For that reason, I'd say no to the question of if those two are a packaged deal.
Makes sense. I buy this. The genesis of my question comes from the reports that Nico and Kidd had talked for a while about working together as coach and GM. That makes me wonder if Nico would be more forgiving of Kidd than a GM should be of a coach. But what you say sounds right.
Regarding your timelines for Nico and Kidd separately, I tend to buy your Nico timeline, but could see the coaching grace period as much shorter if the team vastly underperforms. If a coach can't help players to get things sorted out, and things spiral out of control, the coach can lose a team to the extent that a change pretty much has to be made.
