Ever since Tom Thibodeau was hired by the Knicks in 2020, he has completely turned the franchise around. Under his leadership, they ended a seven-year playoff drought and made it to the postseason in four of the last five seasons. He also led the New York team to their first Conference Finals since 2000. But despite the clear impact, there is one big question on everyone’s mind – Can Thibodeau lead the Knicks to the ultimate goal of winning a championship?
Well, he was unable to do so this year, as his team was sent packing by the Pacers in six games. That’s why many speculate the Knicks front office could consider parting ways with the head coach this summer, and look for a new voice in the locker room. However, amid the rumors, veteran insider Shams Charania made the front office’s stance clear about Thibodeau’s future, “I’m told the Knicks have internal meetings this week to evaluate everything from the roster, different changes they could make around everything.”
He continued, “Tom Thibodeau called it a very important offseason coming up and this is a team that has won 50 games plus in consecutive seasons for the first time since the early 90s. 4 of his 5 seasons as head coach, they’ve made it to the playoffs. So, it’s been a successful run. Jalen Brunson is fully supportive. That front office is fully supportive of Tom Thibodeau as well, but I do expect them to be very active and aggressive on the roster.”
