According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks have offered Mike Brown their head coaching position and he will be their new head coach.

As apart of the final process to securing the job, Brown met with James Dolan on Tuesday. Brown will be replacing Tom Thibodeau, as New York is hopeful this will allow themselves to be pushed into the NBA Finals.

Brown has an impressive coaching resume, as he is a two-time NBA Coach of the Year winner. Plus, he won four championships with the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors as their assistant coach.

Taylor Jenkins and Micah Nori were interviewed for this job, however, they didn’t get as far as Mike Brown did. Originally, Jason Kidd was New York’s top choice, but the Dallas Mavericks had no interest in getting rid of their coach. Same with Ime Udoka and the Houston Rockets.

According to New York Post’s Stefan Bondy, Jordan Clarkson has made the decision to sign with the New York Knicks on a one-year deal worth $3.6 million.

This comes immediately afterwards of finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, as he was in the final year of his multi-year contract with the organization. The 33-year-old had been with Utah since 2020.

As all good things must come to an end, Clarkson put an ending to that chapter of his career and decided to take his talents to a playoff contender. Per multiple reports, Clarkson only wanted to play for a franchise that had the ability to go and make a playoff run.

The last time Clarkson was in the postseason was back in the 2021-22 season.

Last season, Clarkson averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 37 game appearances.

According to Ian Begley of SNY, the New York Knicks’ chances of stealing Jason Kidd from the Dallas Mavericks is not off the table. In fact, that opportunity “is not completely closed.”

Since Monday, New York being able to hire Kidd is still in the realm of possibility. This is even with the Knicks already being denied by the Mavericks.

Since being hired in 2021, Kidd has led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals twice and the NBA Finals once. Many are expecting Dallas to fight tooth and nail to retain their beloved coach.

New York is moving to their other plans, if they truly can’t secure Kidd. They’ll be interviewing both Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins this week for their open position.

Before adding to their list with Kidd, the Knicks attempted to sway other coaches from their current teams. This includes Billy Donovan, Quin Snyder, Ime Udoka, and Chris Finch. In case anyone is wondering, all of them said no.
