The Knicks’ Coaching Crossroads and KD’s Next Chapter | Real Ones

Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard mf’n Beck are back with another Friday edition of Real Ones. Who will be the next head coach of the New York Knicks? After firing Tom Thibodeau and seemingly being denied the opportunity to speak to the head coach of any other franchise in the NBA, what direction will they go in? Does Leon Rose deserve the benefit of the doubt, even though it doesn't seem like he has a real plan? Kevin Durant and the Suns are reportedly working on a trade to his next destination, but what’s the cost for the 36-year-old superstar? KD’s career has also been a bit nomadic. How will his legacy be defined after yet another move? Plus, the mailbag!
