Knicks to interview Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer

The Knicks plan to meet with Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Both parties appear ready to move on as the Hawks embark on a massive rebuilding process.

Indications are Budenholzer is upset at losing some personnel power. The Hawks, in turn, likely don’t want to pay Budenholzer for the two years and $13 million left on his pact. Reports are Atlanta still would want draft-pick compensation — which sources said the Knicks are opposed to giving.

Budenholzer spoke last week with the Suns, but ESPN reported Thursday night he pulled his name from consideration.
