Jason Kidd set to be new Dallas Mavericks head coach

It looks like Jason Kidd is ready to be a head coach once again in the NBA. After serving on the bench for the Los Angeles Lakers this past season as an assistant coach, he's ready to head to a new Western Conference squad.

According to ESPN, the Dallas Mavericks are shaking things up in the front office, while their plan is also to hire Kidd as the team's new head man. He'll of course replace Rick Carlisle.

Carlisle, who helped the Mavs win the NBA Finals, announced earlier this month that he won't be back. Now, Kidd will be the new head coach. With Kidd working together closely with Luka Doncic, watch out for Dallas next season.
