Joey Mistretta: Jason Kidd was asked about the difficulties of selecting a No. 1 option in games right now given the Mavs’ plethora of injuries. “There’s no number one option, it’s team,” Kidd said. “Everyone touches it and whoever is open, shoot it. We don’t have a number one or a number two, we’re not built like that right now, we’re built on team… This isn’t to run plays for one person. “Klay (Thompson) is one of the best, he’s a future Hall of Famer, but we gotta set screens and create those opportunities for him.”

More on this storyline
Tim MacMahon: *”Jason Kidd says he didn’t know until the 11th hour. I can’t confirm or deny that. I can tell you that Jason Kidd had similar frustrations with Luka well before this trade was made. But as far as the players—Kyrie found out about this when he was getting treatment. It was just after midnight at the Cleveland Ritz-Carlton. He was getting treatment, you know, he’s got his own body staff. He was getting treatment from his guys, saw this thing come across social media, and that’s how he found out about it. -via YouTube / March 7, 2025
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd was asked before Wednesday’s game in Milwaukee about the perception that Irving’s increased workload played a factor in his torn ACL. Kidd vehemently disagreed with the notion and spoke for over four minutes, while broadening the conversation about resting All-Stars as opposed to playing them as much as possible. “The load didn’t have anything to do with the injury,” Kidd said. “We’re talking about one play. It’s a freak accident. That’s how it should be reported, but we’re not reporting it right. We’re reporting on conspiracy theories. -via Dallas Morning News / March 5, 2025
