The Knicks were just granted permission to speak to Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Pablo Prigioni about a position on head coach Mike Brown's staff, according to a tweet from SNY's Ian Begley. Prigioni may be familiar to many fans, considering he played for the Knicks for two and a half seasons, from 2012-13 through part of the 2014-15 season.
Begley noted in his tweet that Prigioni is highly regarded in coaching circles. It would be a big addition to the Knicks' staff, if only considering that it is someone that Brown himself brings on board. It is important for coaches to be able to fill out their own staff, especially so in New York, where the organization has a history of its owner meddling in these sorts of decisions.
