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.

When asked about his confidence in Dallas's front office ahead of Doncic's return to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday, head coach Jason Kidd made clear that he has faith in the organization's ability to win a championship under GM Nico Harrison and owner Patrick Dumont.

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd inadvertently only added fuel to that ugly fire Wednesday ahead of Dončić's first game in Dallas as a member of the Lakers, saying it's "kinda cool" that the trade has been compared to the infamous trade where the Red Sox sent Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920.
