Why the Brooklyn Nets Should Fire Jason Kidd

BKN has 99 Problems and the KIDD is ONE!

     In 2012 the Los Angeles Lakers were 0-5 to start the regular season  and 0-8 if you count the preseason.  Rather than sit around and wait for things to get better, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to cut ties with their head coach Mike Brown.  The Brooklyn Nets need to follow the example set forth by the Lakers and fire Jason Kidd.  Brooklyn is off to a 3-7 start with a offense and defense both ranked in the bottom 10. 

     In addition to the poor start to the season, there have been poor reviews of Kidd's performance as a head coach this season.  Howard Beck, a journalist at the Bleacher Report, reports that

"A veteran scout, interviewed earlier in the day and speaking on the condition of anonymity, called Kidd’s bench comportment “terrible,” observing that the play-calling has fallen mostly to his top assistants, Lawrence Frank and John Welch.

“He doesn’t do anything,” said the scout, who has watched the Nets several times. “He doesn’t make calls. John Welch does all the offense. Lawrence does all the defense. … I don’t know what Kidd does. I don’t think you can grade him and say he’s bad. You can give him an incomplete.”

The same scout said he had counted only 15 plays run by the Nets in the games he has watched."

These comments should worry Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and the Nets' fans alike.  It is now or never for the Brooklyn Nets.  The reasons for firing Kidd are numerous: 

1. -At most, they will have 2 years to contend for a title. 
2. -Prokhorov will be paying clost to $190 million in luxury-tax penalites this season. 
3. -Paul Pierce is 36 years old. 
4. -Kevin Garnett is 37 years old. 
5. -The Brooklyn Nets have lost 5 of their last 7 games.

The clock is ticking.  It's no wonder that Jay-Z sold his ownership stake in the Brooklyn Nets shortly after the hiring of Jason Kidd.  It is time to get rid of Kidd and bring in a coach who can immediately put together a system that will allow this very talented team to max out its full potential.  I hear Phil Jackson is available.
