According to Jonathan Macri of SI.com, Leon Rose’s hiring as president of basketball operations will be finalized this week. However, the more intriguing news is that Tom Thibodeau is said to have a 90% chance of becoming head coach of the New York Knicks.
“One person with knowledge of their thinking put the odds at 90 percent that Thibs will get the job, with Miller staying on in some capacity,” wrote Macri.
This is an interesting development. It was reported earlier that the Knicks would have Thibs on the shortlist, plus the NBA lifer was said to be interested in the job.
