First, we tie a bow on the Jason Kidd pursuit by the New York Knicks. Shortly after we recorded last week, that news broke, putting an official end to the story. Though I keep saying I won’t be shocked if something weird happens, that’s Kidd’s whole history. We also spend some time talking about the likelihood of a Kyrie Irving extension.

Tim Heitman-Imagn Images This last week, during the New York Knicks coaching search, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s name kept coming up. Finally, after our poll was up and running, the Knicks actually asked official permission to interview Kidd. Finally, the Mavericks said no, putting the kibosh on this whole idea (we think). Still! At the time it seemed real enough! So we asked the question, after all, Kidd has a history of getting out while the getting is good.

Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Dallas Mavericks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This one’s more about feeling than fact. Marc Stein says Kidd doesn’t have interest in the New York Knicks job. Many other media sources say there IS interest. Dallas needs to shut it down unless they’re okay with him walking.

David Banks-Imagn Images This week’s Dallas Mavericks fan poll references team building. As the Mavericks are expected to use the number one overall pick on Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the roster as it will stand the day after the draft will be very forward and center heavy. The first question asked whether or not fans expected Dallas to make some kind of move. 86% of respondents agreed that Dallas will very likely make a move of some kind. Which opens us to the second question.
