[Stein] Yet it has also been whispered that the Knicks likely did some backchannel exploration to determine if there was any pathway to pursue Boston’s Joe Mazzulla. There obviously was not…and then the Celtics extended Mazzulla’s contract in August.

sources say Mazzulla wanted to fight the rest of the Knicks coaching staff as part of the interview process. “One-on-one or all at once, I don’t care.”
Am I stupid or is there nothing about Mazzulla or the Knicks in the linked article? I just see a few paragraphs about the Durant extension.
Could it be that Joe is actually a good coach? Might injuries to many critical players have played a factor in last year‘s results?
If the Knicks were willing to surrender a one-on-one MMA bout between Mazzulla and James Dolan as the price of poaching Mazzulla, that’d almost be worth it.
And now thibs is giving Joe and every other coach the Knicks sauce
Man this just shows you how much the rest of the league expects us to suck that a team figured mazzulla would rather coach a contender than a rebuilding team.
That’s a coin
