Kidd may be New York’s top target after the Knicks fired their head coach. One problem: He’s still under contract with Dallas.

But this is the Mavericks, who have made nothing but odd decisions since the start of 2025, highlighted, of course, by the still-baffling move to trade franchise superstar Luka Dončić because, as Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has put it on a number of occasions, "defense wins championships."

The fallout from the Luka Doncic trade is still being felt by the Dallas Mavericks. Team legend Don Nelson protested the star's trade over the weekend, and now reports say head coach Jason Kidd was unhappy with the position the trade put him in.
