If we haven't formally requested Kidd and thus may be negotiating on him, the same can be true about Udoka or Finch or whoever.
The reporting around this must be read very carefully, because doors that are reported to be anticipated to be closed are not the same as them actually being closed.
It is interesting that Bryant's name never seems to be coming up though.
If Bryant was the guy he would have been hired already. He might be a fall back option but he’s not the plan A or B
Exactly. And further....
if Dallas unequivocally was keeping Kidd they would have shut this thing down before the Windhorst report.
Kidd also has already strongly hinted he is interested in the Knick job. You don't make that public unless you are ready to leave your current job.
If I was Kidd I would have been incredibly pissed off at the Luka-AD trade. One of the principal, if not the only, attractions of coaching Dallas was being the coach of a team with Luka in/leading it. He's gone from having a team that reached the finals with a hobbled Luka, all right, with some luck, but with a decent chance to get back to a similar level, to some busted straight draw of a team with almost no chance of doing anything good.
If I was Kidd and offered the chance to coach the Knicks with JB and Giannis on the team I'd bite Dolan's hand off.
