Jason Kidd’s desertion to Milwaukee from the Nets came suddenly although not
quite unexpectedly, given his history of burning bridges.
Both as a player and a coach, Kidd has been known to turn on other coaches,
many of whom lost their jobs shortly after.
Here’s a list of Kidd’s “victims.”
Lou Campanelli, University of California
After seven years guiding the Golden Bears, Campanelli couldn't last a season
coaching an unhappy freshman named Jason Kidd
Dick Motta, Dallas Mavericks
Kidd was drafted by Motta, and then went back on his word to attend minicamp.
"I'm very upset," Motta said at the time. He was fired after one season.
Jim Cleamons, Dallas Mavericks
Kidd was already reportedly beefing with teammate Jim Jackson when he decided
to freeze out Jim Cleamons as well. Kidd forced a trade, the Mavericks were
terrible, and Cleamons was fired a year later.
Byron Scott, New Jersey Nets
After two straight trips to the NBA Finals, Kidd ran Scott out of town with a
locker-room tirade and a reported demand to GM Rod Thorn. That demand was
obliged for Kidd, unlike the one he recently made to run the team's
basketball operations.
Avery Johnson, Dallas Mavericks
Johnson was fired less than three months after the Mavs traded for Kidd. But
the point guard had to clarify on this one: "They can't blame that one on
me," he reportedly told a friend. "When I got there, the players all thought
he was crazy. And he was."
Lawrence Frank, Brooklyn Nets
They were friends. Kidd pushed the Nets to hire Frank on a record salary for
an assistant coach. About one month into the season, Kidd had cursed him out
and re-assigned him to writing daily reports.
Larry Drew, Milwaukee Bucks
With perhaps his most devious plot yet, Kidd schemed his way to the Bucks
head coaching job while the standing coach, Drew, was oblivious. Drew was
under the assumption he was returning. Then Kidd happened.
