Quote:"In Skin's opinion: The Gambler ain't going nowhere, Jason Kidd is going to be the coach, Finley is staying in place and the new GM is going to be a relationship guy like a former agent, maybe even someone connected to Bill Duffy."
Not a fan of keeping Voulgaris around, but if he's hidden in a closet and we never see or hear from him directly then eventually we'll stop caring.
But Kidd + an agent connected to Duffy is a really interesting pairing in terms of recruiting free agents. Say what you want about Kidd's coaching ability, but players LOVE him. Dame specifically wants to play for him, and Giannis went to bat to try to help him keep his job in Milwaukee. That's a complete 180 from Carlisle. Combine that with a former agent running the roster building efforts, and we might actually have a legit path to solving the free agency frustrations we've all felt for years.
Play with Luka. Play for Kidd. The president on the basketball side is a former player and not some suit. The GM is a former agent and understands your business interests. The owner wants to win and is willing to spend money to make it happen.
I would enjoy seeing how that player-centric pitch works compared to the same old ineffective story we've been rolling out for more than a decade.
