Jokes aside, his leadership and how players respect him is enough to keep him. In a league that runs by players and their relationships, it matters.
He’s done well to turn things around but surely you wait till after the post season is done before announcing things?
I’ve said the whole time that if we equip him with the right players he can and will be the correct choice, especially since luka and kai seem to love him.
Deserved. You can say what you want about him, but apart from last season, this team has been very successful
I’m behind Kidd since forever, most of you guys can join a bandwagon now.
As long as he calls TO at the right time I’m at peace.
The defensive buy-in that we’re seeing is Kidd’s doing and it’s an incredible job, honestly. That and his relationship with players, I don’t hate this.
He’s getting better with his rotations and adjustments too, probably still too slow to change but baby steps.

What the fuck… why would we resign him BEFORE the playoffs were over. So if we bounce out in the 2nd round because Kidd makes horrible decisions we’re stuck with him… my god what a horrible decision.
I ain’t strong enough God.
He might be a great player coach. But his ingame adjustments when we are down have been awful.
But you know he is just watching like the rest of us.
I wouldnt have mind if we had moved on from him.
All the Stans and idiots who think they could coach basketball better than one of the top PGs of all time are going to be upset about this.
Haters on suicide watch right now
Jokes aside. jKidd made some questionable decisions. But the players really liked him and the vibes have been great again lately.
So I think I trust what the players see than the fans
Wasn’t too long ago when every second post on this sub was about firing Kidd lol
Winning the clippers series has been enough to redeem him in my book. I will certainly complain about him in the future, but aside from last year’s results (which he doesn’t bear sole responsibility for) I’ve loved watching my team play under him.
Exciting news for the Mavericks! Looking forward to seeing Jason Kidd in action.
Why is everyone shocked about this?
Of course you keep your Championship winning coach.. they’re just doing it in advance. 🏆
Inevitable with the lakers rumors….he’s apparently a players coach but extremely frustrating for fans. Give all credit to his team pushing lakers rumors while first round success happened. That’s all it took!
To be honest he has been a great playoff coach with the mavs. In 4 series I’ve always seen a lot of adjustments between the games. I think he’s really understimeted not onlyon this sub. He’s probably not a world class coach, but I think he’s the right coach for this mavs, and I’m happy to see him here for a long time. We have a young core and we need stability to develope the Luka dinasty!
Mavs “fans” hate him so much that they can’t admit this was deserved. 😭😭😭😭😭
So it’s between Lue and Redick now for the Lakers.
I remember last season most of this sub hated everything about him lol
Ugh I don’t know about that… He did good against the Clippers but he’s showed his limits in the past. Feels like the Lakers rumours forced us to make a move earlier than we wanted…
He has been a good playoffs coach so far though, can’t deny him that.
Everyone is always so quick to throw Kidd under the bus when he makes mistakes, or we lose a game. I think he’s a great coach who led an injury riddled Mavs to a top 6 record in the league, and 50 wins. He has the respect of his players which is so important, otherwise we would be in the same position as the Lakers or the Suns (disaster.)
I’m a diehard Kyrie fan so where ever he goes I go, and let me tell you… The seasons I spent watching him with the Brooklyn Nets, where Steve Nash was the head coach were some of the least enjoyable times as a fan. Nash was blamed for everything and the players were never held accountable. That led to the group never getting better and ultimately underachieving.
Kidd is able to get his guys to listen and stick to his game plan. He’s convinced this squad to make an unbelievable commitment to defense, and all within a few months after the deadline. Luka and Kyrie are happy it seems, and everyone else has fallen in place under his command. This is so much better than changing coaches like underwear, especially when things aren’t so bad. Clearly he can win us playoff basketball games, so I think this is a win compared to the constant blame coach-fire coach, rinse and repeat cycle.
Go Mavs!
Disappointing that they didn’t wait until after playoffs. He has been better lately but that game 4 4Q….smh.
Mavs Twitter and Reddit going to be in tears. I would have waited till after playoffs but hey
Lmao this sub is in shambles
Not saying Kidd is a great coach or anything but it could be a lot worse.
We’ve been out of the first round twice in his 3 seasons, and in both seasons our defense has extremely impressive given our personnel.
Fuck me
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe a tad early but fuck it we ball. Full attention on OKC
I’m saving this thread for after we lose to OKC because of crap rotations.
I don’t think he’s the best coach in the world, but as I’ve thought about it more and more, I don’t know what options we have. I think a huge portion of Kyrie wanting to be on our team is how much he likes Kidd. Luka butt heads with Carlisle. Kidd does bring a good demeanor for playoffs, although it’s not suitable for the regular season. I think this was the right move to make unless you want to potentially blow the team up.
Oh. Cool.
It makes sense. This team is set for at least 3 more years. I think most of the roster will stay the same, maybe 1 or 2 changes (THJ?). Players like him, results have been good lately and we want to win at least one championship in next 3 years.
Have y’all seen how good the defense is under Kidd?
He’s a top 10 coach in the league.
If you don’t support J Kidd you don’t support Dallas basketball club
If Lukas good, I’m good
