We’ve talked about Jason Kidd’s greatest Nets moments before (if you want to see those, check them out here), but with his return to Barclays Center for the first time since leaving the Nets as head coach this summer, it’s time to look at the other side of the coin.
No one can take away what Kidd meant to this franchise in his short stay, and we certainly shouldn’t minimize how awesome it was to be relevant for his brief tenure. But he came to the franchise not in free agency but in a trade, he orchestrated his departure as a player when it was convenient, and ultimately he saved the pièce de résistance of arrogance for his departure as a coach.
So good riddance to you Jason, and as the old Russian proverb goes: Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord has split you.
