but to move to bk and get the borough/city to buy in, you can't be hawks north and be a middling 5-6 seed for 5 years. that gets old quick.
and nothing the ny media loves more than blood in the water.
if they struggle, then yormark, king and proki are idiots for hiring him so green if the roster's flaws don't allow upgrades, then how do you put kidd in the best position to succeed or even consider an extension should he even make it to the next to last/last yr of his deal
unless cynically it's "hey we're not going anywhere but look who we got, Jason Kidd!"
which applies to Nets fans from 10 yrs ago, cause the people buying tickets in bk could give a shit about what he did for that franchise.
if they were gutting it, like the knicks did in 08 before LeBron, I could see giving it to a rookie HC, which is why I would have loved Mark Jackson getting the look.
this stuck in the mud ass roster...doesn't make sense.
