NBA rumors: Jason Kidd likely to stay in Dallas

Per Sam Amick of The Athletic, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s move to the New York Knicks looks less likely.

There has been rumored interest from both sides since the Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau. Kidd, a former Knicks player, is highly regarded in the league. There are significant obstacles to the deal, however. Dallas has the final say-so since Kidd remains under contract with the Mavericks. Even if Kidd wanted to go to New York, the Mavericks could play hardball and force a trade ultimatum.

It casts much doubt over who will take the helm in New York. Let’s look at the remaining options.

Knicks Next Head Coach Odds

Before the report dropped, Kidd was -160 on the DraftKings Sportsbook to be the next head coach in New York. Now things will change. Johnny Bryant was second in the odds before this news, and will surely rise in the ranks.
