The Dallas Mavericks and Jason Kidd have a shared history. Kidd, a 12-time All-Star, played two stints with the Mavericks, bookending his career with the team. Both of his tours with Dallas ended tumultuously. How would a possible third reunion with his former team playout? If history is any indication, it won’t end well.
Kidd’s name continues to pop up in conversations surrounding the Mavericks’ head coaching vacancy. Reports indicate that there are voices within the organization pushing for him. Some on the outside thing he’d be a great fit as well. It seems like the Mavericks cannot escape their longtime link to Kidd, but bringing him on as the new head coach would be a mistake.
