Jason Kidd eyes Nets' vacancy

[truebluefan]

Jason Kidd will meet early this week with Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King to pitch himself as the team's next head coach, according to sources close to the process.

Kidd's meeting with King was originally scheduled as an open-ended discussion about potential employment with the Nets. But sources told ESPN.com on Sunday night that Kidd is determined to convince King that he is ready to make an immediate jump into coaching after retiring last week.
