[Kidnova]

I think Kidd likes his job, gets along well with Nico, and likes his team.

One could make a case that they are much better positioned to win than the Knicks right now, and into the future.

And, I don't think Nico's job is in jeopardy yet.  Dumont needs to see the long-term results of his moves. If the team is a consistent 50-game winner, and competes well in the playoffs, I don't see a change coming.

I don't get the sense that Dumont or Nico is a go-for-broke win-now kind of owner or GM.  Long-term consistency, stability more important.

We'll see.

If they were going to fire Nico, they would have done it already, I think.  Short of Flagg coming in and saying, "I'm not playing for a guy that did what Nico did to Luka", which won't happen, it's his roster to put together for this coming season.  I also think Kidd ultimately stays, due to his relationships with KI and AD, if nothing else.
