Knicks Have 'Checked In' on Former No. 1 Overall Pick During Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has been an interesting offseason thus far for the New York Knicks as they try to upgrade their roster and improve after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

Despite not having a head coach, the Knicks need to make some moves. After losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, it became clear that New York needs more quality depth. A new report has suggested that the team has found a quality piece to add to its puzzle.

The New York Knicks are hiring Mike Brown as their next head coach, and they reportedly have someone in mind they would like him to hire. The Knicks have had a lengthy coaching search since firing Tom Thibodeau on June 3 after losing in the Eastern Conference finals.
