Also keep hearing that a big stickler for the Nets vets with Kidd is that he doesn't wotk hard. Like a Steve Spurrier/Redskins situation.

PS: Nets will fire Billy King before they fire Kidd. He's the one who hired Kidd and made all these trades. Kidd will be no. 2 fall guy.

I heard billy king didn't actually want kidd initially. I think he listened to prokolov and hired kidd because of him. If king gets fired it won't be because of the kidd hire.

It starts at the top. Prok had a massive hard on for "winning now" and it came to bite him in the ass financially.

Can't believe nikkas actually thought this team was going to be good :heh:

From jump I thought hiring J Kidd was more of a publicity thing, to get more eyes on the 2nd team in NYC than anything else. They couldn't have possibly thought son was gonna come in with no coaching experience and coach a bunch of old nikkas to greatness? Could they? :dwillhuh:

the low end. southside chi
they probably thought kidd would have a seemless transition like mark jackson did in GSW. I thought that hiring was stupid at the time as well before the warriors did it cuz jackson had no experience either :yeshrug:

They really can't though because they gave all their picks away. You can't have your franchise playing for other teams' lottery picks for the next six years. :heh:
they have no cap room and an old and bad basketball team.

They gonna be bad. May as well see if Kidd has a future, imo. Id give him two years but at least let him coach out the year and see if he can be a good coach. This season is completely lost, and there isnt much upside.

Major difference is Mark Jackson was years removed from the game and was an analyst which helped on his x's and o's.

Serves the Nets right for making a stupid and not BOLD hire. Dudes been waiting in the wing for years to head a team and give it to dude who just retired. He isn't Bill Russell.

Why is this stinking @ss franchise residing in my boro and not in the Swamps of New Jerooz where they belong? I can't wait for this experiment to be deemed a colossal failure (like the rest of that franchise's existence) and they head home where they belong.

Knicks stink enough for all 5 boros. The stench of the BK Nets is superfluous.

Please Nets, ya'll will suck until Armageddon, so take a look to your small market across the river and :camby:outta BK. There you can operate properly as the small market sh!t-box ya'll are destined to be.

kidds not gonna get fired this season. I think the franchise knows that this season is over and they're just gonna ride with it, fire him after the season is over, then try to do something else

billy king is the one that needs to be fired though. That guy has no idea on how to build a good basketball team
