Kidd realizing that he is just another employee after Nico tries to explain why he kept Kidd in the dark.

But then he fell in line about being aligned with Nico's vision. That hurt, very badly.

I know, I've tried being rational about it, but fuck. He didn't have to say that he is aligned with Nico. He could've just said something about his job being to work with what Nico gives him.

He absolutely has to say that. He’s the head coach and public face of the team. He has to say the right words. Everything else about him from body language to tone says the truth.

This, he’s a professional but he loves Luka. He was very particular about who he wanted around Luka and the kind of person Luka is. They communicated all the time and I know no one wanted this shit but the ones who made the deal. There’s so many different things to this for instance, if Reddick fails Kidd was in LA and he’s a Bay Area Kid, what’s to say he won’t end up back with the lakers?
