Failed to choose a coach! The Knicks were rejected five times! It became the biggest joke in the NBA

There is a team that has become a joke in the entire league during the coach selection process, that is, the Knicks! After firing Thibodeau, the Knicks have been looking for a new coach. Just look for it, the Knicks like the current head coach. NBA regulations: If you want to interview a working head coach, you must obtain the nod of the coach's team.

The Knicks first applied for interview with Mavericks coach Kidd, but the Mavericks did not give him a chance at all and refused to allow the Knicks to interview. The Knicks did not give up and applied for interviews with Uduka (Rockets), Finch (Timberwolves), Snyder (Hawks) and Donovan (Bulls), all of which were rejected by their team.

According to NBA famous reporter Sam Amick, there are several coaches in the league that the Knicks have never considered. They are: Pacers coach Carlisle, Warriors coach Cole, Bucks coach Rivers, Clippers coach Tyron Lu and Lakers coach Redick. Some media used O'Neal's free throw to tease the Knicks' process of choosing coaches.

Currently, there are many famous NBA coaches at home: former Nuggets coach Mike Malone, former Suns coach Budenholzer and Vogel, former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins, former Pistons coach Monty Williams, former Kings coach Mike Brown... Some fans commented: It really doesn't work, the Knicks will invite former coach Thibodeau back.

The Knicks didn't consider so many unemployed head coaches, but they wanted to poach and find ready-made ones. The Knicks' behavior made many fans think of Cao Cao: I don't want to be single, I only like married people! Question Cao Cao, understand Cao Cao, and become Cao Cao. Other teams are not fools, why should they give up their head coach to the Knicks?

The Knicks' selection of handsome guys is like a headless fly, ramming around everywhere. NBA commentator Barkley said: "The Knicks are definitely the stupidest team in the world. They have no plans to choose a coach! Brother, you must have a plan before doing anything." Another reporter said: "The Knicks are like I confessed in high school, and I have never succeeded."

These head coaches have contracts. Even if the Knicks pass the interview, how should they dig it up? Very simple: Transaction! In NBA history, there have been at least 4 head coach trades. The closest time to us was Kidd: On June 30, 2014, the Bucks used two second round picks to get head coach Kidd from the Nets' trade.

Of course, the premise of the transaction is that the original team is willing to let people go. The problem now is that the Knicks have asked about five teams, but the other party doesn't even give interview opportunities, let alone subsequent transactions. Next, the Knicks will change their thinking and consider Jenkins and Mike Brown who are unemployed at home, but there is no progress yet.

Thibodeau became the head coach of the Knicks in the summer of 2020. He coached for five years in the Knicks. Thibodeau led the team to the playoffs four times: one stops in the first round, two stops in the second round, and one stops in the Eastern Conference Finals. The regular season record is 226 wins and 174 losses, with a winning rate of 56.5%. The playoff record is 24 wins and 23 losses, with a winning rate of 51.1%.

Finally welcome to discuss: Do you think the Knicks can find a more suitable coach than Thibodeau?
