did New York beating the Celtics raise the front office expectations to a degree that made a future with Thibs untenable?

It’s been nearly a week since the Knicks parted ways with Tom Thibodeau and it still remains a huge question mark who will replace him.

A trade for Durant would certainly change up their roster significantly once more, but it would potentially give them an All-NBA big 3 of Durant, Towns, and Jalen Brunson.

This differs from reports earlier that the Celtics might need to attach draft assets to get off of Holiday's considerable remaining salary.

The Mavericks are in dire need of a point guard with Irving out due to injury, and they could spare a few useful depth pieces in a potential trade with the Celtics.

Joe Mazzulla got a potential look at one of those options on Monday according to EuroHoops.

Collaborated with Spencer Brod The New York Knicks were a train wreck when Tom Thibodeau took over as head coach in July 2020.

"New York is expected to do an exhaustive search that includes coaches at every level, per league sources,"

While there’s no clear frontrunner for the job, a current sitting head coach has reportedly shown some interest in the opening.
