Contract extension expected for Jason Kidd
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, who like Lue has only one season left on his current contract, would also be an obvious target for the Lakers — if Kidd were to become available. That, however, is not expected to happen. League sources say Kidd is also the likely recipient of a contract extension in the near future, having led Dallas to two 50-win seasons and three playoff series wins in four attempts in his three seasons as Mavericks coach. I’m told that the Lakers, for their part, don’t anticipate Kidd becoming a coaching free agent any more than they expect to have a shot at Lue.

Jason Kidd says he doesn’t know how long Maxi Kleber might be out. When I asked about his concern level, Kidd said, “Next man up.” – 1:02 AM

Ty Lue says once again he’s left to wonder “what if” the Clippers were able to stay healthy and have a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. He credits Dallas and Jason Kidd. He felt the Clippers ran out of gas in the second half after Lue leaned on starters heavy. – 12:45 AM

Ty Lue speaks about Kyrie Irving’s impact. I’m more interested in the container full of cookies and note next to him, I believe left by Jason Kidd. It’s his 47th birthday. pic.twitter.com/5vyTJqJBkR – 8:04 PM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Jason Kidd on Kyrie Irving: “We don’t see that perception of what’s been written in the past. We’re only in the present. What he’s doing is rewriting his journey. When we got him, people didn’t think he was going to fit with Luka (Doncic). That changed quickly. Now, they’re writing about him scoring 28. It’s a beautiful thing what he’s doing. I’ve know him a lot longer than most. He knows how to play the game the right way. We all have our own opinions about different things. He’s worldly, which is a beautiful thing. Most of us aren’t and we’re just stuck in our sport, but he can talk about other things. Sometimes, that scares people. I think what he’s done for us is be a leader, and he’s teaching these young men how to be pros, and that’s something we needed.” -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / May 4, 2024

Eddie Sefko: Jason Kidd on Game 6: “We got really uncomfortable in the first half (of Game 4). Just understanding how that felt and who we’re playing against – future hall of famers. We have to earn this. It’s not going to be given to us. They’re going to come out swinging and desperate.” -via Twitter @ESefko / May 3, 2024
