Jason Kidd ‘resented’ Nico Harrison, Mavericks front office after stunning Luka Doncic trade
NY Post
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is the latest person in Dallas to be irritated with general manager Nico Harrison.
Now months removed from the stunning Luka Doncic trade, Kidd “resented” the Mavericks front office over the latter half of the season.
“While Kidd was understandably frustrated this season with the team’s injury crisis, he also resented the front office’s midseason Doncic trade, multiple team and league sources say,” DLLS Sports’ Tim Cato reported. “Even if he shared some of Harrison’s frustrations with Doncic that led to his trade of him.”
When the unexpected trade initially made headlines and shook the basketball world, Harrison took things another step further as he revealed that he did not even consult Kidd beforehand — the man who would actually have to deal with the challenges of the completely turned-upside-down roster.
“J-Kidd didn’t know about it, but J-Kidd and I are aligned and we talk about archetypes and we talk about the culture that we want to create, so I know the type of players that he likes without actually talking to him,” Harrison said in February of the trade. “I think when you’re aligned with your coach like that, I know the type of players he likes. I felt good about it making sense to where we’re trying to go.”
Whether that was the truth at the time, the trade didn’t age well in Kidd’s eyes.
