Does Jason Kidd know where bodies are buried or something? I don't understand why he appears to be so coveted. I would give up draft picks to prevent him from being my team's coach.
No kidding. He looked completely clueless in the first half of the year. Yea, the team turned around and finished up fairly strong, but he had as much veteran leadership and experience as a coach could possibly hope for.

Deron Williams: 9 years of exp

I mean holy hell. That team really could just about coach itself. Throw in that they were playing in the historically wretched East and it was inevitable that they were going to turn things around and have a decent run.
And now the Bucks, based on a mere 50 game sample (which followed a very bad 30 game stretch), have doubled his salary and given him more responsibilities, and they sacrificed picks for the honor.
What a sheet show in Milwaukee. I mean an epic sheet show.
