Kidd is likely much safer at this point than Nash so Kokoskov might be next in line if anything happens there. In the meantime, he might have been given a bigger role there. Notice how when Kidd was out with covid, it was Sweeney that filled in, not Kokoskov. Maybe Igor will be the lead assistant there. This is all speculation on my part obviously, but that's my guess.
All that is possible, we don't really have any info. What I am concerned is Dallas obviously made great effort to bring him in especially because of the Luka connection. Now he leaves after one successful season. I am concerned how much money is the factor, but I guess we will know in a month or so, how much is Cuban really willing to spend.
We see Minnesota money whipping respected execs. We see most amibitious teams hiring respected coaches as assistants.
