Round these parts we used to call that "Fake Hustle."

We should hire Thanasis Antetekoumpo. Keep Rick as an assistant. Just make this a family affair.

Sounds like people here complaining about Thibs. Just replace Dillon Brooks with Josh Hart and putting Jah in late witha big lead with JB.

HAving said that, Griz have had an offensive identity, and I think she overestimates their talent.

She literally complained about how Jenkins would put Ja Morant back in the game down 11 with 4 minutes left in the game. As soon as she said that, I stopped the video. The girl Knows nothing about NBA basketball. :nonono:
