Wow.. Smh

I’d love to ask Larry Drew what does he think about Buck’s new owners.

This guy is like a child. He has to be one of the most annoing people in the NBA right now. He just did a shitty job coaching the nets who by all accounts are more talented than the Bucks. I know he is friends with the owners but what could he have possibly seen in Jason Kidd last year that made him think that he could coach an up and coming team with this much you, turmoil and inexperience?

every place kidd left as a player and now coach,he ticked off alot of people when he left….

with kidd gone,maybe the nets can wash their hands with the other major disappointing signing they made last season..letting pierce walk and trading kg,who still might bring them a draft pick…

I loved watching Jason Kidd as a player, but he has just never grown up. Off the court the guy is a jerk. He had a decent year when you consider the decline of some of his players and injuries to Lopez, especially for year one, but I don’t think you are in a great position to make demands like this when you haven’t done anything and have only done it for a year. He better hope he does well with the Bucks or he may never land another job. 

As for the owners of the Bucks, they are likely scum as well. It proves that class cannot be bought. All the money and resources they have and they don’t have enough class to say anything to the current coach and staff.

 Larry Drew is not a top notch head coach. Kidd has potential and a name. F*** Larry Drew’s feelings, he’s a grown man and will find other employment. In the famous words of Stringer Bell, "It’s not personal. Just business." And how about the Bucks? To begin the season, it looked like they might be headed out the door. Now, they sold $550mil, will eventually get a new stadium, the Greek Freak turned out to be an incredible pick and now they bring in Jabari and J Kidd. Quite a turn around if you ask me.

Jason Kidd, the corporate goon. Who would’ve thought? These point guards man, control freaks let me tell ya’.

 That the Owners have no allegiance or the decency to notify their staff of change? That they’re gonna do whatever they want without consulting their Bball ppl? That Kidd could fing himself in this position sometime in the future if he loses favor with the owners, what comes around goes around. Im sure there is a some instability and insecurity all along the organizations front office now because of what the owners did. These new owners might be seen as heartless bullies now.

Rick Carlisle, is the Coaches Union head, and they say he’s a coaches coach type of guy. He and the other coaches might blackball Kidd for going after another coaches job without the decency of personal notification. Kidd might be hated by the other coaches and GM’s now for this. His reputation takes a big hit. Basketball-wise, Kidd is probably best able to mentor a young PG to be better, that may mean a better Brandon Knight next year.

It just seems real snake-like to go after the job of another colleague without their permission/blessing. Im sure his colleagues have taken notice. If it doens’t work out here, will Kidd be given another shot based off of his antics in getting this one?

"But multiple sources insist the maneuvering started during the fraught months of December and January, and that Kidd did not open the game by asking for the top front-office job. Kidd during that period approached ownership with concerns about King’s job performance, sources say — King’s commitment, leadership, and vision for the future. Kidd suggested the organization might hire an outsider for a front-office job above King, sources say. Kidd even wondered if ownership had a basketball guy in Russia who might come to Brooklyn and take on a more activist role above King.

Kidd did not pitch himself for the job — not at first, anyway. Those initial discussions went nowhere, though not everyone involved agrees on the timing and tenor of those talks. King is well liked in Brooklyn, and has followed ownership edicts in dealing away just about every future asset possible to win immediately. The Bucks sought permission to talk to Kidd earlier this month, presumably about their head coaching job, and when the Nets were slow to respond, Kidd and his team began agitating for Kidd himself to assume the double perch, sources say."

Seriously tho, how the hell does billy king still have a job. His lips must be made out of pure heavenlyness for purposes of kissing below the waist. No one would have traded all that he traded to get a washed up KG and Pierce last year. He’s definitely one of the worst GM’s of all time.

Jason Kidd is a real piece of work, people always defend him on this site.  He just did the #1 rule coaches aren’t supposed to do for coaches looking for a job and that is you never pursue a job that a coach still has. He is going to get NO LOVE from the coaches association, especially including the Lawrenece Frank move. Milwauckee you just added a lot more useless drama, enjoy it.

By the way, after this one and the Lawrence Frank-gate, I’m pretty sure that, if Kidd fails as a head coach and lose his job, I’m pretty sure other coaches won’t be lining up to offer him a job as an assistant.

Teams are pissed and are going to be very reluctant to make deals or help out Milwaukee in any way whatsoever after these shady dealings. 

I hope Brooklyn files for tampering and Adam Silver continue’s his no nonsense approach and somehow finds away to punish Milwaukee for this. 

Also, did Jason Kidd really improve as a coach or did Brooklyn (old but talented) simply gets wins against a pathetic Eastern Conference as the season went on?

Good points about the actual coaching aspect. 

I just saw a report that execs. around the league are pretty upset with how they handled everything. That could change with the more info that comes out but all indications right now are that they didn’t follow protocol. I wasn’t saying help them w trades, just helping them in any general way. 

Brooklyn did have leverage with Milwaukee. Was there another team that was Kidd was friends with the owner who happened to be offering him the title President of Basketall Operations/Head Coach. If so, that is even more leverage to hold out for a 1st round pick. I understand they just wanted this situation to be over with but not getting that 1st is stupid.

 Not a fan at all about how the new ownership treated Larry Drew. That’s ridiculous.

The bucks are still in the early stages of their rebuild.  They aren’t going to get big name free agents, the only way they can build a contender is through the draft.  No way in hell they are giving up a first rounder for a coach.

 I lie to you all not, I wanted Mayo’s bad contract in return for Kidd. I look at it this way, KG is out the door and Pierce is soon to follow, so why not take the gamble on a younger player even though he’s slowly fading. Seems to me that picking up bad contracts wouldn’t mean anything to Prokhorov anyway, because all he wants to do is stack the roster.
