According to Ian Begley of SNY, Rick Brunson is going to be an assistant coach with the New York Knicks.
Hiring Brunson to fill the void left by Payne gives the Knicks what should be a seamless transition on the bench; Brunson has a deep history with both Thibodeau and the organization and has vast experience in player development.
Brunson was also one of the first clients of team president Leon Rose when Rose was a player agent at CAA.
