The Brooklyn Nets have granted first-year coach Jason Kidd permission to speak with the Milwaukee Bucks about a post in their organization after his request for greater power within the Nets' hierarchy was turned down by management.

ESPN reported the two teams have already begun to discuss possible compensation should Kidd decide to walk and abort the final three-years of his nearly $3 million per season deal with the Nets.

The website added Kidd recently approached Nets' ownership about assuming greater control within the organization and specifically wanted to be placed in charge of the team's basketball operations division. Convinced he doesn't yet have the experience for such a post, Nets officials denied Kidd's request, leading to him ultimately being granted permission to speak with other teams about available opportunities.

Coming off a league worst 15-67 campaign, the Bucks just landed former Duke star Jabari Parker with the No. 2 overall selection in the NBA draft and are touting the 19-year-old star as the new face of the franchise.

Being able to land the Hall of Fame bound Kidd would be widely considered another coup for the organization, which recently sold to a pair of New York City investment bankers at a staggering cost of $550 million. Kidd is rumored to have a close and personal relationship with Marc Lasry, one of the Bucks new owners.

The Nets went 44-38 in Kidd's first season, advancing to the semifinals of the Eastern Conference playoffs before being ousted by LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
