Milwaukee has fired coach Jason Kidd, league sources tell ESPN.

Don't you hate it when bad things happen to good people?
Oh wait...
-
Somewhere David Fitzdale is thinking, "excellent..."
-
This was a long time coming. That team has a lot of talent they not be a lower playoff seed with bledsoe, middleton and giannis. Will see if they climb standings with better coach.
Is Lue next?
-
I thought they would better than an around .500 team this year, but this one does seem a bit odd given the injury to Parker (and to a lesser extent Teletovic and Dellavedova), the trade dumping Monroe and adding Bledsoe and the fact that John Henson and Tony Snell really are the best options at 2 starting spots.
They aren't a very well constructed team. They need to surround Giannis with shooters, and aside from Snell their "shooters" aren't shooting the ball well at all (which is why they actually miss Teletovic) and that problem won't be fixed when Parker returns. Middleton and Bledsoe are good players, but they are best as a #3/4 type options. Parker has the potential to be a #2 option and fix that problem, but I don't see how they can realistically play Parker, Giannis, and a center (especially Maker or Henson) for any real length of time.
Kidd may have needed to go, but they need a GM that can properly build that team around Giannis, and thus far they haven't done that.
-
About time he got canned, he is a horrible coach. But I agree with Moranis, its a poorly constructed roster, its not all Kidd's fault that the team is hovering around .500.
-
Getting rid of Kidd is a good start but doing it mid-season when the Bucks are in a playoff spot shows a poorly run organization. I think it was the Bucks owners whose contention on choosing a GM last offseason was a bit of a fiasco. Chris Haynes tweeted Kidd found out about the firing via the media and that Giannis is devastated.
-
While this doesn't vindicate Billy King for the Garnett/Pierce trade, it backs up more of my assertion that the biggest mistake of all was hiring Kidd to coach that team. Thank god he did.
-
Its always odd to see former legendary players fail at coaching or management
-
Giannis devastated, huh? Innnnnnnteresting......

He was always meant to be a Celtic but Danny screwed that up.

Not happy about this. I don't like Kidd at all and think he's a dirt bag. But this could help the Buck down the road and I don't want to help possible good teams.

Let's be honest...there's only one Larry Bird.

No offense, but I disagree here cclay.

Lol, I mainly thought it was kind of funny. No offense taken. However, I don't really see how it can be argued a few more losses and Lue will be firmly on the hot-seat. Multiple players have come forward and tried to defend him the last couple of days. Players don't do that if they are not worried a guy could be let go usually.
-
He was one of my favorite non Celtics in his early poor shooting years, i seem to like non shooters .....luv ya Smart ....LOL
He sucks as a coach honestly . Not sure he is a really likeable kinda coach either .
I knew it was coming , Bucks have the new Lebron superstar , except he is a likeable guy ;D.
Bucks should be better.
-
Not a surprise...Milwaukee should be a lot better with the talent they got and a top 5 player in the Greek freak..

I was jk. I wonder how aware he has been of his Pinocchio situation though. Like... did he believe he was really a head coach?
-
Great player. Poor coach. How many times did Isiah Thomas get to try? Kidd probably has a few more teams to coach but then that should be it. Now I'm not saying he is as bad as Thomas just using him as example. Guys will get hired on name alone now matter how bad.

That was the best coaching move Kidd ever made...

Kidd did eventually make Giannis their point forward.

Not the farm, he can't shoot and doesn't fit our system

You get a player like Giannis you change you system. He is a top 5 player in the league that has gotten exponentially better every single year he has been in the league.
