In fact, I really don't like listening to him because most of his answers have little substance. He has never felt comfortable answering questions. He has gotten better the last few years but has never seemed polished. Sort of weird coming from where he was before the Mavericks.
Although, to have that press conference and try to joke is just really, really poor taste. I have no idea if Kidd was on board, but you could tell Kidd understood the moment and wanted nothing to do with any jokes. He can't give the real reasons why he made the trade, but that should have been a simple execution. We would all still be just as pissed, but to think you can get up there an tell a joke is just tone deaf.
