Denied, want it, people familiar with the matter hinted that the Knicks may not stop chasing the Mavericks Kidd

The New York Knicks' attempt to get Jason Kidd as the new head coach seems to end up failing. The New York Knicks seem to have been seeking Jason Kidd as their new head coach. However, according to The Athletic's James L. Edwards, their efforts are on the verge of failure.

The NBA insider posted on X: "As far as I understand, the Knicks' pursuit may not stop due to official rejection." He then posted that the Knicks will turn to seek a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, who is currently the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks and is obviously satisfied with him.

"I guess even if rejected, the Knicks can still offer a deal that Dallas can't refuse," Edwards wrote. "There is no sign that Dallas wants Kidd to leave." After the Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, head coach Tom Thibodeau was suddenly fired, and the Knicks began to fight for Kidd. On Wednesday, Thibodeau posted a full page of letters to Knicks players and fans, thanking them for their support.

The Knicks' idea of ​​chasing Kidd is related to some personal relationships. Kidd played for the New York Knicks in the 2012-2013 season and has a close relationship with star player Jaylen Brunson.

In the end, the Mavericks rejected the Knicks' request for an interview with Kidd. So, how will they develop next?

What other coach candidates are there for the Knicks? After Kidd left, the Knicks still have other candidates to choose from. Other shortlists include Ime Udoka (Rockets), Chris Finch (Timberwolves) and Michael Malone (Nuggets).

But the Knicks failed to obtain permission to interview Udoka and Finch. Malone, who was recently fired by the Nuggets, is also considered a possible candidate.

In addition, Jay Wright (Villanova University) and Dan Hurley (University of Connecticut) have also been rumored to be candidates. However, the Knicks still face tough challenges in choosing who to take charge of the team.
