According to league sources, it is not available yet but the Knicks’ two head coaches are said to be Jason Kidd of Dallas and Ime Udoka of Houston. A source of knowledge about the Rockets’ thoughts explicitly told Stein Line that permission to talk to Udoka would be denied if the Knicks asked for the Knicks. The Mavericks would have a similar response, but the concluding readings for Houston were not immediately confirmed Tuesday night.

Joey Mistretta: “I see a young man who is only 18 years old can do a lot,” Jason Kidd said of Cooper Flagg On @dlls_mavs Kidd, Flag can be played anywhere from 2 to 4. #mffl -via twitter / May 19, 2025
Kidd said of Dan Patrick’s performance that he didn’t expect to rise in the lottery, nor did he watch Dallas jump from 11th-largest odds to 1st overall. “I just feel like, you know, we’ll be around 11 (if you don’t go backwards), as it’s the case this year,” Kidd said. “But it’s incredible to get the first place.” -Via Dallas Hoops Journal / May 17, 2025
