Carlisle, the longtime NBA head coach, has received endless praise over the offseason as he's helped lead the Pacers through the Eastern Conference and now to a lead in the NBA Finals over the league's best regular season team. Barkley's only kidding, but with how the Knicks have went about their coaching search, don't put anything past them.

Brian Windhorst drops the hammer on any potential trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the near future as he claims Kevin Durant to Knicks move will be "messy".

Charles Barkley joked about the Knicks' coaching search strategy by making a direct reference to the Pacers' head coach Rick Carlisle.

Giannis has been exceptionally loyal to the Bucks, and it seems like he’s staying on brand. Still, Milwaukee’s inflexibility and lack of top-end talent around the two-time MVP are impossible to ignore. Don’t pencil him into the Bucks’ opening-night starting five just yet. We have a lot of offseason left.
