Knicks Fire Thibodeau, NBA Faces Offseason Shakeup

The New York Knicks have fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after their Eastern Conference Finals run and are considering candidates such as Dan Hurley, Michael Malone, Jay Wright, and Rajon Rondo as potential replacements. The Knicks are also rumored to be exploring significant roster moves, including a possible trade of Mikal Bridges and interest in acquiring a superstar like Kevin Durant, while the San Antonio Spurs may target Bridges. The Boston Celtics are expected to trim salary, potentially trade Kristaps Porziņģis, and expand Xavier Tillman's role, with the added risk of losing Al Horford to the Knicks if he delays retirement. The Sacramento Kings are reportedly shopping DeMar DeRozan, drawing interest from the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. The Golden State Warriors, having traded their 2025 first-round pick for Jimmy Butler, plan to focus on second-round prospects like Duke guard Sion James. These developments signal an NBA offseason filled with coaching changes and major roster moves that could reshape the league.
