we have no idea about what the nature of that relationship is. this hasn't been the first time ive gotten the sense theres a little too much "fanboism" going on in our ownership group.
According to reports, Lasry at one time was Kidd's financial advisor.

Being a HC in no way relates to it? Being such a great cerebral player doesn't give him any insight into the game of basketball?
Has kidd ever worked a trade deadline fetching offers and making offers?
He's sat in on two drafts, one draft in 2013 where he couldn't of done any previous work since he was hired 10 days before the draft.
He's never hired a HC or GM
Does he actually know how to scout draft prospects and how they project?
What he has done is piss off his current organization enough that they want him to leave, and he can't even do that quietly without everyone knowing it. Oh yea he also pissed off his top assistant enough to banish him from the team, oh ya after he gave Frank a 6 year deal for a freaking assistant.

We all do it here on RealGM every draft and trade deadline, doesn't seem to hard. We all seem to value our opinions on those matters despite having no qualifications. Who would you rather have negotiate a trade, John Hammond, Herb Kohl, or Jason Kidd? I imagine this is where "having balls" comes most in play. Not being a push over is a huge plus in my book. Lets not pretend like Kidd is going to running this entire team completely solo either.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

No players can be traded, so I hate to burst your bubble, but uh...
Thats a legal trade by itself, so it can be easily done as compensation if kidd is released per that agreement.

do you realize how stupid you have to be to make scores like this? I mean like borderlike mentally handicapped.... unbelieveable.
Explain it to me someone, these numbers mean nothing to us foreign types.
It's a standardized test for college admissions. Those are incredibly low scores. Don't know what it was like back then but the new one has a scoring range of 600-2400 in 10 point increments. Those would be some of the lowest scores one could possibly get I'm guessing.

yeah tell me more about the stupidity of a multi-millionaire who is about to get his next job because of his close relationship with a billionaire.
