Team record: Lao Pu stayed in the Timberwolves due to family reasons. Knicks new goal is Clippers assistant coach O Connor

Knicks reporter Ian Begley reported on the latest progress in the team's search for assistants.

Previously, the Knicks were allowed to talk to Timberwolves assistant coach Prigioni, but sources told him that Lao Pu decided to stay in the Timberwolves due to family reasons. The Knicks' latest goal is Clippers assistant coach Brendan O'Connor, who is very capable on the defensive end. Begley also pointed out that even if the Knicks successfully poached O'Connor to coordinate the defense, they are likely to find an assistant coach to coordinate the offense.
