The New York Knicks have reportedly expressed interest in Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd during their coaching search, and that interest is at least reciprocated, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. While Kidd played for the Mavericks over the course of two stints, he also ended his career in New York.
The New York Knicks requested permission Wednesday to interview Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd for their head coaching vacancy — a request that the Mavs denied, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
According to a report from longtime NBA reporter Gery Woelfel, New York is preparing to make a "tsunami-type offer" to trade for Antetokounmpo. In addition, the Knicks may be trying to bring in a favorite of the superstar forward to be their new head coach.
