CLEVELAND — Knicks president Steve Mills said point guard Frank Ntilikina and Willy Hernangomez are keepers. He also dampened speculation about Jeff Hornacek’s immediate future, saying he’s not being judged by a won-loss record, though the Brooklyn victory was a sign the coach was on the right track.
“Jeff, Scott [Perry] and I are in this together,” Mills said.
In a State of the Knicks Address at Quicken Loans Arena, Mills essentially indicated the Knicks have no interest in dealing either Ntilikina or Hernangomez in an Eric Bledsoe deal.
After an 0-3 start that followed an 0-5 preseason, speculation started mounting about Hornacek’s future.
