Mavs head coach Jason Kidd says he has nothing but pride and good feelings for Brunson and his success in New York.
“I’m just asking for a couple of things. Trust, communicate, and play hard. If you ask Brunson, he’d tell you he’s listened and good things have happened. I just want to empower people to be successful. There are 30 companies in the NBA, we can’t all be with the same society”.
Kidd goes on to say that all he wanted from Brunson was to “trust, communicate and play hardball,” and that’s exactly what he did. That’s why Kidd is proud that he was able to help Jalen Brunson get paid, as they both did exactly what each other asked for.
