The Dallas Mavericks hired Jason Kidd to be their head coach this summer. The Hall of Fame point guard replaces Rick Carlisle, who resigned after 13 seasons leading the Mavs. It will be Kidd’s third time as an NBA head coach. His first two stops did not go as planned, but things could be different in Dallas.
The Mavericks have a top-five player in Luka Doncic. The 22-year-old is the brightest young star in the league. Owner Mark Cuban is hoping the addition of Nico Harrison as general manager helps Dallas improve their free-agent track record.
