Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley responded to a question about the Knicks job by saying "not another summer of that," referring to his dalliance with the Los Angeles Lakers last summer and indicating that he is not interested in the job. Now, the Mavericks have made it known they intend to keep Kidd.

On the heels of firing Tom Thibodeau as their head coach, the New York Knicks appear to have their sights primarily set on Jason Kidd as his replacement if they can receive permission from the Dallas Mavericks to speak with him.
