The owners should take a beating for this. Not because they would want Jason Kidd as coach, but the way they handled the process. They are owners, this is not fantasy league GM.
I liked everything the owners said and did up until this move. Herb Kohl had been criticized through the years of meddling and getting too involved in basketball decisions. I was a critic of him as well. However, Marc Lasry and Wes Edens have already trumped anything Kohl ever did. The fact that GM John Hammond, assistant GM David Morway and Dave Babcock knew nothing about this and the owners pursued this secretly on their own....not good.
Jason Kidd had plenty of talent in Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, KG and Paul Pierce and was nearly fired last season. He was a great player but the jury is out on his coaching abilities.
