With the dust starting to settle on the Jason Kidd firing, our team gathered together to discuss the move and what comes next for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jason Kidd’s firing will likely result in long-term positive change for the Milwaukee Bucks, but in the aftermath of his departure there can be no doubt that the situation offers up more questions than answers.
It’s been a busy few days for the Bucks, and with reported details still emerging as to Kidd’s relationships with players and within the wider organization, and the team itself in the process of adjusting to Joe Prunty as a lead voice, the uncharacteristic midweek break between games this week has left plenty of time for pondering.

With all of that in mind, and with much — but definitely not all — of our reaction and analysis to the move now up for all of you to read on site, this seemed like the perfect time to get the wider Behind the Buck Pass staff together for a roundtable discussion.
In total, 10 members of our staff gathered on this occasion to weigh in on the leading questions to emerge from Kidd’s dismissal, in terms of both what it means now and in the future.
We discuss the timing of the decision, how Kidd’s time as coach will be remembered, expectations for the rest of the season, Prunty as interim head coach, and who should get the job longer-term.
So, without further ado, let’s get into it!
