Here’s what he told ESPN’s Hannah Storm, [...]

Carmelo Anthony still wants to have some input on who the New York Knicks hire to be their next head coach. But, at this point, it feels like Jackson has other plans.

Those who wanted the New York Knicks to hire Tom Thibodeau as their next head coach will want to avert their eyes.

Carmelo Anthony has now had some time to think about his situation with the New York Knicks since their regular season ended, and about whether he still wants to be part of their long-term future.

So maybe Kurt Rambis isn’t a lock to become the New York Knicks’ permanent head coach after all. This most definitely comes as surprise.

Any New York Knicks fans holding out hope that Kevin Durant will consider signing with the team in free agency this summer should, um, you know, stop. It’s not going to happen. Durant, in fact, apparently won’t even consider it, according to the New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy: Kevin Durant is the top free [...]

Ever since firing Derek Fisher part-way through the season, Phil Jackson has been non-committal on his next head coaching move. He has endorsed Kurt Rambis as the coach, but it has never come across as too convincing. In particular, Tom Thibodeau’s name has been raised but Jackson hasn’t said as much. But is David Blatt [...]
