Jason Kidd OUT! Who will be the Mavs' next HC?

[Chicagojk]

My theory from the start (with no proof) is Kidd grew frustrated with Luka and was ok looking to trade him.  You heard rumors that Dallas reached out to Min and Mil fishing for a trade.  Reports differ if Luka was ever brought up but it was rumored Dallas called and asked about Ant and Giannis.  They didn't catch anything so they moved on without having deeper conversations.    I believe this was in line for what Kidd was looking for if they traded Luka.  While I believe he liked AD, I think Nico went a little rogue on that one.  Either with the full trade or accepting a lesser offer.  So he had some plausible deniability that was truthful, but with a lot of grey.   Luka definitely think Kidd was involved.   Someday there will be books with different stories on the trade.
