A league source confirmed that Knicks requested and received permission from the Hawks to talk to Budenholzer, who is under contract with Atlanta for two more years.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Budenholzer would meet with Knicks officials this weekend. The paper also said Hawks GM Travis Schlenk hasn’t ruled out Budenholzer returning to the Hawks. But it appears the two sides are ready to move on from each other.
