Mavs Rumors: Knicks Will Request Interview with Dallas Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd #mavs
all right we got to talk about it according to Mark Stein the Knicks are going to request permission to pursue Jason Kidd and interview him to be their next head coach after they fired Tom Tibido even though the Knicks made it farther than anybody expected them to make it make sense for the Mavericks they can just refuse to allow the Knicks to interview him that’s fine they could do that he’s under contract for two more years and so they can definitely make that happen they have not done it as aggressively as say the Houston Rockets have the Houston Rockets have said flat out that they will not allow the Knicks to interview Eime Odoka their guy and that came through Stein like immediately right after this story for the Mavericks it was a couple days before now we’re hearing from Mark Stein that there is this all right it it seems like the Mavericks will say no to the Knicks request for Jason Kidd to be the next head coach and so it seems like it probably won’t happen and I think ultimately for the Mavericks especially this year that’s a good thing jason Kidd has been a solid head coach for the Dallas Mavericks made the 2022 Western Conference Finals and nobody thought that they would made the 2024 NBA Finals and nobody thought they would yes that was with Luca and now this is a new regime but Jason Kidd has a great relationship with Kyrie with Anthony Davis he held the fort together last year after everything and that’s saying something for this team if they want to be as good as they want to be this season and they want to still try and win now with Kyrie with Anthony Davis and all that Jason Kidd is great kid is also credited for helping Giannis develop and so with Cooper Flag he could help develop him as well and we also saw a development with Jaylen Brunson jason Kid was the first coach to really like trust Jaylen Brunson in that 2022 run luca missed the first three games of the Jazz series and Jason Kidd put Brunson in the position that he’s in right now basically to be the star to go out there he dropped 41 of the games they went two and one in that series and then ended up winning that first playoff series and if they didn’t win that then we don’t know what happens to that run right there and Jaylen Brunson may not be in the position he’s in now with the Knicks empowered and being the star allNBA player that he is right now wild and it makes sense that the Knicks would want to go after Jason Kid because of that relationship that he and Bronson have both said is unique and special to them and and all that for the Mavericks this could still happen they could still allow the Knicks to to interview him and if they do and if they decide that they want to hire him then they could potentially get some compensation for Jason Kidd there are some examples that our guy CBA Mavs on Twitter has posted recently and the most notable one is Jason Kidd recently from the Nets to the Bucks the Buck the Nets got two second round picks doc Rivers also was traded recently in 2013 and a first round pick was exchanged and so the Mavs could get some assets could get something for Jason Kid if he decides to jump ship and decides he wants to go to the Knicks and if he does want to interview with them and does want to hear them out I don’t know how good it is to have a coach with one foot out the door but if the Mavs are going to shut this down which it sounds like they’re going to I think that’s a positive thing for this year’s Mavericks

What cracks me up so much about our fanbase is How everbody wants to bitch that Kidd isnt a good coach. When you look at the Landscape of the NBA. He is easily a Top 5-7 coach. Been to 2 out of the last 3 Conference Finals and 1 NBA finals appearance. Yes in game adjustments he isn't always the greatest. But post season matchup adjustments? He is a master at making those. Thats not an easy skill/trait to find in a Coach. Plus on top of that him being able to hold this roster together and not lose the Locker room and still compete and want to compete after all the ridiculous amount of injuries and turmoil of this Season was Special, showed the Heart and grit of this team. 99% of the League would have packed it up and mailed it in having to deal with so many crucial and season altering injuries. Who you gonna replace him with? Jenkins? Malone? Budenholzer? Thibodeau? You bring Thibs in here he is going to put 10 years of wear and tear on this Roster in just one Postseason run. He is going to run Kai, AD and Flagg into the ground. A la D. Rose 2.0. Don't need that type of pressure and strain on aging injured vets and young promising stud Franchise rookie. No Thank you. We will keep Kidd.
Kidd for KAT 😂?
Trade Kidd for a 1st and hire Thibs
Throw nico in too😊
Get that bald M&M outta here ! Can’t wait
This team could use draft compensation. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to acquire a first for Kidd and then hire Mike Malone. The latter is also good at man management like Kidd.
A 1st for Kidd would be a God send. Kidd is a decent coach…at best. Sell high on him before not having Luka run his offense exposes him for the coach he is.
Let kidd walk bring Juan jose barea to be a coach
