Following the disappointing elimination in the last playoffs, New York Knicks took serious measures. The team was eliminated in the Conference Finals but was a favorite to reach the NBA Finals, facing the Indiana Pacers. As a result, the franchise parted ways with Tom Thibodeau.
Thibs' defensive approach did not fully convince the Knicks after a five-year partnership. With Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, both highly offensive and not defensively oriented players, the team needed a new 'head coach' focused on the attack, and found it in Mike Brown.
The former Sacramento Kings coach and two-time NBA Coach of the Year signed with the Big Apple team, and now the hefty sum for his arrival has been revealed.
Mike Brown has inked a deal for 4 years and a whopping $40 million guaranteed! The Knicks' coach will earn $10 million per season, aiming to end the championship drought that has plagued the team for over 50 years.
