Jason Kidd has received some criticism privately from the owners of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Marc Lasry, one of the Bucks' tri-majority owners, is a close friend of Kidd and brought him to the franchise.

Some believe Kidd's heart isn't into coach and were disappointed he scheduled hip surgery for the middle of the season when it could have been done in the offseason.

Kidd's coaching abilities and player personnel decision-making have been questioned.

The Bucks haven't been the same since they traded Brandon Knight in a deal for Michael Carter-Williams.
