June 13: TA famous reporter Sam Amick reported on the situation where the Knicks fired coach Thibodeau and looked for a new coach.

Amick said in the article: "The Knicks fired the team's most successful coach in the past twenty-five years, but did not expect a realistic successor... After deciding to fire Thibodeau, the Knicks tried to interview other teams' current head coaches many times and were rejected. All this was futile. I have never seen this in the league."

"The Knicks are all very capable and widely respected coaches. But the Knicks chose to search in such a bold way, which is enough to show how ridiculous this matter is. They parted ways with Thibodeau early, creating historic successive victories when Thibodeau led the team and had at least $30 million in contracts. Perhaps the only way to save him is to win."

" About Thibodeau Rumors that Du was in trouble had appeared long before the playoffs, and the storm was rampant, and some people even called me to ask about it. But some people around Thibodeau said that if the Knicks really did such a reckless move, they would be shocked. Others on the Knicks insisted that everything was OK. Especially after they beat the Pistons in the first round and the defending champion Celtics in the second round. "

" This is not the first time the coach has faced such a potential situation of being so desperate, but unlike Budenholzer in 2021, the latter finally won the championship. Thibodeau was in danger after entering the playoffs. Three days after being eliminated by the Pacers in the East Finals, Thibodeau was fired in a shocking way. Now, the entire league is paying attention to the chaos that followed the Knicks. "
