According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, at no point after Jason Kidd found out about the Luka Doncic trade did he try to stop the deal. It appeared he had no intentions of throwing himself in the middle to keep his franchise player in Dallas.

When the trade happened, Kidd publicly said he wasn’t involved in trading Doncic. Beyond that, he said Nico Harrison didn’t tell him until the eleventh hour.

“The trade was made and J-Kidd says he didn’t know about it until the eleventh hour, I’ll just say my understanding is he didn’t exactly toss himself in front of the oncoming train to try to prevent it from happening,” said Tim MacMahon on The Hoop Collective Podcast.

Since trading Doncic, Dallas finds themselves as a bottom-feeding team with a record of 38-42. Despite the injuries and numerous trades made, they found a way to claim the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns have been eliminated from playoff/Play-In contention.

Jason Kidd Is Expected To Sign Extension With Mavericks

According to Marc Stein, Jason Kidd is expected to sign an extension after leading the Dallas Mavericks to the second round of this year’s postseason. He’s been with Dallas since 2021-22.

In his active three-year tenure, the 51-year-old led them to two 50-win seasons with a trip to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. If Dallas beats the Oklahoma City Thunder, then they’ll return to the conference finals.

Despite rumors that the Los Angeles Lakers want his services, Dallas will most likely retain the former point guard’s specialties.

The hometown hero getting the Mav’s job!

The hometown hero getting the Mav’s job! The Mavericks are hiring Jason Kidd as their new head coach after the departure of Rick Carlisle. Jason Kidd is a Hall of Fame point guard, now coach for the Dallas Mavericks. While non of the contract details are known, they are done finalizing the contract and Kidd is now able to assemble his coaching staff.

From 1996 to 2012, the Mavs and Kidd has formed a good relationship. People within the organization, like Dirk Nowitzki and Finley, wanted Jason Kidd. Even though their falling out was brutal, due to Mark Cuban. They fixed everything up, patched it up and now will be working side by side to hopefully win another championship.

Rick Carlisle actually wants Jason Kidd to be their new HC – hopes everything goes well between Luka and him:

“My hope is that Jason Kidd will be the next coach of the Mavs because he and Luka have so many things in common as players,” Carlisle told ESPN on Thursday after agreeing to become the Indiana Pacers head coach. “I just think that it would be a great situation for Luka, and I think it would be an amazing situation for Jason. I’m the only person on the planet that’s coached both of those guys and that knows about all of their special qualities as basketball players. To me, that just would be a great marriage, but that’s just an opinion.”

Carlisle goes to the Pacers and Kidd goes back to the Mavs; what a week.
