Jason Kidd granted permission to speak with Bucks after being denied promotion by Nets

[DJ Fieri]

Jason Kidd makes Doc Rivers look like a Saint.

Poor Larry Drew....smdh

 

[GNG]

Yes, but they have an overrated douche of a coach now. Kidd certainly could turn out to be an amazing coach down the line. But the shit he's pulling right now, you'd swear he had a resume similar to Phil Jackson's.

My question is will Kidd be the Buck's new head coach or their new GM.

I would imagine both.

 

[Otis B. Driftwood]

Eassssssssst Siiiiiiiiiiiiider!

Looks like it's a done deal now.

Two second rounders was the agreed upon compensation.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Poor Larry Drew but don't pity Buck's fans. They got the best player in the 2014 NBA draft.

Yeah, I agree GnG.

Parker was the perfect pick and he actually WANTS to be there.

My only issue with this situation is Larry Drew.

But, Coaches are hired and fired every day and he still gets his check.

I want to hate on Kidd. But, that would be hypocritical seeing as though I love Doc and Riley and they essentially did the same thing.

But, they had experience and rings * as a coach *on their side.


In 1995, after four years of near-idolatry in New York, Riley walked out on the Knicks for a better deal in Miami, including control over personnel and a 10 percent ownership stake. Riley was naturally vilified in New York, hectored by one tabloid as Pat the Rat.

Upon departing, Riley said: “I do not believe that any team can realize its potential when its head coach, the person most intimately involved with the players, cannot make final, critical decisions on matters bearing directly and intensely on the team, its performance and its future.”

Otis!!!

Good luck in Free Agency Tomorrow.

The Mavs might not land the big fish.

But, I bet they reel in a few good players.

With the Chandler acquisition, our Monroe dream has died.

Deng or Ariza and Avery Bradley?

Maybe Rondo in a trade?

 

[redseat]

Jason Kidd should be kissing the Nets rears for even giving him the coaching job in the first place!

First - WELCOME!!!


I'm starting to lean toward Ariza. Read this on Twitter this morning and thought you would find it informative.

Larry Drew guided the Bucks to their worst record in the history of the franchise. If I totally sucked at my job then I would deserve to be fired. While I can empathize with Drew he should have known that the hook was coming.

There is no such thing as loyalty in the NBA. If there was then LeBron James would have stayed in Cleveland.

I would welcome a trade that brings Rondo to the Mavs.

What do you think?

Hmmmm, I keep forgetting about Parsons.

I like him or Ariza for the Mavs.

I'm not high on Round-Shoulders- Ray Felton or Devin Harris.

Maybe Ledo will get some burn or Monta might need to run the point.

Wonder if the Mavs would have interest in Jameer Nelson now that he's been released?

Maybe they can steal Eric Bledsoe?

With 30 plus mil in cap space, they have many options.

For fucks sake. Lebron was a free agent. Stop with this whole traitor thing already.

Everything I read and hear so far says that Carlisle is VERY confident he and Felton will work together just fine. People forget that Monta came in with a reputation as a bit of a head case. Coach loves him and he loves Coach.

Helps to have one of the best coaches in the league. It matters to some players.

I know there isn't but Kidd really should be thanking the lucky stars he got a shot at a coaching job and shouldn't have pushed it any further until he actually achieved something while coaching.

Maybe the Nets promised him either a pay increase or an expanding role in personnel decisions when they signed him. We don't know the whole story.

Agreed. The Bucks continue their slide into the abyss.

True that.

You have a great Coach.

Remember how much I DESPISED DeAndre Jordan before Doc became Coach?

It is amazing what can happen when a guy buys into the Coach's system.

Jordan is still a turd on offense.

But, he led the NBA in boards and was top 5 in blocks.

You think there's a guy out there that can help turn Soft-helmet Hibberts game around?

That may be a bit much for any coach to achieve.
