They said originally the plan was for Kidd to move into the front office when him and Nico was still around. They had no inside intel input was wondering if the interim gm was because it would be Kidd taking that position this summer and the Mavs would have a coaaching search and not a gm search. They speculated you can’t have the interim gm make the big trade when they don’t live with it afterwards, but said what happens if Kidd is the gm. Sort of scary.
The idea that Kidd wants the job makes good clickbait. He seemed to have that mindset early in his coaching career. But I'm not convinced he really wants that anymore, and we've seen nothing like that from him for many years, so I don't see any legs to the idea.
In fact, pretty much the opposite.
There's been nothing in Kidd's resume to make anyone think he's a future GM. "Coaching" is his area of expertise. He's signed to be a coach for a while longer. His past roster choices have been kinda meh. And there's nothing in the Mavs situation to make anyone think they are eager to get another less-than-expert GM to make the roster-building choices as they move forward from the Nico Fiasco.
