The New York Knicks' search for a new head coach hasn't unfolded as quickly as most might of expected. However, it is unfolding and has finally involved a handful of official interviews.

New York had a few plausible paths to pursuing Durant, but all featured some significant hiccup. They could have built a deal around Karl-Anthony Towns, which would have been fairly workable from a cap perspective. However, Suns insider John Gambadoro reported that Phoenix was not interested in a Towns-centric trade.

While ESPN's Brian Windhorst says Suns All-Star Kevin Durant is 'definitely' interested in a move, is it best for the Knicks? Coming off their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years, the Knicks are preparing themselves to make the next step in 2025-26.
