For those who thought the New York Knicks had this all deliberate out once they moved on from Tom Thibodeau, you weren’t alone, however based on Ian Begley, that’s simply not how issues are enjoying out.
“There was no assure in place right here for the Knicks, no shoo-in once they fired Tom Thibodeau,” Begley stated on Inside Out. “I feel the plan now could be sort of what you’re seeing. They’re kicking the tires on the whole lot. …”
Which, in traditional Knicks vogue, means the whole lot. Jason Kidd’s identify continues to be being thrown round, despite the fact that the Mavericks haven’t precisely opened the door.
However, as Begley identified, that doesn’t essentially shut it both.
“It was by no means going to occur with out strain from Kidd or individuals on his facet,” Begley stated. “Possibly interesting to their human facet… saying, ‘Hey, this can be a dream job of mine.’”
If Jason Kidd desires to stir issues up behind closed doorways, there would possibly nonetheless be a shot.
Within the meantime, Memphis’ Taylor Jenkins is predicted to be one of many first official interviews. And whereas names like Mike Brown and Frank Vogel are floating round, there’s no clear-cut frontrunner.
Even Knicks assistant Johnny Bryant and reigning champ Mike Malone? Begley isn’t satisfied they’re prime of the checklist.
“I don’t suppose proper now both of these guys are within the prime tier,” he stated.
It’s mainly a wide-net operation proper now, and no, it’s not only a Knicks Twitter meme.
“They’re turning over each stone,” Begley emphasised. “They don’t need to rent somebody like Frank Vogel and discover out two weeks later Jason Kidd was out there. That will be a giant mistake.”
