00:00Jason Kidd's gone. Now I have to laugh, right? Because when I first saw this news right before
00:05the Eastern Conference Finals, I started thinking, hmm, this breaks right before Mike Brown is in a
00:13pressurized situation, and if the Knicks somehow don't beat Cleveland, and the Knicks and Leon Rose
00:21always wanted to interview Jason Kidd, and I thought without question he was the leader in
00:27the clubhouse and the frontrunner to replace Tom Thibodeau, and they fired him after they lost in
00:33the Eastern Conference Finals last year. What if the Knicks don't? I forget about it on the heels
00:38of what happened last night with the Knicks. So here's what's interesting when it comes to Jason
00:43Kidd. Jason Kidd had to go because of the stench of Luka. It's not fair, but it's accurate. First of
00:56all, the overall record is literally 500, right? And according to multiple reports, Jason Kidd,
01:04while he wasn't Nico Harrison in terms of you need to trade Luka, I mean, he was on board with
01:13the
01:13decision. So if you're ultimately Masai Ujiri, the incredible new lead executive for the Mavericks,
01:21you have to go to ownership and say, we need to get anyone associated with Luka Doncic out of the
01:28organization. So I think the Masai Ujiri hiring is unreal. What he did with the Raptors, he's so
01:34well-respected. He's brilliant. This is phenomenal for the Dallas Mavericks. So if Ujiri goes to
01:42management and says, okay, you're going to absorb the 40 mil on Jason Kidd's contract because we need
01:50to start fresh, this is how it's going to go down. As simple as that. So look, it's funny. If
01:58you asked
01:58me 24 hours ago, I would have said maybe this is a Jason Kidd Knicks topic. If you asked me
02:03midway
02:04through the fourth quarter, I would have said the same thing. Jason Kidd, phenomenal point guard,
02:10hall of famer, you know, did some great things as a Nets coach. Then remember his exit, very slippery,
02:18goes to Milwaukee. You know, then everything with the Lakers, then Dallas, you know, follow some of
02:23the tweets. He's a very slippery guy, Jason Kidd. So I think it all adds up to Masai Ujiri,
02:32especially now with Cooper Flagg wanting to start fresh. It was not on my bingo card for news
02:38yesterday. You take a breath, I can understand why Jason Kidd is done because of the Lucas stench in
02:46doubts.
