Wow. Dumb.

The WTF move of the year.

The Nets are now interesting. Kidd unleashed on the Hamptons full time.

Haha the nets really wanna be relevant again. Good luck to them. I like Kidd but I wouldn't bet my franchise on him as his first head coaching gig.

Stupid asses

Unbelievable !!

Nets: You ever done this before?
Kidd: No.
Nets: You're hired!

This is what happens when you have an owner who keeps wanting to make splashy moves, regardless if they are good ideas or not

I guess I'll go against the grain and say I think it will work out. I don't think a year or two sitting on the bench as an assistant would do that much for a guy who spent nearly 20 years in the NBA. He's always had a great mind for the sport and will probably do very well after some growing pains. Mark Jackson came out of the booth for his first coaching job with the Warriors and did pretty well.

Yeah, but he didn't go straight from player to coach. Who knows? Kidd could end up being a good or great coach. But it seems like a really fast transition.

He definitely has the mind and understanding of the game - better than just about anyone. But doing doesn't always translate to leading and teaching others.

Kidd is definitely one of the smartest players to ever play the game. Will that translate into smart coaching?? I guess we'll find out pretty soon

To counter his lack of experience, Kidd will try to woo assistant coaches Lawrence Frank and Tim Grgurich to Brooklyn. Frank once coached the Nets and Detroit Pistons, and Grgurich has long been considered one of the best assistants in the league. They'll help speed Kidd's learning process.

i don't think this is a bad hire at all.

Any team duped into Hiring Mike D'Antoni and Vinny Del Negro will mkae stupid hires

I'd agree that his basketball IQ is off the charts but he is a dummy.

Most definitely.

The good thing is that Deron Williams will definitely listen to him
