Jason Kidd reportedly emerges as frontrunner for Knicks coaching job
Kidd is serving as an assistant for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd is reportedly emerging as a front runner for the New York Knicks coaching job, as reported by Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News.
Kidd is reportedly viewed by the Knicks as a conduit to attracting free agents, but there are also people in the organization who are skeptical of his coaching ability following underwhelming stints in Brooklyn and Milwaukee. As a result, the Kidd hire would come with the caveat of the front office picking at least some of his assistant coaches.
