Nico Harrison might not be a familiar name to a lot of NBA fans. He’s not a veteran general manager. He’s not a rising talent evaluator who has come up through the ranks and he’s not a former NBA player. However, what the new Mavericks president of basketball operations has working for him might surprise […]
Jason Kidd was always a next-level thinker on the basketball court. That should give him a lot in common with the point guard he’s now entrusted with coaching. The Mavericks are banking on Kidd, who has officially signed to become the 10th head coach in the franchise’s 42-year history. That includes nine different men (Dick […]
