For the third time....go get Mike Brown, or even Tyrone Corbin! Somebody with a defensive mindset! Hell, I would even take Shane Battier.

Kidd screws BKN over by costing them draft picks (how do they even have any after the DWill trade?!) to go to MIL. Kidd screws Larry Drew out of his coaching job on the Bucks. Kidd screws HOU as our top target for assistant coach is likely to land his job in BKN. One move, three franchises. Screw you, Jason Kidd. Screw you.
he actually screwed MIL out of 2 2nd round picks, not BKN (which actually gets help via 2 2nd rounders), but your conclusion still holds. He makes one move, screws over 3 franchises.
