Mavericks Fire GM Nico Harrison as Reports Link Jason Kidd to Possible Front-Office Role

Reports tie Jason Kidd to a possible front-office move during the Mavericks' search for new basketball leadership.

Overview

  • Dallas named Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi co-interim general managers and began a search for a new head of basketball operations.
  • Multiple outlets report Kidd is a plausible internal candidate to shift off the bench, though no formal decision has been announced.
  • Kidd, extended again last month after Dallas blocked the Knicks from interviewing him in the summer, holds significant contract security.
  • The team is 3-8 after an uneven start, increasing scrutiny of leadership decisions and fueling calls for organizational change.
  • Before Wednesday’s home game, Kidd criticized a hostile home atmosphere and said he hopes the environment improves following Harrison’s exit.
