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.

The New York Knicks are conducting active due diligence on Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd among other head coaching candidates in their search to replace Tom Thibodeau, sources told ESPN.
