Jason Kidd’s departure from Brooklyn to Milwaukee still seems strange, several months later. It came out of nowhere and was almost unprecedented. We’ll never get the true story, but reports suggested Kidd wanted more power, while he continues to deny that.
However, one thing he doesn’t deny is the rumor that the Nets wanted to fire him.
“Did I want to be traded?” said Kidd, whose Bucks play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday. “I think once [the Nets] OK’d the talk to Milwaukee, that just showed, whatever you want to call it, rumors or no rumors that they wanted to fire me in December had to have some legs.”
Kidd denied seeking additional power. […] “No, I don’t need any power,” Kidd said. “My [job] is to learn how to be a coach and be the best coach that I can be.”
