Y'all dudes need to go out and relax/have a good time instead of panicking in this thread every other day.

Blatt's talks with Knicks 'progressing'; Is something close to getting done?

"It's close. Things have progressed since Monday," a source close to Blatt said.

The capacity of Blatt's potential role is unclear, but the notion that he'd join the organization as an assistant to Kurt Rambis may not be of interest to Blatt, which would seem to be the missing piece here.

Rambis could assume his role as a coordinator to Blatt, a role that he mastered under Jackson in Los Angeles, and work with Blatt in instilling the "system of basketball" that Jackson envisions, But it's uncertain if Blatt would be willing to accept an assistant role to Rambis. Blatt, I'm told, would certainly be receptive to Jackson's input and his adaptability is reportedly one of his strengths, if he were, indeed, named head coach.

"Smart people understand and have adaptability," one source said when asked if they thought Blatt could fit into Jackson's "ring of trust."

"Phil and David are both extremely smart individuals. David would make it work."

There are better assistant coaching positions out there. Blatt could fill the vacancy on Steve Kerr's bench that Luke Walton left in Golden State after taking the Los Angeles Lakers job. Blatt was a serious candidate for that role in 2014 before taking the Cavaliers position. He's also rumored to be considering going back overseas, according to international reporter David Pick.

While the capacity remains unclear, what is abundantly clear is that Blatt has made a distinct and significant impression on Jackson, who would be wise to add someone of Blatt's pedigree to the Knicks organization.

Praying this is true.

Blatt

No to Dwight

Lopez is much cheaper, fits the Knicks better and isn't going to be a damn cancer.

Phil really about to strike out on the coaching vacancies.....

I wouldn't read too much into that. They're interviewing everybody. I'm supposed to interview after Blatt, as a matter of fact. The Sacramento front office isn't looking like a place people will want to go. I suspect the homie Patrick is looking just cause he's thirsty to coach anywhere.
