Jason Kidd may be gaining traction as candidate for Knicks’ head coach job

We at P&T headquarters don’t always agree, particularly when it comes to advocating for one of the 11 candidates for Knicks head coach. How do, however, agree on one thing: We do NOT want Jason Kidd.

So guess who’s gaining steam in the head coach race, according to Stefan Bondy?

Stalled contract negotiations with Tom Thibodeau, the favorite for months, has elevated Jason Kidd to a frontrunner, the Daily News has learned.

Kidd, a brilliant Hall of Fame player, is viewed by the Knicks as a conduit to attracting stars, and his relationship with 2021 free agent Giannis Antetokounmpo is a boost.
