When Kidd got rebuffed, he jumped to the Bucks, run by opportunistic New York-based owners, Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry. “I wouldn’t hire Jason Kidd if he was the last coach standing,’’ said an NBA source who has worked with Kidd. “It would be a terrible choice. There’s a reason Milwaukee is in the place where they are right now — coaching.’’

Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry said the National Basketball Association would continue with the plan to restart games in Orlando next month, despite the recent increase in Covid-19 cases in Florida. “We’ll see what happens over the course of the next two weeks,” Lasry said on CNBC’s “Halftime Report” on Thursday. He added that for “players that don’t want to go, I fully respect that” but also said of his team that “every single one of our guys is going to be down there.”

The National Basketball Association could reach a decision about resuming its suspended season by next week, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry told CNBC on Thursday. The billionaire co-founder of Avenue Capital said on CNBC’s “Halftime” that NBA commissioner Adam Silver will present “different options” about reopening at the league’s board of governors meeting Friday. He added board members will use the weekend to consider proposals.

“I think at the end of the day, we’ll be in Orlando at Disney,” Lasry said. “The question is going to be will we have all 30 teams there or will we have 24; whatever the number will end up being. But hopefully, by the middle of July, we start playing again.”

Bucks co-partner Marc Lasry expects NBA to return in 6-to-8 weeks
Milwaukee Bucks co-managing partner Marc Lasry says he expects the league to resume in 6-to-8 weeks.
There is some real momentum now for a possible NBA return. The league has been looking into “bubble sites” such as Orlando’s Disney World as well as The Strip on Las Vegas. Orlando continues to gain momentum and traction as the spot for the league to resume and with the NBA allowing teams to begin to expand workouts beginning on June 1, there are now serious ideas for a resumption date.
Milwaukee Bucks co-managing partner Marc Lasry joined CNBC and he gave a rough timeline for when he thinks the league will resume:
I think we’ll have something, hopefully within the next 6 to 8 weeks, we should be playing.
A lot of people believe that whoever comes out on top as the champion in 2020 should have an asterisk next to it, but Lasry does not believe that as he added:
Everybody is going to talk about, ‘Well, it was difficult’. It was different. It was without fans. Yeah, but then you’re still an NBA champion. You’re still the champion.
The Philadelphia 76ers will be one of those teams fighting with the Bucks for a spot in the NBA Finals and a chance to eventually contend for a championship. It will be interesting to see how the teams look. Coach Brett Brown did say he does not want the Sixers to use the pandemic as an excuse to not be ready to go.
