However, not everyone is a fan of the hiring. Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague insinuated on his Club 520 Podcast that he isn’t impressed with the Knicks’ coaching decision. “l ain't never really heard too many people like Mike Brown,” Teague said. “ I ain’t saying they don’t, I just never heard nobody sing high praises for Mike Brown.”

“Phoenix and now New York — after the hiring of Mike Brown as the Knicks' new head coach — have expressed interest in trying to hire Darvin Ham away from the Bucks, The Stein Line has learned," wrote Stein.

Ian Begley says, Mike Brown signed a four-year, $40 million deal with the New York Knicks. The deal signals a huge investment.
