Yeah I absolutely hated the way that Kidd handled the entire situation but like you I'm glad we didn't end up paying Wood big money
Now we just have to worry about who will be Kidd's newest enemy. Will he have some weird, irrational hatred of Grant Williams? That would suck

I have little hope for Kidd being a good coach, but it does seem like we were more aligned with the players we acquired this offseason vs last.  Most of the guys we brought in were high character, high BB IQ and good defenders (which generally go together).  They were Kidd kind of guys (and something a team that already has Luka and Kyrie desperately needed).  They were also mostly young, which is supposed to be Kidd's calling card.  Kidd got everything he could want from this offseason.  If he can't significantly improve on last seasons performance, he won't have any more excuses.
