The New York Knicks stunned the NBA when they fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after he led them all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals this season. Now, the Knicks are looking for a new leader, and one name they are reportedly interested in is Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd.

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly expected to deny the New York Knicks permission to interview head coach Jason Kidd, should they request it.

The Mavericks then landed the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, giving them an out from the backlash of the Doncic deal. Dallas has a lot to be excited about for the future, but they may have to prepare for the scenario of head coach Jason Kidd leaving town.
