In the initial press conference the day after the already infamous trade, Nico Harrison said that he and Kidd had a "vision and a culture that we've wanted to create since we've been here," signaling that while Kidd wasn't brought in on the deal until late, he was on board. That does not seem to be the case, though.

According to Tim Cato of DLLS, Kidd resents Harrison for trading Doncic, a 25-year-old superstar in the prime of his career who has made five All-NBA teams.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is hoping that Luka Dončić's first game at American Airlines Center since being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers provides some closure on the discussion around the deal.
