So far, Kidd seems to not be repeating some of his earlier gaffes.

There is strong speculation the Mavs believe Kidd will remain as coach.

Included:
Kyrie's contract
Roster building
The Flagg timeline
Who to trade, who to keep
How about an Atlanta sign-and-trade (Gafford for Chris Lavert and two 2nd round picks)
In the trade scenario, they don't like trading both PJ and Gaff. Just one or the other.

They like Chris Paul on top of that (but I think most of us here are resigned to him being in LA). Dinwiddie might be acceptable.

Marc Stein says it's not the Mavs preference to trade
PJ or Gafford, but he doesn't think it's practical.

The New York Knicks requested permission Wednesday morning to speak to Mavericks coach Jason Kidd – and Dallas gave a firm rejection, sources tell ESPN.

Otherwise, good conversation thought they talked about how good Dallas could be and how valuable Gafford and PJ are and then mainly tried to trade them for uninspiring things.
