The widely held belief is that Kidd, ultimately, is hoping to parlay the Knicks’ interest into a lucrative contract extension. It remains to be seen how Kidd might respond if he doesn’t get the desired extension, and there is historical precedent here when it comes to Kidd spurning the Mavericks for the Knicks.

Sources: The Mavericks strongly believe that Jason Kidd will remain in Dallas (and not coach the Knicks). They’re telling people that quite loudly, too.

Jason Kidd to the Knicks? He left Dallas for New York once as a player. This time, there are signs he’ll stay put with the Mavericks.

The Jason Kidd question I most want answered is why the Mavericks would let him go. If you’re the Knicks, are you at least a little concerned about the answer to that question? – 1:36 PM
