Mavericks’ Jason Kidd Has Clear Stance on Knicks Head Coaching Role originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are coming off their best season in the last 25 years. They took the first series of the NBA Playoffs against the Detroit Pistons 4-2 to set up a matchup with their division rival, the Boston Celtics, in the second round.

The New York Knicks have reportedly expressed interest in Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd during their coaching search, and that interest is at least reciprocated, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. While Kidd played for the Mavericks over the course of two stints, he also ended his career in New York.

NBA Insider Brian Windhorst suggested that there was mutual intrigue on the behalf of the Knicks as well as Jason Kidd on the vacant head coach's post after Tom Thibodeau's departure.
