Damn we need the knicks to go through scandals again.

Ime Udoka will be the perfect fit whoring around in the corporate office with NY times looking for a story

Why not Darko? He already knows their playbook (which consists of "give the ball to Jalen at all times, and be ready once there are 6 seconds or less remaining on the shot clock").

The day they request permission to interview Darko...that is when we know their coaching search is not going well.

WTF! Find your own damn coach like everyone else and stop trying to steal current head coaches. What a disgrace.

Why would they think either team would give up coaches who have been delivering results?

I honestly thought they'd go for Malone or Jenkins, so hearing them eyeing Kidd is a little surprising.

You would think they already had a coach lined up when firing Thibs.

Objectively funny that the Knicks are even wasting time doing this. Presumably to satisfy Dolan?

They are going to end up with an obscure assistant or Mike Malone.

I thought this was going to Rick Brunson, and am holding out hope that the fine folks of Rick Brunson . com from another life would be revived!

They fired a coach that took them to them to the ECF for the first time in a quarter century, and didn't have a replacement dialed in on? That is classic Knicks being Knicks. Or more specifically, Dolan being Dolan.

At least when GSW did this to Jackson, and we did it to Casey, both teams were pretty focused on whom the replacement will be ahead of time.

i feel like it would be more time-efficient if they just sent out an email blast to all 29 teams asking if they didn't want their head coach anymore.
