It really doesn't make sense on any level. 1) Kidd has been underwhelming (generous) to bad (more accurate) as a head coach. 2) The dichotomy between news of interviewing the first legitimate female NBA coaching candidate, followed immediately by news of interviewing Kidd, a domestic abuser. 3) The Magic's predilection for "high character guys" over recent years -- Kidd has a publicized DUI, a career littered with rumors successful and unsuccessful coups against coaches and front office members, and the aforementioned domestic violence plea. 4) Specific rumors of Kidd being on the precipice of taking over Hammond's job in MIL and Hammond being fired or reassigned to another position. Admittedly, I think the credibility of this report must be lacking if the Magic truly do interview Kidd -- I cannot imagine Hammond doing that if Kidd truly tried to overthrow him. I truly don't think I have seen one positive reaction from a Magic fan about the Kidd news. It is universally disliked. It would be the ultimate tone deaf hire, and while I am grossed out about him even getting an interview, I don't believe they are actually dumb enough to hire him.

With Hammond and Stackhouse I just have the shades of Borrego and Vaughn we have not seen a stable coach since Van Gundy

On the bright side, it may allow me to mercifully swear off this cursed franchise once and for all.

I’d love for Utah or Phoenix to win it all
