MAVS NEWS:

I had that thought, too, but the Magic made their hiring of Sweeney official a couple of weeks back, and he's an assistant for the Spurs. That doesn't mean there isn't a coach on one of those teams the Mavs are hoping to hire, but if it was official or even close, their proximity to every NBA reporter in the world over the past couple of weeks would've made it even more likely to get announced, I'm guessing.

Well, the headless chicken scurrying is making one thing clear - they felt they needed to get rid of Kidd ASAP, fallout be damned.
