Jason Kidd in 'Advanced Talks' About New Career Move: Report
Former Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is reportedly in "advanced talks" regarding his next career move.
Jason Kidd, the fired head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, is reportedly in advanced talks to become an NBA studio analyst for ESPN, according to a source. A 10-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA champion, Kidd spent five seasons as head coach in Dallas, leading the team to the NBA Finals in 2023-24. However, the Mavericks traded their star player, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers the following season.
Kidd's first season under new president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri was unsuccessful, as the Mavericks finished with a 26-56 record. Despite being open to a return to coaching in the future, Kidd is currently enjoying time with his family and watching games to see if he can help others. The Mavericks are set to begin their regular season against the Houston Rockets on October 21.
