The New York Knicks made an impressive run to the Eastern Conference Finals run during the 2024-25 NBA season. Unfortunately, they ran into a red-hot Indiana Pacers team, which were able to eliminate them in six games.

New York's overtures to engage in talks with Houston Rockets head coach, Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd (a former Knick), Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, and Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan have all been rejected.

Several reports now indicate that the New York Knicks are expected to come up short in their pursuit of Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd as their replacement for Tom Thibodeau. ESPN reported Wednesday morning that Dallas gave a "firm rejection" to the Knicks when they requested permission to talk to Kidd.
