The Dallas Mavericks ushered in a new era on June 25. President of basketball operations Donnie Nelson and head coach Rick Carlisle departed after a combined more than three decades with the franchise. The Mavs were in talks with Jason Kidd to take over as head coach and Nico Harrison to be their top executive.
Tim MacMahon reported the Mavs agreed to deals with both men on Friday afternoon. Kidd will get his third crack to be a head coach in the NBA.
