Who’s the man for the job?
The New York Knicks will more than likely announce a new head coach prior to the NBA draft in June, and now that teams are getting knocked out of the box in the first round, certain coaches that were previously unavailable are now in the midst of becoming free agents. Who will be next to come in and sit down with Donnie Walsh at 2 Penn Plaza about next year’s Knicks team? If Walsh is smart, he’ll be able to balance interviewing multiple candidates, with being able to secure his first choice for the job, before anyone signs with another team.
It is difficult to predict exactly what the Knicks will look like next season. Are they going to run? Are they finally going to attempt to play defense? Much of this hinges on who you have suiting up in orange and blue, but a coach with a vision for the new New York Knicks will only benefit a franchise that has won just 56 games over the past two seasons.

Kenny Smith to meet with Donnie Walsh soon for Knicks GM position
Just sitting at home on a Sunday watching the NBA playoffs on TNT, the conversation in the Atlanta studio quickly shifted from LeBron James and the Cavs to Kenny Smith and the New York Knicks.
After several failed attempts, Ernie Johnson continued to try and pry some info out of Kenny Smith, “Will you confirm the newspaper report from Frank Isola that you will be meeting with Donnie Walsh this week?”
“It’s a good possibility,” Smith finally replied with a not so coy smile, after dancing around other related questions through semantics. Walsh probably knows by now, evasiveness can be a great benefit to any incumbent Knicks GM. Kenny Smith is another former point guard that has two NBA championship rings.
Charles Barkley chimed in predictably, “Hey, let me tell you something. The first thing you do if you [become] GM, go get Benny Hinn. Only God can help that team!”
“No coach, no GM…” Barkley rambled on.
