When the New York Knicks were searching for a head coach over the summer, Jason Kidd was at the top of their list, despite still being employed by the Dallas Mavericks. The interest apparently was not reciprocated. He said as much ahead of the Knicks’ Nov. 19 win over the Mavs.
But he may not have been entirely truthful.
Kidd confirmed to the media that the Mavs denied the Knicks’ request to interview him during the offseason. But Dallas’ refusal is immaterial, because as Kidd also noted, he wasn’t interested in joining New York, or leaving Big D at all.
