To me it is not about what Kidd did 20 years ago or that Nico was Koby's Nike PR guy when his thing happened. It is all about Cuban going on ESPN and trying to cry/lie his way out of the mess I think he let happen in 2018. And in this past season things are still happening - Ronzone was quietly let go months after the fact that he was accused of sexual misconduct with a women in a hotel room.
Agree, it's just a terrible look, to many people, to sweep this under the rug and act like it's not even an issue that deserves any consideration. Arguably, makes the protestations of sensitivity to the issue look like a travesty.
I made the statement I thought Cynthia would not let Mark heir Kidd. Then after the fact - I said that I thought Cynthia should resign. Now I here she is going to be apart of the press conference on 7/15. Why is the PC three weeks after the hires - probably as stated, in hope that this all blows over. But now I fear that Cuban's pay checks matter more then the issue. And that she is going to have her Hilary moment and stand with her men. And the message will be that if you are good at your job you should be aloud to have a second chance.
Ideally, they would say, if they can, that Kidd's record in the last three years has been sterling, that he is wrapped in new leaves, generally why they believe that, and that they gave the issue due consideration. Not saying that will happen, by any means.
But is Kidd good at his job? His HC record wouldn't indicate that. I think the fair answer is that we don't know yet. Was Ronzone good at his job? Why the difference between the 2 people just a few months apart. The only difference that is apparent to me is that Ronzone is accused of something that is alleged to have happened recently. If Kidd gets credibly accused again of recent behavior, God forbid, I don't know what they'll do. Hopefully, that situation will never arise.
