Despite the NBA rumors linking him to the New York Knicks, the Dallas Mavericks expect Jason Kidd to continue as their head coach. According to The Athletic, the franchise has internally assured that their coach will not leave the team this summer and that their intention would be to use the interest from New Yorkers to negotiate a contract extension with the Texans.
New York, who fired Tom Thibodeau after falling in the Eastern Conference Finals, is interested in hiring Kidd, although they have not yet requested permission to speak with him. Instead, they have already unsuccessfully tried to contact Chris Finch (Timberwolves) and Ime Udoka (Rockets).
Kidd has been with the Mavericks for four seasons, with a record of 179-149 and a recent appearance in the NBA Finals. Additionally, the team won the Draft lottery and could choose Cooper Flagg with the first pick. This week they also hired Jay Triano as the lead assistant, and the manager Nico Harrison assured him that Kidd will remain in charge.
