A new owner who is clueless and a hated GM who's seat has to be getting hot. Its the perfect storm for him to try this again. As much as I hate Nico, I'm not sure having Kidd as GM would be much better.
Kidd gaining influence was one of my concerns when him and Nico were brought in. An inexperieced GM who Kidd probably thought he could control. I don't want Kidd having an outsized role in direction either.
It is weird. The McGee thing was supposedly Kidd. I think Sterling Brown was another, but there has been other moves that Kidd appears not to been a fan of. Christian Wood being one. Omax never really got a runway here. There are 3-4 other examples. Kidd is a master at these political games so maybe he can morph into whatever direction is better served, but it does feel a little weird. Maybe I am reading too much into it and they are still in lock step. If last year didn't destroy a trust, I am not sure anything would.
