2/2

Kidd took washed up Nets to second round

Kidd took the Bucks to the first round

Yeah but he's a grimey piece a shyt.. Which is why he about to get clipped

Could have learned last year or earlier this season, instead Kidd just stuck it out with MCW cause he reminds him of himself. And those reports of the Bucks being interested in Rubio, that's all Kidd, dude didn't learn from the MCW debacle.

Last year with Brandon Knight?


Jason Kidd, who arrived as Milwaukee's coach after Antetokounmpo's rookie season, was able to see what Hammond had seen. "When I came, we all talked about him playing point guard,'' Kidd said. "Maybe we all wanted it to happen then, but he wasn't ready

 

[Timeis$]

If Kidd himself were to suit up, even at his age, for them at point guard they'd be back in the playoffs this season.

That said, Kidd is a very good coach but he probably doesn't need to be making personnel decisions. Then again, it's only his third season coaching overall (with no prior experience) and his second in Milwaukee, and he certainly overachieved with this team last season, and with the improvements of Giannis and Jabari this season you gotta let Kidd coach this team next season.

It's pretty clear he rubs a lot of people in ownership/management the wrong way on a non-basketball level though.

I always forget did Brooklyn want him to leave as a coach or did he just jump ship to Milwaukee because he saw that as a better opportunity?

 

[MikelArteta]

I'm just kidding like Jason....

 

[MikelArteta]

He jumped ship

They should have done it when they had Knight, that was the perfect opportunity since Knight is more of an SG than he is a PG. Also, how do you develop at something if you coach never gives you reps? Just saying he wasn't ready is pointless since it took injuries for the coach to even try it, he never got reps with the 2nd unit or playing Point Forward in blowouts, there were no plays where he got the ball and created.

Kawhi wasn't ready to be a featured scorer, but the Spurs still ran plays for him and had the offense go through him at times over the last few years. Giannis playing on the ball happened by sheer luck, if a better coach had him you would have seen sets or plays where Giannis was getting reps to do this, it wouldn't take all your PGs getting hurt for it to happen.

Dude is a 3rd year coach and he took his team to the playoffs 2 out of those 3 years. I think it's silly for a team like Milwaukee to jettison a coach because they don't like him as a person. I mean unless they are getting This this firing makes no sense. I bet he gets hired by Sacramento.

Giannis played PG in the 2014 Summer League, he failed

 

[street heat]

It's getting ridiculous how quick they are getting rid of coaches in the nba.

 

[Malta]

Giannis played PG in the 2014 Summer League, he failed

You're talking about summer league

Do you know how many good young players looked bad in Summer league? He needed game reps, judging someone based on 2 weeks of summer league ball and not revisiting it is why Kidd is on the hot seat Owners looking around now like "Damn, we had that on the squad all along?"

2/2

Kidd took the Bucks to the first round

The Nets team that was supposed to be ECF contenders with all the money we spent

And a Bucks team that went 41-41 in a shyt East, then shyt the bed the next season

Yeah, Kidd's a coaching savant clearly, making magic happen

He just jumped ship. He wanted more control and Milwaukee gave it to him.

1.Jason kidd went to the 2nd rd of tthe playoffs in 2014 with an old ass kevin garnett,a past his prime D.Williams(missed 24 games) and B.Lopez missing 65 games.

2.Jason kidd took the Bucks to the playoffs in his first season despite losing Sanders & Parker for the year.

Give this man an opportunity to coach a healthy basketball team.

 

[Darealtwo1]

trade a pg shooting 44% from the field and 41% from 3 on 18ppg for a 6'6 pg who can't shoot at all brehs.

Washed up Pierce and KG, D Will hitting more needles than heroin user to stay healthy, Nets were not going to pick up Shaun Livinston
