"Jason Kidd is more than deserving of this extension. His players love him, his teams plays hard for him and he’s gotten good enough results to justify a new contract."

Jason Kidd is more than deserving of this extension. His players love him, his teams plays hard for him and he’s gotten good enough results to justify a new contract.

Moreover, for another fan, with Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and Flagg on the roster, Jason Kidd's future with the Mavericks was secure.

"Kidd gets signed to a multi year dear after Luka carried the team is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see how Kyrie, AD and Flagg carry him to another extension."

@TheSteinLine @DLLS_Mavs Kidd gets signed to a multi year dear after Luka carried the team is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see how Kyrie, AD and Flagg carry him to another extension.

However, for a fan, the Mavericks were going to regret the decision in the future.
