The New York Knicks are entering a crucial offseason following a frustrating playoff exit in the Eastern Conference Finals. New York reacted to this by firing long-time head coach Tom Thibodeau, sending the organization into a search for a new leader.

The New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau despite a run to the Eastern Conference Finals and back-to-back 50-win seasons for the first time in 30 years. It was a head-scratching move for many people, but apparently, a few top players weren't pleased with the coaching direction of the team.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon won't rule out Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd bolting for the Knicks, even if it seems unlikely right now.
