Extension coming for Jason Kidd?
As covered in our recent piece above about Irving’s first year-plus in Dallas, Kidd’s presence has been an unquestioned plus in the equation that has enabled Dončić and Irving to defy countless skeptics (yours truly included) and form one of the league’s most potent partnerships. An extension for Kidd before the final year of his current deal thus seems a natural.

Mavs coach Jason Kidd mentions Jovic’s “high skill set. He’s long. He can shoot it. He can put it on the floor.”…. Herro (back from foot injury) woke up feeling great and will play tonight on second of back to back, per Spo. – 6:19 PM

If you’re Jason Kidd and the bracket is set after tonight, You might want to rest players. If so, he probably opts to rest Luka vs det, etc. and let Kyrie chase his million. So Kyrie might want to go for it tonight when he still has his best reinforcements – 3:53 PM

More on this storyline
Dallas is 16-2 since Kidd moved Daniel Gafford and Derrick Jones Jr. into the starting lineup — which also required moving prized rookie Dereck Lively II into a reserve role — and of far greater consequence: Kidd has very strong relationships with star guards Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. -via marcstein.substack.com / April 12, 2024
