Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was as shocked as anyone when the team traded superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers in February.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd wasn't upset when he was initially told that Luka Doncic was going to be traded an hour before it was announced to the public. It's not because the Hall of Famer wasn't sad because of the departure of the Slovenian native but more so that he knew he had no control over Mavs general manager Nico Harrison's decision.

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd joined the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday and discussed where he was the night the Mavs won the draft lottery, gave his thoughts on Cooper Flagg’s NBA transition and discussed the last time he spoke to Luka Doncic. Highlights of the conversation are below, edited lightly for clarity.
