The New York Knicks are searching for a new head coach after firing Tom Thibodeau. They're exploring unconventional options, namely trading for coaches currently under contract with other teams.
The Knicks have reportedly expressed interest in Ime Udoka (Houston Rockets), Chris Finch (Minnesota Timberwolves), and Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks).
Trading for a coach is difficult because it requires the cooperation of both teams. The Houston Rockets have already stated they are unwilling to trade Ime Udoka. While there's mutual interest between the Knicks and Jason Kidd, securing permission for an interview remains a challenge.
The Knicks' pursuit of a new coach is complex and faces significant hurdles. The success of trading for a high-profile coach remains uncertain.
