ORLANDO, Fla. — Kyle O’Quinn didn’t seem surprised that Phil Jackson is no longer the Knicks president. O’Quinn was more shocked that his good friend and teammate Kristaps Porzingis skipped his exit interview, and didn’t necessarily agree with that move.
But O’Quinn said he knew the Knicks were going to make some type of move to shake things up after a disappointing drama-filled season that carried over into offseason.
The Knicks parted ways with Jackson last week after he flirted with the idea of trading Porzingis and reportedly pushed for Carmelo Anthony to be bought out.
“I knew a change was going to be made,” O’Quinn said.
