It seems that everyone has an opinion about who the next Knicks coach should be. Few opinions, however, should carry as much weight as the one that could be delivered Saturday when Kristaps Porzingis meets with Knicks management.
Unlike last year when he skipped out on his meeting with then-team president Phil Jackson, Porzingis is expected to attend this year’s exit interview. Even though he is injured and not expected back until next calendar year, the power forward is still the only true superstar on the team and the guy the Knicks plan to build around.
Knicks president Steve Mills and general manger Scott Perry were asked in their news conference Thursday if Porzingis was going to have a say in who replaces Jeff Hornacek as the head coach.
