The Mavericks' coaching search remains wide open after parting ways with Jason Kidd following a 26-56 campaign, with new president Masai Ujiri casting a broad net that includes both established NBA voices and rising assistants. Micah Nori and Billy Donovan sit nearly even in trader consensus because each offers distinct advantages for developing Cooper Flagg and the young core—Nori brings recent assistant success and development expertise from Minnesota, while Donovan supplies proven head-coaching experience and playoff pedigree. Lower-priced names like Thibodeau and Nurse reflect interest in veteran leadership but trail due to questions around fit and availability, keeping the market tight as interviews continue ahead of the draft.
