Is it a matter of does he wanna coach THIS Mavericks team? He signed an extension last season. So it's up to HIM to say he's staying or going. When he was extended he had Luka/Kyrie. Now he has neither.

Kidd obviously knows the Knicks want him. Somehow "mutual interest" was reported. So that must have been Kidd's camp. Is he squeezing Dallas for a different deal? This is all so annoying!!

That article is actually a really good read about him. It makes sense why the Knicks are strongly considerating him. Put him on my list over Mike brown.

Kidd wants them to reup him because the job went from coaching a contender to the first stage of a rebuild. He’s not loyal, and based on how they moved Luka they aren’t loyal to him either. So it sounds like either the Mavs re-up or he is going to ask to leave.

We knew this already. Knicks are doing the same stunt we did with Thibs. We all knew we were going to hire thibs even though we interviewed a bunch of other candidates. It's inevitable. Mike Brown will be the next coach of the New York Knicks unfortuantely.

We got to see. It could be due diligence, it could be them wanting to put pressure on the Mavs, but it also just feels like they just aren’t sure. Last time it was a kabuki this time you hear rumors that certain guys are liked more than others and that is it.

I don't buy any of those Kidd rumors. It seems pretty dead according to Stein.

I'd love to be proven wrong about us hiring Mike Brown, but the fact that dude has known Wes for like 20 years is something that this front office cares about the most: relationships. It just seems inevitable to me.

Right. Now the Knicks are just waiting..... :lol: He is losing his staff. Hiring others. Visited with Flagg. Hasn't said a word publicly. This really is annoying me. :lol: It makes me think they tampered and are just waiting for whenever to announce he's leaving. If not, this is just Begley trying to stay relevant.

The KNICKS have the only vacancy in the entire league, so they have zero reason to rush. It's only the fans and the media who are impatient and want an answer NOW. However, Leon has the luxury of following his own formula on his own timeline.

Players are being traded. There's a draft tomorrow. FA in a few days. Summer League is coming after that. Wouldn't it be better to have the next HC preparing for any of that? It's been 3 weeks. Time is ticking bro.

Maybe, but fortunately we no longer have an inflexible HC who can only coach certain players in a certain style - the only goal at this point is maximizing productive talent on this roster, and Leon & Co have been superb at that. No head coach necessary (even though I agree it would be nice).

Yeah. That's a plus. I'm just getting antsy watching other teams making moves. FOMO and all that. Just seems a little odd to me. Oh well.

Mike Brown.

Might as well waive the white flag from now.

A team with Mike Brown and KAT is never winning a title.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
