MAVS NEWS:

[Jmaciscool]

I didn't hear that about Houston, but maybe that's an option. You may be right.

It does sound weird though... that an organization responds to something that hasn't been asked. I mean it was pretty strange for the Knicks to target two coaches under contract to begin with. And we do know the Knicks organization is pretty weird from all reports, and, by the same token, the Mavs are relatively new to this.

And I suspect if Kidd were actually interested, we would more likely hear a rumor on that possibility too. Silence is really deadly for our rumor-starved brains.

Yeah, I think this all started with Stein saying NY was potentially interested in the Rockets coach and the Mavs coach, but the rockets had made it clear they would not permit NY to talk to him and that the Mavs probably wouldn't either (not the exact wording, but that was the gist iircl.)

It could definitely be a lot of nothing, but it does seem odd that with all the rumors floating the Mavs wouldn't also float a firmer denial. But you're right, they may not have the right level of experience for that.
