Knicks Rumors: New York could have competition for Tom Thibodeau

The New York Knicks are expected to consider Tom Thibodeau as a head coaching candidate for next season, but they could have competition from the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets.

According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, New York is expected to have the first chance to interview their former assistant. Berman notes that since the Knicks will be out of the playoff picture, they can start the process of wooing Thibodeau sooner than either Brooklyn or Houston. Of course, the specifics of how the remainder of the 2019-20 schedule, playoff format, and subsequent league calendar will look are still uncertain due to the coronavirus pandemic.
