Per Matt Moore of CBSSports.com, "Kerr was thought to be too far in discussions with New York to pull out, especially given his relationship with Jackson. It leaves the Knicks without their pirimary option who Jackson had spoken with several times over the past few months, dating back to before Jackson joined the Knicks officially." Here's Fox Sports Radio with the contract terms:
