Jason Kidd Leaving Mavericks for Knicks Reportedly Not Ruled Out Yet originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are looking for a new head coach after firing Tom Thibodeau despite making the conference finals this year for the first time since 2000.

Even though the New York Knicks' requests to interview Jason Kidd and Billy Donovan have been turned down, there's some thought at least one of them could still become available to them.

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.
