What’s the buzz on Twitter?

I asked Darvin Ham about the possibility of a Thomas Bryant-Anthony Davis-LeBron James frontline once AD returns after James’ comments a couple of games ago.

Jason Kidd has played against LeBron James, played with him on Team USA and coached him with the Lakers. Kidd’s favorite LeBron memory? “2011 was probably the best.” – 4:06 PM

Max Christie sent LeBron James a text a few weeks ago that changed his season.
I spoke with Christie about the first half of his rookie year, learning how to recover and treat his body, gaining 10 lbs. of muscle since being drafted, his role and more: theathletic.com/4074978/2023/0… – 12:33 PM

Merciful timeout by Jason Kidd. Clippers on the ugliest 9-2 run. How they didn’t lose the lead is a minor miracle, but speaks to how raggedy Mavericks are with Doncic (and THJ) both off floor.
LA up 42-33 with 7:44 left in first half.
That was … rough basketball mannnnnn – 11:20 PM

During his pregame availability, it was noted to Jason Kidd that Hardy has played 20-plus minutes the past two games. “Hopefully we can get him around that same amount tonight, if not more.” – 10:22 PM

A couple of nights ago in OKC, when Hardaway took sole responsibility for the loss in his opening statement to reporters, he also took similar accountability in the locker with teammates. “I think it’s a great thing,” Jason Kidd said, though he emphasized that it’s a team loss. – 9:04 PM

OKC can not get comfortable offensively, Dallas is hitting tough shots and creating good looks. OKC once again has to adjust. Unfamiliar territory for them, usually they deliver the third quarter blow.
OKC up nine with two minutes left in the frame after this Jason Kidd timeout. – 8:43 PM

Jason Kidd on why it might be a good night for Jaden Hardy: “They’re young. He’s young. The building blocks of positive minutes, putting him in a position to be successful. I thought he did that last night and he’ll get the opportunity again tonight.” – 6:08 PM

More on this storyline
“I keep hearing [LeBron James] wants to stay with the Lakers,” Zach Lowe said. “He wants to finish his career with the Lakers.” -via Spotify / January 11, 2023
“His comments though should be interpreted as his patience is not infinite and if this is just a continued morass of losing, maybe that changes. But if you force me to bet, I’d still bet on him finishing his career with the Lakers. And I’d feel pretty confident in that.” -via Spotify / January 11, 2023
Christie has studied James’ pre- and postgame routines throughout the season. And for the past three weeks, he’s been implementing everything James shared with him, ranging from icing his knees and feet to using Normatec boots to cold showers and foam rolling and stretching. “Everything he does from after the game in the locker room to before the game, how he gets ready for games,” Christie told The Athletic. “I mean, I’ve observed everything, and I’m trying to use everything that he’s been doing and putting it in my repertoire.” -via The Athletic / January 11, 2023
Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd alluded to potential for rookie Jaden Hardy as sixth-man for Mavs-Pels tonight: “He’s working extremely hard, fearless as we saw the other night. We’re going to need that tonight if he’s playing in that first break.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / January 7, 2023
Vincent Goodwill: Dallas’ Luka Doncic and Jason Kidd will attend the national title game in LA, supporting TCU. Kidd is a close friend of Commissioner Brett Yormark and a member of the Big 12 Business Advisory Board -via Twitter @VinceGoodwill / January 7, 2023
Eddie Sefko: Jason Kidd says the option of bringing Kemba Walker back on a 10-day remains a possibility. -via Twitter @ESefko / January 6, 2023
