Could be an attractive position this offseason.
Maybe they'll bring back Larry Drew.
Definitely the top open spot. Giannis signed long term. HC's around the league are probably figuring out how to get to Milwaukee.
This seemed to be coming for a while now. Initially, I liked the Kidd hire thinking he would bring credibility and be able to attract players to Milwaukee. Giannis is now the "face of the franchise" to attract players and Kidd became expendable. Never thought Kidd was a good in-game coach and always seemed to have a laissez-faire attitude during games.
How about Mark Jackson?

I always liked Mark Jackson. He would certainly be available immediately. Monty Williams is currently on the Spurs staff, which is a great organization to learn from. Williams was also HC of the Pelicans for 5 years. There were high expectations for this season, so I can't imagine they would not have a plan in place upon letting Kidd go.Originally Posted by Jim Ganzer, "IWB"
They just fired Mark Jackson II.
Agreed, living out here in GSW territory, the comparisons are warranted, the X's and O's are so basic, pick and roll, 2 man game. Did not get along with admin. Curry, Thompson loved him. To turn over the keys to a Mercedes, you got to hire someone that can handle it....based on the past, Mark Jackson won't be able to handle it.
Sounds like Kidd's strong relationship with ownership (Marc Lasry specifically) had deteriorated. Giannis is supposedly devastated but there are rumors that Kidd and Parker barely talked. Speculation that Kidd was pushing a trade of Parker (for DeAndre Jordan?).

Monty Williams, David Fizdale are a couple names.
