The Bucks and Jason Kidd

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

Has anyone else been following this situation? This reflects so poorly on both the Bucks new owners and Jason Kidd... I had high hopes that the new owners would bring the Bucks back to some sort of respectability and that we would no longer be the joke of the NBA... however this situation pretty much flushes those hopes, this is so typical of something the last regime would have done...frustrating because I felt like drafting Parker and the marketing they did around that finally generated a little bit of buzz...

I don't think it looks that bad on the Bucks. The owner wants his guy in.

Nah, it looks like a joke. Kidd is not worth a 1st round pick and has a lot of off-court baggage.

He has every right to do that, but I think he will regret it.

It certainly doesn't reflect well on Kidd. He looks like an a$$ IMO. The Nets take a risk on him with zero HC experience not to mention having to deal with his DWI situation along with his sometimes checkered past and he then wants total control of the Nets in his second season. Admittedly, his coaching improved as the season went on, but IMO he doesn't need anymore on his plate other than coaching. And to give up a draft pick(s) is crazy. When did he become John Wooden?

Wasn't Drew a former assistant with him as well? Nice way to kick him to the curb.

Seems like he is running away from something instead of running towards something - sound familiar?

I wonder what Jabari Parker is thinking.

They can have their guy, but this looks horribly bad on the Bucks organization the way it was done and handled. No way Hammond sticks around after this was done. Can't sugar coat it, this was a really poor way to do this. Embarrassingly poor.

I don't understand why they just didn't fire Drew in the first place.

That certainly would have been the proper way to handle it.

I agree, and really everyone would understand. New owner wants a clean start from a coaching standpoint.

What a weird thing to do, trade for a coach without firing the current coach. And Kidd too, you want to trade for a coach I could think of plenty others before Jason Kidd.

Without question.
