Jason Kidd Hired as Dallas Mavericks Head Coach | Terry Stotts Replacing Jason Kidd On Lakers Staff The Dallas Mavericks reportedly agreed to make Jason Kidd their new head coach Friday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Rick Carlisle served as the Mavs' head coach for 13 seasons from 2008-21, but he made the surprising decision to step down at the end of the 2020-21 campaign despite having two years left on his contract. Carlisle, who subsequently took the Indiana Pacers' head coaching job, endorsed Kidd for the Mavs' position Thursday, telling ESPN's Tim MacMahon Kidd has deep roots within the Mavericks organization, as he spent eight seasons with them as a player from 1994-97 and again from 2007-12. He was a big part of the Mavs team that won a championship under Carlisle in 2011 as well. As an NBA head coach, Kidd has five seasons of experience with the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, going 183-190 with three playoff appearances and one playoff series win. Kidd was an assistant under Frank Vogel with the Los Angeles for the past two campaigns, helping L.A. win a championship last season in that role. Terry Stotts is an accomplished head coach, and as such, he's a candidate for multiple remaining jobs around the NBA. If he doesn't get one, he's proven willing in the past to take a job as an assistant under a top head coach as a sort of resume builder. After getting fired by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2007, Stotts became Rick Carlisle's offensive coordinator in Dallas. He won a championship there and parlayed that success into the Portland job. He went on to lose that job primarily because of his team's defensive weaknesses. That wouldn't be a problem for the Lakers, who just had the No. 1 ranked defense in basketball. Stotts would be joining the team for his offensive expertise. The Blazers have finished third or better on offense in each of the past three seasons. Portland had very different personnel, and Stotts would need to adjust from two high-usage guards in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum to a bigger offense built around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They should suit his principles just fine. High pick-and-roll is fairly universal, and the Lakers could certainly use more of the movement he brought to Portland. The Blazers ranked second in the NBA in 3-point attempts last season, and the Lakers need to place a great emphasis on spacing moving forward. There's a reason Stotts lasted nine years with the Blazers. He's a well-respected coach and offensive mind, and he'd slide easily into Kidd's slot on the bench if the Lakers pursued him. So Z Nation, who do you think the Lakers should hire to replace Jason Kidd on the Lakers coaching staff?Terry Stotts? David Fizdale?? Or Other???
