2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

Dude really might be jobless because of an ego...

Unbelievable.

He couldn't just vacation and enjoy his free time

Kidd

Thought his son would be the one with an inflated ego

 

[lamekilla]

Meanwhile Derek Fisher gets to teach the triangle

 

[duba169]

another interesting thing is that coaches don't go after jobs that aren't vacant. Kidd might have pissed off the coaching community.

moving from NYC to Milwaukee... at least he will save some money renting and cost of living?

It was Rose at Drew Gooden's camp. He looked to be limping as he was walking past the kids and high five-ing them.

dude should just move to somewhere in Europe that has great public transit, and booze out till the end of his days tbh

It's kinda funny but I think it's the Nets loss, I'd bet anything he's gonna be a better coach than Fisher and Kerr put together.

 

[big j 33]

I hope Kidd has a lot more friends in front offices... don't know how excited teams will be to hire a coach that tried to seize power after his first year, then bolted to another team

 

[awwsome]

Kidd found out the grass ain't greener.

At some point on Tuesday, perhaps as early as 12:01 a.m., the Orlando Magic will call LeBron James' agent to see if James has any interest in joining the Magic in free agency.

Once the Magic are rebuffed — and even the Magic expect to be rebuffed quickly — reality will set in.

The reality is the Magic are unlikely to make a major splash in the upcoming free-agency period, according to a league source with knowledge of the team's strategy. If the worst available free agent rates as a "1" on a 1-to-10 talent scale and James rates as a "10," the Magic likely will target a player or players who rate as a 5½ or a 6.

To put it in plain English: The Magic will not make a free-agent signing this summer that will immediately transform the franchise from a bottom-feeder into a high-level playoff team.
Assuming the league's salary-cap figure rises to $63.2 million, as expected, Orlando could have as little as $16.9 million in cap space if it keeps all of its players who have conditionally guaranteed contracts and eliminates the existing cap holds on free agent E'Twaun Moore and Fran Vazquez.

The team could generate as much as $28.5 million in cap space if it releases Jameer Nelson, Doron Lamb, Jason Maxiell and Ronnie Price and purges the existing cap holds.

Either the $16.9 million scenario or the $28.5 million scenario would give the Magic chances to make free-agency additions, so why don't the Magic expect to make a major move in free agency over the next few weeks?

Part of the answer is that the Magic would rather hoard as much cap room as possible for the 2015 free-agency period, when Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge or Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol can become unrestricted free agents.

Another part of the answer seems to be that — at this stage of the Magic's rebuilding process, when the team still doesn't have a superstar player on its roster — Magic executives recognize that the team is still years away from contention. Based on that assumption, what is the benefit of clogging the team's cap situation to add, at the very best, eight to 10 more wins in 2014-15 and still have the team finish out of the playoff hunt?

Indiana Pacers wing Lance Stephenson is only 23 years old and is one of the most talented players in this free-agency class, but the Magic will not pursue him, according to the source with knowledge of the Magic's plans. Stephenson had off-the-court problems early in his career.

Magic officials like Cleveland Cavaliers free agent-to-be Luol Deng, a defensive-minded, 29-year-old small forward. For Deng to consider Orlando, he probably would want a massive payday, and it seems unlikely that the Magic would meet his asking price.

I really hope, someday, my scale of 0-8 catches on with NBA front offices.

 

[mjsaver]

@ Orlando they should be fined for wasting cell phone minutes

 

[big j 33]

The only way that makes any possible sense is if you turn the 8 sideways and it's a one to infinity scale.

And that barely makes any sense.

You pretty much have to call.. even if Lebron's agents just hits ignore.. you have to be safe

 

[a-friend]

Man, y'all are laughing but this Kidd stuff is depressing. 2nd half of the year - Kidd coached really really well. Wasn't stubborn, protected our guys from long minutes and back to backs, implemented a true identity on offense and defense, made risky moves like Pierce at PF that worked, developed guys like Plumlee, Teletovic, Livingston and let them play through mistakes. He thought long term and was making progress as a coach. I thought he was going to be our guy for the future.

Then he ruins it. SMH. For a rebuilding job. Unbelievable.

Hes going to get Milwaukee to the Playoffs this year though watch. Watch. Watch. Watch.

Screenshot this first, then, Watch

Can you imagine the GM's?

Orlando needs find something better to do.

He did end up going there in mycareer.

 

[tomdiginson]

Orlando needs find something better to do.

Indeed. The fact that they really think they can land Lebron is appalling.
