Colangelo Speculation

[TSF]

From NY Daily News's Mitch Lawrence:

You have to wonder if Jason Kidd will turn to an old friend to help him run the Milwaukee Bucks when he's done coaching and assumes the president's post. We're of course talking about Bryan Colangelo, who was Phoenix's top basketball exec when Kidd was playing for the Suns. Kidd won't be able to handle day-to-day GM duties of talking to agents and other GM's and crunching salary cap numbers, but Colangelo can handle all of those.

Figured people would be interested in that.

Lol. Maybe Jose too.

Lol. Maybe Jose too.

nah Jose belongs to Babcock, but I'm sure Colangelo will still try to get Steve Nash.

Well, he spent a lot longer with Colangelo and got his real payday from Colangelo.

Did the Bucks get rid of Hammond (current gm?) too?

I remember reading about a month ago that BC had been sniffing around the Bucks Pres. job and before that putting some moneymen together to buy the team which did not happen obviously. Kidd is a sleaze...had a job and actively did Drew out of his. He gives new meaning to "looking out for #1".

Oh Damn ...

Speaking of Kidd being a sleazeball:

A quick list of people who at one time or another (allegedly) found themselves on the short end of Kidd’s basketball intrigues: Cal coach Lou Campanelli, Mavs teammate Jim Jackson, Lawrence Frank (twice), Rod Thorn, the Barclays Center mop person, Mark Cuban, Billy King, and now ex-Bucks coach Larry Drew (not to mention his staff), whose next stop is probably the fired-coach unemployment sinecure known as NBA TV

A lot of post–Kidd coup pieces decry this incident as a waste of the goodwill Kidd had built up during the Nets’ post-January run to relevance. That’s true, but it arrives at the crux of the matter at an acute angle. After all the shit Kidd has done over the course of his career — the backstabbings, the petulance, the broken verbal agreements, the drunk driving, the spousal abuse, the faked migraines — Kidd had built up goodwill JUST BY WINNING A FEW BASKETBALL GAMES

Did not realize that Drew was even worse in what he did to Woodson while in Atlanta. Karma.
