During his introductory press conference with the Mavericks, Ujiri was non-committal when discussing Kidd's future with the franchise. “He’s done a great job, but we are going to look at this thing from head to toe” Ujiri said, via The Athletic . “That’s the right way to look at an organization and evaluate in every single way we can.
” Ujiri said that he plans to meet with Kidd in the near future and listen to his thoughts on the state of the franchise and the path forward. “I’m going to hear coach Jason Kidd out, his thoughts on everything,” Ujiri said. “Because some of the stuff here, I don’t know.
For me, it’s that simple. If you go back to the history, it’s the same thing. I have to follow the process here.
I’m excited to meet with him. ” If Ujiri likes what he hears from Kidd, then the two sides will obviously move forward and look to build the Mavs back into a Western Conference contender together. If not, perhaps the organization could look to go in a different direction.
