Mavericks part ways with head coach Jason Kidd

sportsMay 19, 202623437

Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks mutually agreed to part ways after five seasons as the team's head coach. New Mavericks president Masai Ujiri will immediately begin a search to hire Kidd's replacement. Kidd still had multiple years and millions of dollars remaining on his contract, making the split a significant organizational decision. The move follows recent on-court struggles and roster turnover and signals Ujiri is pursuing a fresh direction for the franchise.

I never ever thought I would say this, but the reason why the Portland Trail Blazers’ owner thankfully would never hire Jason Kidd as coach is that he’d command too high a salary

I mean, I don’t think we’ll lose him. Just because he doesn’t work here anymore doesn’t mean we won’t be able to find him. Just because you can’t find Waldo doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. He’ll keep living inside the radio
