    Lawrence Frank was supposed to be the grownup while Kidd had his training wheels on. Can it get any worse?

    Did Kidd play under Frank? If I were Franks, I would try to negotiate my way outta there.

    They were trying to play basketball like football with offensive and defensive coordinators? No wonder they suck at both! What a waste of a team and future Hall of Fame players like Pierce and KG. They both should have retired last season.

    Kidd played for him 4-5 years with the Nets.

    Negotiate? Franks' salary is probably guaranteed and he may be content to chill for a few years.

    I guess it is just me but twitter is annoying with its word count. Kidd says Kidd says Kidd says.
