no doubt that he was a scapegoat for much larger issues, Steve Clifford came in and that team went south quickly. Borrego had them respectable. I'd prefer him in a lead assistant role tho. I want your guy Mike Brown :lol:

Mike brown!!???

:lol:

I get why you're interested in him. But idk, I just feel like he is very meh. He hasn't been successful in the playoffs without Lebron.


not much opportunity post Lebron. In Sacramento, he did a great job just to make the playoffs and end the drought. the Lakers stint Yr 1 was not a great roster and he still went to Conf. Semi's. but I consider him a new coach post his assistant years w/ GS

Ima have to pass.. but if he's here i'll hope for the best

I was ok with the process not taking 24 hours as some were critical of the Knicks about it not happening that way but I'm kind over all this now...just hire someone already.

Bondy reads this sight! This is the first mention of Kidd wanting to work on a new extension(which he still doesn't say) since this all started. People kept saying he needs an extension which wasn't true. Then a half hour after I mention that...Bondy adds it to his "reporting"

I’m firmly in the Bryant camp. Don’t want Kidd or retreads like Brown or Malone.
Trust but verify.

I think it’s all pretty obvious Kidd wants that extension and the Mavs don’t want to do another one. I look at it as him taxing them for the Luka Fiasco where he stayed loyal and as I said before for Kidd being loyal isn’t free.

No. It's not being reported that Kidd wants to rework his extension. It's being reported that they haven't given him an extension. There's a big difference. He already has an extension and no one has reported that at all. They just keep talking about the extension like he doesn't have one.

It has never been mentioned that he wanted a new extension at all. Then, since we asked permission, it has been "reported" that Dallas has to give him an extension. No. They don't. Unless he says rework it or I leave. Nowhere has that been said at all.

This whole situation is annoying as fuq.

You're misreading something. It's not worth the keystrokes anymore. Kidd already has an extension. Whatever has been reported is just lazy speculation.

I’ll be honest I am not surprised.

Your assertion is that it’s lazy reporting and you don’t believe it but he’s literally reporting it.

No. You are not following the conversation. It's all good, Bondy reads this board is where the conversation starts.

NO ONE has reported that Kidd wanted a NEW extension at all. People kept saying Dallas has to give him an extension. No they don't. He already has one. At no point since Luka was traded was there any talk about Kidd or an extension at all. When we asked for permission, people kept taking like Kidd was DUE an extension. He is not. He already has one. After I commented on this fact, in response to a Bondy tweet, SUDDENLY Bondy is saying Kidd is angling for an extension. Not even a NEW extension. When did he get that news? Where was it reported that Kidd wants a NEW extension? It wasn't. It's like he read this board and is changing up his reporting on it

It wasn't that serious but, there it is. :lol:

Marc Stein mentioned it like a week ago. It wasn’t just Bondy.

Also, check your tone. No reason to get worked up over this.
