Kidd, 53, led the Mavericks to a 26-56 record this past season - their worst since 1995-1996 when the franchise posted the same record. He finished his time in Dallas with a 205-205 record and one Western Conference Championship (2023-2024).
Kidd will now be looking for his new landing spot and possibly his sixth new team since becoming a coach in the league he was once a force in. He started his NBA coaching career with the Brooklyn Nets (2013-2014) before moving on to the Milwaukee Bucks for the next four years (2014-2017).
After taking a season off (2018) from coaching, Kidd came back into the league as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers for a couple of years (2019-2020). Then, he got back in the saddle again with the Mavs in 2021.
Kidd's lone year in Brooklyn is the only tenure with a team where he left with a winning record. Before finishing 205-205 with the Mavericks, he left Milwaukee with a 139-152 record, losing in the first round of the NBA playoffs in three of his five years with them.
