Mavericks’ Jason Kidd Has Clear Stance on Knicks Head Coaching Role originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are coming off their best season in the last 25 years. They took the first series of the NBA Playoffs against the Detroit Pistons 4-2 to set up a matchup with their division rival, the Boston Celtics, in the second round.

Report claims Luka Doncic's trade to the Lakers contributes to why the NBA media considers Jason Kidd as a frontrunner for the New York Knicks' head coaching job.

The New York Knicks have reportedly expressed interest in Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd during their coaching search, and that interest is at least reciprocated, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. While Kidd played for the Mavericks over the course of two stints, he also ended his career in New York.
