New York Knicks Weigh Borrego, Jenkins, Brown for Head Coach

News summary

The New York Knicks are actively searching for a new head coach following the firing of Tom Thibodeau, with the NBA Draft approaching. Among the leading candidates are Taylor Jenkins and Mike Brown, both recently interviewed, while James Borrego has emerged as a serious contender due to his NBA head coaching experience with the Charlotte Hornets and his role as an assistant under Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs. Borrego is praised for his offensive creativity and analytics-driven approach, and his ties to the Creative Artists Agency, which has strong connections to Knicks leadership, further bolster his candidacy. The Knicks have also shown lingering interest in Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, although the Mavericks have not granted permission for interviews, and Kidd has yet to sign a contract extension. Despite the competitive field, some former NBA players, like Kendrick Perkins, suggest the Knicks should consider bringing back Jeff Van Gundy to lead the team. Overall, the Knicks aim to transition from Eastern Conference finalists to NBA champions with their next coaching hire.
