  3. They should speak to the Pacers to take Jim Boylen. He contributed to a finals team

  4. Knicks definitely leaking this so when they sign the guy they had planned from the start they can say they did their due diligence and “tried” to get every good coach

  5. The Golden State Warriors requested to speak with the San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama for their vacant starting center spot but were denied.

    It is being discussed behind closed doors that they will try and convince Andrew Bogut to come out of retirement

  7. Did they ask for Mark Daigneault and Rick Carlisle too? Go find your own coach, Knickerbockers.

  8. It’s wild how unprepared the Knicks seem for this coaching search. They fired Thibs and immediately started cold-calling around the league like, “Hey, mind if we take your coach real quick?”

  10. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of another team attempting what the Knicks are doing here.

  11. Thibs should have just gotten another year man. They are actually going to fuck around and end up with a gimmick coach next year like CP3

  12. [Charania]: The New York Knicks requested permission to speak to former New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau for their head coaching job, but were denied, sources tell ESPN.

  13. Leaving Minnesota for NY would at best be a lateral move. Minnesota is younger and deeper. Depends on how he views the big market and how much cash Dolan is willing to dish out.

  15. I volunteer Chancey billups as tribute!!

    Ps this is not a typo it’s a nickname

  17. BREAKING: The Bucks gave the Knicks permission to interview Doc Rivers, but New York declined.

  19. Knicks trying to go after coaches who are under contract to another team like obviously they’ll refuse 

    This make the Ny front office look bsd

  20. JR Smith agrees to sign with the Denver Nuggets but the Denver Nuggets did not agree.

  23. They fired the coach who took em to the ECF and did not have a back up plan lol. They over here look real pathetic asking other teams to talk to their coach lmao

  27. This is just so strange. The three leading candidates are guys that already have NBA head coaching jobs? Why is Dolan doing this?

  30. How about NBA CHAMPIONSHIP COACH Doc Rivers? Usually we’d ask for a 1st rounder in exchange but for you we’d be willing to make it a 2nd.

  31. I’ll be completely honest, this is the stupidest shit I’ve seen in awhile when it comes to hiring a coach. Those are both coaches PLANTED in their positions and you think because you’re in fucking New York that you deserve a shot at them?

  34. This really feels like a, “my boss made a choice I wasn’t ok with without any plan” situation

  36. The Knicks got a divorce and now they’re trying to take everyone else’s husbands
