Interviewing him is good PR for the Nets.

Question to all: Would you want Kidd to be an assistant coach with the Knicks if the opportunity arose. No arguments that he would replace Woodson, as I think that is very improbable.


Hell no, especially when there is so many qualified coaches that are unemployed or doing TV..

Those coaches are not looking to be assistants. I wouldn't mind it. I don't think there is a limit on the coaches you can have so why not.

Many assistant coaches apply for head coaching positions. A few get the opportunity, but most don't. Ewing keeps applying for a head coaching job. He hasn't gotten one and so he stays as an assistant.

This confirms it for me...he signed here to reconnect back with his East Coast contacts and he was planning his basketball life post player for some time now.

Kidd may have checked out in January of this year. If he lands a coaching gig then it pretty much makes up for the remaining 2yrs he forfeited on his contract from us.


WE GOT KIDD AND PLAYED ALL THE WAY TO THE I'M RETIRING PROKY BANK!!!!!

I wonder if him getting a coaching job affects the Knicks settlement to him and cap ramifications....

I give J Kidd a lot of credit. This is a winning person. he just gave up his NBA career--he couldve came back and played a bit role and collected his cash--but he opted to go sell himself as a coach and looks like he is going to get the job and likely a very long lucrative coaching career is next for him.

Yet most here would love the buzz of having him over woodson?

Nets have a bit intrigue going with a "mystery man" who some thought was Messina. Its pretty much reported Billy King wants the Triangle offense with Blatch and BroPez so Brian Shaw could bring that.

Kidd deserves an interview regardless of experience just out of respect. If he blows King away, who knows?

"out of Respect" I don't why..If he was that great of a coach, I'm sure he would be on the knicks bench and our offense wouldn't have been so damn predictable..

ZERO Experience? Didnt u advocate for Mark Jackson hiring earlier? OR maybe that was someone else...Anyway - I think Kidd will be just fine as coach. As long as he does it somewhere else.

Deron and him can buddy it up in Brooklyn..

Knick fans feel "used" by kidd?

Funny stuff!
