The Knicks are strategically navigating their head coaching search, with significant emphasis on candidates like Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins. Both are well-regarded figures, but there's hesitation about moving on from Tom Thibodeau, particularly after his success in the previous season. The front office is under pressure to articulate the rationale behind any coaching change, especially given the lifting of expectations following a strong playoff run. Jason Kidd remains a lingering name, contingent upon his contract status with the Dallas Mavericks.

As the Knicks prepare for the upcoming offseason, discussions have centered on roster adjustments, particularly concerning players like Mitchell Robinson and Mikal Bridges. The potential for trades looms large, with Robinson's injury history complicating his trade value. Meanwhile, the East's landscape is shifting, with injuries to key players like Tyrese Haliburton creating opportunities for teams like the Knicks.
