The Knicks were "firmly denied" permission to speak with Hawks head coach Quin Snyder regarding the franchise's coaching vacancy, and Hawks star Trae Young seems happy about that

In turn, Hawks star Trae Young had two words: "Hell nah." Snyder spent eight seasons as the Utah Jazz head coach before coming to the Hawks at the end of the 2022-23 season. In his first two seasons as full-time head coach, Snyder has gone 76-88 and failed to miss the playoffs both times, but there are some promising signs in Atlanta.

The New York Knicks have been an embarrassment for a while, and this offseason is the perfect example. After making the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a quarter century, they opted to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau after they were bounced by the Indiana Pacers in a competitive six-game series.
