Meanwhile, one of the fans said that the Mavs are serious about winning the title in the near future.
“I guess they’re not joking.”
“Jason Kidd is very deserving of this extension. His players love him, his teams play hard for him and he has had enough good results to warrant a new contract.”
Additionally, for another fan, with Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and Flagg on the roster, Jason Kidd’s future with the Mavericks was assured.
“Kidd signed for several years after Luka carried the team, it’s absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to see how Kyrie, AD and Flagg take him to another extension.”
