Notably, the Knicks reportedly have not officially asked the Mavericks for permission to interview Kidd, who has two years left on his contract. However, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reported Tuesday that Dallas is unlikely to grant the Knicks that permission, ending New York's pursuit then and there.

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.

As of Tuesday, reports indicate that the Knicks have not yet reached out to the Mavericks to gauge Kidd's availability, according to Christian Clark and Sam Amick of The Athletic.
