Interesting way to leave the team by signaling whom you’d like to see take your job. Having said that it makes a ton of sense. Cuban values relationships, Kidd has history in Dallas, and Luka can learn from one of the best.
Rick endorses Kidd

Sometimes I wonder if the overseas players aren’t at a disadvantage in this area. Elite high-school players get exposed to these coaches, scouts, & personnel people at such an early age and build these relationships. Guys like Giannis, Joker, & Luka don’t really have those experiences to fall back on when they get in a position of power to have input on their next head coach.
Tim McMahon kind of broke down how complicated this became on the hoop collective…
Luka’s situation is unique is that he’s forcing the Mavs to push all the chips in the middle now…He doesn’t need to develop..he is developed…what he needs is help…
But if they come to Luka and say..flat out..who do you want as coach?. .what depth of knowledge does he have that he can rely upon? Has he ever even had a conversation with Jason Kidd? U.S.-born stars have been having those interactions since before they could drive a car.
He’s been scouted by these kinds of people since he was 14…
He confronted Carlisle about who coaches the team him or Bob? That’s what likely caused Rick to say I’m out.
