Denials are the freshest New York vibe.

One more day, one more denial?

Knicks for clicks turned Y2K Knicks.

Whatever, wake me up when September ends.

K.C. Johnson

On the Knicks being denied permission to interview Billy Donovan:

“The Knicks requested permission to speak to Billy Donovan for their coaching vacancy but were denied, per sources. The Bulls value Donovan highly for his coaching acumen, communication skills and ability to connect with players and all members of organization.”

Shams Charania

On the Knicks being denied access to Quin Snyder:

“Another one: The New York Knicks have requested permission to speak with Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, but were firmly denied, sources tell ESPN.”

John Calipari

On his commitment to Arkansas amid Knicks rumors:

“I’ve been at Arkansas one year. People are totally committed and committed to me, personally.”

On his current coaching plans:

“I’m coaching at Arkansas.”

On the strength of the Knicks organization:

“They have a great organization, they got a terrific team.”

On the pressure of coaching the Knicks and the opportunity it represents:

“But it’s not for everybody, now. You guys know, coaching the Knicks is like coaching — there’s some college teams, I would say, not for everybody, and that one isn’t for everybody. But you have everything you need to win, and you have New York City. So, someone’s going to get a hell of a job.”

Steve Popper

On the Knicks not pursuing Kevin Durant despite trade chatter:

“BTW, while the coaching search is on – hearing from a league source that despite reports — and his all-time greatness — Knicks are not one of the teams in on Durant.”

Charles Barkley

On the Knicks firing Tom Thibodeau without a clear plan:

“The Knicks gotta be the stupidest damn people in the world. You don’t fire no good coach like that and don’t have a plan. I mean, Thibs did a hell of a job, obviously something’s going on there. … You’ve gotta have a plan, man. … I don’t know what the hell they’re going to do.”

P.J. Carlesimo

On the Knicks’ mindset as an organization:

“The Knicks always think they’re smarter than everybody else, that’s the Knick philosophy.”

On the team’s decision-making:

“They think they’re different and we’re smarter than all these other teams and we know what we’re doing, and I would say they’re normally the opposite. They’re often times their own worst enemy.”

P.J. Tucker

On rumors about his potential retirement:

“Never have (I) mentioned retirement or even given any indication that may be a thing.

“I’m 40 years young 100% healthy, able, and will continue playing the game I’ve dedicated my lief to… HOOPIN!!!!!!”
