The New York Knicks aim to build on their recent success after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in over two decades. With a promising core that includes Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges, the team looks poised to contend in a now-competitive Eastern Conference. However, their search for a new head coach continues after parting ways with Tom Thibodeau. Former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown is reportedly leading the candidates to take the helm.

In related news, Rick Brunson, Jalen's father, is expected to remain on the coaching staff, solidifying his influence in the locker room. Jalen's enthusiastic social media reaction underscores the familial connection and support he has within the team, which may bolster the Knicks' morale in the upcoming season. The Knicks must finalize their coaching staff soon to build on their playoff momentum.
