The Mavericks' Managerial Shuffle: A Sign of Franchise Panic? The sudden departure of Jason Kidd as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks raises more questions than answers about the team's leadership and direction.
Mavs president Masai Ujiri claimed that Kidd was let go to create "a clean slate," but this explanation seems like a convenient way to sidestep blame for the team's recent struggles.
The Mavericks' fortunes have been in decline since their surprise run to the NBA Finals two years ago, built around the partnership between Kidd and Luka Doncic.
