The New York Knicks are currently looking around the NBA to find a new head coach for the team. After New York dismissed veteran head coach Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks have been frantically searching for a new leader.
The Knicks have reportedly tried to pry multiple coaches from their current teams, with Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd being the main target. New York was denied to speak with multiple head coaches, including Kidd.
But a new update on the situation has kept hope alive that Kidd could eventually become the next head coach of the Knicks. According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, Kidd may be looking for a new extension from Dallas.
However, if this doesn’t happen, Kidd could then turn his attention to New York.
“The Dallas Mavericks’ Jason Kidd and the Chicago Bulls’ Billy Donovan are two the New York might circle back to in the coming weeks, according to league sources. The belief around the league is that Kidd and Donovan are looking for contract extensions from their current franchises, and if those don’t materialize, they might be open to joining the Knicks.”
