The Dallas Mavericks have agreed to hire Jason Kidd as their next head coach, according to Tim MacMahon. They also inked Nico Harrison, a former Nike executive, to be the team’s lead executive after Donnie Nelson mutually parted ways with the franchise following a 24-year reign earlier this month.
Harrison’s hire was met with high praise around the league because the Mavericks were able to lure him away from Nike after multiple other organizations failed in their attempts. When it came to the news of Jason Kidd, who reportedly agreed to a four-year deal, the feelings have been mixed.
