I don't have strong feelings one way or the other yet. I do not think Kidd is an "elite" coach, but I think there's a lot more to it in Dallas with the "Nico, Luka, and Kyrie friendship." I think having a coach due to relationships can get dicey, but that's just me. The team is playing well, but it's also a incredibly talented team with 2 of the best players in the world on the team and one that will most likely retire being anywhere from 1-3 on the GOAT list. I'm not sure that what Kidd has done, is really exceeding expectations. He's really just meeting the lowest of expectations so far. If they beat OKC and do well in the conference finals, this was probably a good move, but I wouldn't reward a coach for making it to the second round. This could have waited imo.
