I don't think they'll get very far.
NBA players can tweet about him "being a leader" all they want. Like that means anything. NBA players seem to have no issue disrespecting coaches with even many years of experience under their belt. Now enter Kidd, with zero coaching experience. Someone they are more likely to see as an 'equal', rather than someone to look upto. And they're gonna dump him right into the big leagues too.

Jason Kidd is a hall of fame PG. If they don't look up to him, a man who's seen it all, then what hope do they have? "His equal"? He's an all-time great for crying out loud. I'm excited for the Nets. It will be a fun year and I'm rooting for Kidd even though he's in the division.

Turns out it was a BAD idea...
SI.com wrote:"Just bad coaching," is how Jason Kidd described what's ailing the Nets, but his players defended him Tuesday. It is surely too soon to judge Kidd's coaching acumen, but it is fair to wonder whether he was ready for this job, on this stage, with these weighty expectations. A veteran scout, interviewed earlier in the day and speaking on the condition of anonymity, called Kidd's bench comportment "terrible," observing that the play-calling has fallen mostly to his top assistants, Lawrence Frank and John Welch. "He doesn't do anything," said the scout, who has watched the Nets several times. "He doesn't make calls. John Welch does all the offense. Lawrence does all the defense. ... I don't know what Kidd does. I don't think you can grade him and say he's bad. You can give him an incomplete."

There's way too much pressure on Kidd, partly because this is going to be the only year they can win with this roster. IMO, it was a bad idea to throw a rookie coach into this situation.Twitter - @thekid_it

Amazing start to Kidd's coaching career.
Now I'm gonna add insult to injury. Because Brooklyn did whatever it took to challenge for a championship this season and next season, they basically sold all their future picks and cap space. To illustrate how bad their pick situation is, Brooklyn doesn't own the rights to their own first-round selection until 2019. As for their 2014 first-round pick, Brooklyn will convey the less favorable of its 2014 first-round pick and Atlanta's 2014 first-round pick to Boston. To illustrate how bad their cap situation is, the Nets aren't projected to be under the cap until 2015. They don't have enough cap space for a max contract until 2016. So basically, if you thought we were in a bad situation, they are pretty much fucked for the next three or so season unless they can make a miraculous recovery to their, so far, disappointing season.
