Jason Kidd, about Doncic's transfer (now that he will have Cooper Flagg): "I didn't cry"

For the Dallas Mavericks, the trade involving Luka Doncic has turned out well. The Texas franchise secured the 1st pick of the NBA Draft 2025 in the lottery, despite having only a 1.8% chance of getting it. As a result, Cooper Flagg will join the Mavs starting next season.

The Texas team now boasts an impressive lineup, consisting of Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, Cooper Flagg, and Anthony Davis. Jason Kidd will lead the franchise in pursuit of the championship next season, without Doncic.

Suddenly, everything is bright and colorful for the Mavs, where sadness ruled just a week ago. Coincidentally, now Jason Kidd states that when he found out about the trade of Luka Doncic, he didn't cry or worry. He was only focused on moving the team forward:

"I didn't cry. I was more or less trying to figure out how we are going to make this work. I didn't call anyone. I put down the phone, looked up at the ceiling, and started thinking about how this is going to play out. My job as a coach is to make sure we all push in the right direction," Kidd said in comments gathered by HoopsHype.
