I mean for me $10 bucks is a big deal to me

What is $10 bucks to Jason Kidd????

OWners are tripping over themselves to throw money at new practice digs, and new flashy coach hires and designer GM/Presidents!!!

Bucks are willing to pay up. Kidd is a very small owner and is being a freaking *******, but the market will carry it so he'll have a nice fat job with lots of prestige.

Nets should bring Lawrence frank back. They are paying him!

It was absolutely notable this summer that Kidd as a first year coach received a 10M contract, vs. Kerr and Fisher's 25M deals. I did not expect it to have such an impact over in Brooklyn though.

Can't blame the Russians for not putting Kidd in the driver's seat. He doesn't have the best track record.

A friend of mine has been friends with Kidd since he was 13 years old. He always says Kidd is a great guy. The stuff that has come out about him certainly does not look good though.

i just can't imagine that he is a great guy. his laundry list is pretty long. not that your friend is wrong.. just can't imagine it.

Successful people are not always "good" guys. I know he owns a small tiny stake in Nets but he might want a bigger piece of Milwaukee and has the cash for it. Riley was an douche for leaving knicks but he had a great offer and MIami sent a pick.

Im not saying the guy is not being an ass but Kerr and Fish got way more than he did and Milwaukee dude is now an owner. The Russians will move on. Media will paint Kidd a bad guy because we love to boo villains! Media goes to Joe Six pack and riles them up.

Same with the "PJax annoyed Melo by asking for pay cut". We keep reading this crap, all Phil did was repeat what Melo said in february!!! Phil don't take a pay cut cuz Cap don't apply to coachs and Management! But we keep reading this crap over and over.

Kidd beat his wife, we hate him. Becomes a knick, we love him, goes to Nets we hate him. JR kills his friend, hate him, Become a knick, we love him. Same Shyt.

Yeah, honestly, he'd be a fool not to pursue this opportunity. The Nets aren't close to winning a title and he's going to be stuck with a crappy roster for a few years. Milwaukee is young and in the rise with a fan base that has lowered expectations. Maybe Kidd could've handled this with a bit more class? Maybe he did and we're just getting one side of the story.

You don't play this game unless you have a plan to walk away to.

Milwaukee will have to answer to tampering charges perhaps as did Miami with Riles.

Its a game that cannot end with style and Grace. Dude made a play because its what he could get in Milwaukee. Riles did the same thing, he asked for what Dolan would never agree to.

I know fans love to see Nyets falter and slam Billy King portraying the Nyets are dysfunctional losers while I have been accused of being a closet fan. Actually I find the game King is playing to be high stakes interesting and it fascinates the hell out of me. Its not a game I'd play but maybe that makes it even more interesting.

Kidd is taking out a page from Isiah's gamebook and perhaps we should just look at it as these guys are competitive type "A" driven *******s who are driven to succeed in any arena they are playing in!!!!
