All in the family: 1 of Bucks new owners - Lasry - is friends with Jason Kidd and Kidd's agent. Stay tuned.

Kidd made a play to become the Nets' president and coach and lost, source says. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov, according to one account, said no.

Nets peaked earlier this year. Hope they enjoyed it.

No shock here, but sense I get from plugged-in sources is that Kidd is probably finished w/Nets whether he lands another job or not

So Nyets fell he is not capable. It's never good when you are standing their and your assistant is coaching the team.

I pray to god this won't happen with Derek fisher. Difference is he has Phil to fall back on when the going gets tough. Much better scenario than Kidd. Kidd might turn out to be a good coach but he's not there yet. Pay your dues

Apparently a guy on realgm broke this story the other day on the nets forum.

Thu Jun 26, 2014 9:12 pm by Carl2680
I got inside sources in the Nets organization, and the word is Jason Kidd will get fired because he asked for a raise. Kidd also wanted the GM position, but the Russians told him no. Kidd will be the next coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, and possibly the GM too

The guy posts as Carl2680 and has only posted 8 times.
Realgm used to have some guys that had insider information about the Knicks back in the early 2000's. The guy I remember is Hellskitchen. Not sure if anyone on the KNicks board breaks trades/firings etc. over there anymore.

In pursuing exit to Milwaukee, source tells Yahoo of Jason Kidd's ambitions: "He wants the Doc and Pop role (there). Running everything."

Mark Jackson come on down? Let that talk begin. I just hope they don't get a good coach.

I guess working your way up doesn't mean much these days. A first time coach with total control, has that ever happened?

franco12 @ 6/28/2014 10:41 PM

well the nets have certainly taken the mantle (of dysfunction) away from the Knicks!

Mark Jackson would be a good candidate for the Nyets but as far as striking fear in Knicks fans? Yea riiiiight

The guy you posted about Kidd's likely departure posted this.

by Carl2680
Also the Nets are discussing the coaching job with Mark Jackson, nothing official yet.

Wojo and Carl are not the only one who can do this.

Nets had been working w/ Kidd on roster changes he wanted - thru free agency, trades, sources tell Yahoo. He didn't want voice, but power.

the amount of information available thanks to the web is very empowering. a coach can be much more directly plugged in to what's going on and make well-informed decisions if he has the eye and mind for it. kidd would not be the first so we may be seeing a trend. van gundy for detroit too right?

Can't believe a guy on realgm broke this on Thursday and had all of the details. Wild stuff.

Bucks officials under this belief, sources tell Yahoo: Kidd wants Phil Jackson-like president's role with Bucks - perhaps without coaching.

Wow. I think MJax is the better coach. Asked a buddy of mine if he thought there would be issues between Mark and Twin and he said Twin is retiring.
