John Haliburton called it before the game 😭

Mavs FC 🤝 Pacers FC Go get Rick Carlisle his second ring

DSJ’s defense has never been the question of whether or not he should be on an NBA roster. If his shot has improved, not only do I think he’s capable of being on the roster, I think he’s capable of playing solid minutes each game.

REPORT: The New York Knicks are expected to “formally request permission to speak” to Jason Kidd, per Marc Stein Stein adds that it’s unclear how Dallas would respond to this request. (via marcstein.substack.com/p/sources-knic…)

- Kidd is “believed to be happy in Dallas…” - The Spurs have interest in hiring Sean Sweeney as an asst coach. - The Grizzlies recently interviewed Jared Dudley for an asst coaching job. - Jay Triano is a top candidate for a Mavs asst job.

Do you think Jason Kidd will stay in Dallas?

If Kidd takes an interview with the Knicks, I will begin to get a bit scared about Kyrie’s future in Dallas…

Marc Stein: “I don’t get the sense that Jason Kidd was looking around at anything else. I do expect him to be the coach of this team [Dallas Mavericks]… Jason Kidd is the coach that Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving both want…” (via DLLS Mavs)

I urge everyone to remember that there’s a lot of false reporting by “insiders” around this time of the year. Take every piece of news with a grain of salt unless it’s from someone like Stein, Shams, MacMahon, or a Mavs media member.

Which one of these players should the Mavs try to sign to a vet minimum deal? - Spencer Dinwiddie - Chris Paul - Dennis Smith Jr. - D’Angelo Russell

Maybe this will help show that Jason Kidd wasn’t in on the Luka trade…

REPORT: The Dallas Mavericks are “nearing a deal” to hire Jay Triano as an assistant coach, per Jake Fischer Triano has served as the head coach for the Raptors and Suns. He was also the associate head coach for the Kings this past season. (via marcstein.substack.com/p/the-kevin-du…)

Had to give a quick minute rant on how ridiculous it was that The Ringer ranked Kyrie Irving as the 44th best player in the NBA… He averaged 25/5/5 on 47/40/92 shooting splits this past season and is still getting disrespected.

I miss watching Anthony Davis hoop

REPORT: “As of late yesterday” the New York Knicks still haven’t formally made a request to the Dallas Mavericks to interview Jason Kidd, per Brad Townsend For everyone that was worried why there hasn’t been a report of the Mavs declining the request, here’s why.

REPORT: The Dallas Mavericks are expected to deny the New York Knicks potential request of interviewing Jason Kidd for their head coaching job, per Marc Stein (via marcstein.substack.com/p/saturday-bes…)
