No interest in Blatt. Mild interest in Monty and Mike Brown. Curious interest in Chris Finch, Ime Udoka and Chris Fleming. Solid interest in Fiz and Messina. Would be excited with Carlisle.

At minimum, hopefully this is the end of directing 2 members of the lengthiest team in the world to the same spot on the floor and completely negating the advantage of being able to cover more area than previously imaginable.

The constant, unnecessary doubling was all the proof anyone ever needed that Kidd didn't have the mental capacity to properly use his players and their talents.

I know I'm in on Fiz but it is also true that I don't know if he's the best guy for the job. Would love to sit in on the interviews. Have heard a lot of good things about Jarron Collins, and remember we have established organizational interest in Becky Hammon. Obviously tons and tons of candidates will be champing at the bit to coach Giannis. I get waiting.

Oh god... what did they say?

I didn't even watch it yet, but I guarantee you it was something like "Kidd's supposed to be a good coach, right? Bucks have been pretty good this season. I don't get this..it's on the players. These entitled millennials won't take responsibility...etc etc."

It's what you'd glean from 30 seconds of reading about the Bucks before the broadcast began.

Congrats guys, he was the worst coach in the league IMO for wasting a super talent like Giannis with terrible coaching. That special defense he ran was so pathetic, cringed every time I saw it.

If I'm you guys I hire David Blatt.

Woj was just on SportsCenter and claimed Horst will be able to make his own hire. Woj mentioned Monty Williams and James Borrego as potential candidates.

Woj mentioned James Borrego on ESPN

I like college coaches who utilize an NBA system and win consistently without great recruiting (Brad Stevens). I don't think Bennett's pack-line defensive system would translate to the next level.

I'd be down for any of Borrego, Hammon or Messina. I'd even consider Udoka.

These are some very uninspiring candidates I’m hearing the bucks are interested in

How would giannis take to a female coach? This would probably come off bad, but I know a ton of Europeans from playing soccer, and while i wouldn’t say they are sexist, I’d have a hard time believing they’d listen to a female tell them what to do. It’s the culture I’ve been told

Monty and Borrego are both Spurs guys, seems like an encouraging direction versus just a name

Prunty was a spurs guy and the architect of our awful defensive scheme
