On this episode, Coach Drew and I talk about the Dallas Mavericks giving head coach Jason Kidd a contract extension that will take him through at least the 2027-28 NBA season. Despite some of his quirks that draw criticism from Mavs fans on social media at times, Kidd has done a great job overall during his time as head coach in Dallas and deserves this extension. We go into detail on why that is on today’s episode. Also... we discuss a potentially controversial topic. Which player will end up being easier for the Mavs to build a roster around: Cooper Flagg or Luka Doncic?
