Kidd wants Byron out

According to some reports, Jason Kidd has asked the nets to fire coach Byron Scott or the can say good bye to the free agent. This comes after Jason allegedly said that his son TJ (with the gigantic head) could have coached better than Scott after New Jersey's loss to the Spurs in the NBA finals. By now everyone should know that Jason Kidd means a lot more to the nets than Byron Scott does. Scott made several interesting coaching decisions in his tenure and some say now that assistant Eddie Jordan has left his side, Scott will be even more clueless in his coaching. Of course, the real decision in this matter is most likely Kidd's wife, Joumana. Joumana is a camera whore and is always at the end of Kidd's bench with his son, looking to get on camera. Would she want to leave the bright lights of New Jersey (New York) for the dim lights in San Antonio? Doubtful. Joumana wants a television career and has had some shots on TV while in NJ. Most likely her dream would be for Jason to play for the Lakers (or even clippers) in Los Angeles. That won't happen though. So one must figure she is rooting to stay home in NJ. As part of the resigning effort the nets have allegedly offered to get Joumana TV jobs if Jason stays in NJ.

Now this should not ignore the fact the Scott is a lousy coach. Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal should be asking the Pacers to fire Isaiah Thomas as well, but he has not asked for this as it appears he likes Thomas despite the fact that Thomas is one of, if not the, worst coach in the league. That is the coach who helped get Indiana eliminated by Boston in the playoffs despite being the far superior team. If I was the nets I would take this opportunity to fire Scott (which needs to be done) and hire a good assistant that is in the league for cheap. You already have a 'coach' in Kidd and it is his team anyways. You might as well avoid the power struggle with Scott as he attempts to prove he can win with our Jordan by his side. So Rod Thorn if you truly want to win and resign Kidd, fire Scott and get Joumana her own talk show.
