J Kidd is a great coach he won’t be without a job for long
@MrSockBoy

I agree. I think he sits out this year but next year he’ll have a coaching job.

The Knicks aggressively tried to poach him from Dallas before committing to Mike Brown. I could see Dolan replacing him with Kidd if they underperform next post season
@DarrylGibbings-q3t
June 22, 2026 at 2:30 pm
@Keezybeatswatch Dolan be the sole reason why they come up short

He’s a decent coach. I think his strength is relating to players.

Kidd has Giannis and Cooper Flagg as guys he helped developed.

The audacity to blame any coach after trading luca away for table scraps 😭

@brandonwomack7379
June 22, 2026 at 12:44 pm
@tigerhoods7927they actually traded for the overall #1 pick. Cooper Flagg. Never forget how the NBA will rig the outcome of the draft.
@giffondhall9214
June 22, 2026 at 1:30 pm
@tigerhoods7927 he deserves some blame!

So blame Kidd for the dumb trade? No Sam Cassell? Dusty freaking May? Lmao
@brandonwomack7379
June 22, 2026 at 12:42 pm
Sam should be a head coach!

Seth Greenberg is the worst sports analyst on ESPN and knows absolutely nothing about the NBA. He was also a terrible CBB coach which is why he hasn’t got another coaching job since being fired from VT 14 years ago.

Say goodbye to Kyrie Irving. The Mavs are going to have a college team playing NBA basketball headed by a great recruiter who is a terrible game tactician. Dallas continues to take ineptitude to new heights!

June 22, 2026 at 2:39 pm
@jordanbrownlee7667Just what I said: Kyrie is gone. The youth movement is here and Dallas hired a recruiter when the needed a coach.
@jordanbrownlee7667
June 22, 2026 at 2:47 pm
@Bobcratchit65the team has stated NUMEROUS TIMES there not trading Kryie. Besides Flagg and Nemhard everybody else is well in there 20s with experience..
@Bobcratchit65
June 22, 2026 at 2:59 pm
@jordanbrownlee7667Right. And they weren’t trading Luka either. How much do you know about the Adelsons?

This is the equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys hiring Jimmy Johnson in 89. This is a game changer.

I couldn’t disagree more, but I only spent 40 years covering basketball. Kyrie is gone, along with most of the veterans. Dallas hired a great recruiter… They fired the coach who would probably be sporting an NBA crown right now had the Mavs allowed Kidd to interview.
@anthonycampos8057

@Bobcratchit65 im not saying theyve immediately become contenders.
@MrMDMPOfficial

Yea right😂😂😂 college coaches suck in the NBA for the most part. Kyrie is most likely not going for a college coach. Mavs are toast

As a michigan fan i hope he doesnt bottom out like john beilein when he went to the cavs to coach, coulda built michigan to a powerhouse again, but either way good luck coach may 〽️

May is definitely not overrated, but he’s not going to work out in the NBA, the same as all then other great college coaches before him.

Too much drama in Dallas behind the scenes. kidd was glad to get out of there. Once they traded Luka everything went down hill.

June 22, 2026 at 6:37 pm
Try again. Being gifted Cooper Flagg (due to bailing out the Lakers), getting people who are elite at their jobs like Masai Ujiri, Rick Welts, Ethan Kasse and now Dusty May.
@HoopsAficionado
June 22, 2026 at 6:52 pm
This is a long shot but the Mavs should try to hire Terry Stots as the offensive coordinator to help May transition to the NBA.
@jamesjay6717
June 22, 2026 at 10:10 pm
Another college coach who will fail in the NBA. Dusty is an amazing coach, but why do you think the last college coach to go to the NBA was 7 years ago? It doesn’t work and won’t work. Dusty will be back in college in 2 years.
