Jason Kidd originally interviewed for the head coaching role with the Los Angeles Lakers, but ultimately was hired as the lead assistant under Frank Vogel. From the moment he joined the staff, many believed it was only a matter of time until Kidd would take over the head role.
That obviously hasn’t been the case as Vogel led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference and developed a positive rapport with LeBron James and the entire roster. Nevertheless, Kidd’s desire to eventually become a head coach again has never been a secret.
The NBA restart in Orlando and the first round of the playoffs has led to some very intriguing openings and Kidd rumors are already beginning to circulate.
