Sources: The Mavericks strongly believe that Jason Kidd will remain in Dallas (and not coach the Knicks). They’re telling people that quite loudly, too.

Jason Kidd to the Knicks? He left Dallas for New York once as a player. This time, there are signs he’ll stay put with the Mavericks.

The Jason Kidd question I most want answered is why the Mavericks would let him go. If you’re the Knicks, are you at least a little concerned about the answer to that question? – 1:36 PM

More on this storyline
According to a league source, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison made it clear to Triano during the process that Kidd would remain the head coach. Triano, the league source said, agreed to terms on the assistant position on Tuesday. NBA reporter Jake Fischer was first to report on the Mavericks’ interest in Triano. -via New York Times / June 11, 2025
As The Athletic reported, the Knicks have serious interest in hiring Kidd — who has two seasons left on his contract — after they shockingly fired Tom Thibodeau last week. Yet according to team and league sources, the Mavericks continue to privately insist to key stakeholders that Kidd won’t be going anywhere. According to a team source, the Knicks had yet to request permission to speak with Kidd as of Tuesday afternoon. -via New York Times / June 11, 2025
The Dallas Mavericks have agreed to terms with Jay Triano to join Jason Kidd’s coaching staff, a person familiar with the situation confirmed to The Dallas Morning News. Triano will become the second-lead assistant on the bench behind Sean Sweeney, the person confirmed. Jared Dudley is also a front-of-the-bench assistant on Kidd’s staff. -via Dallas Morning News / June 10, 2025
