5 potential head coach candidates of the New York Knicks

#4 David Blatt

It didn't end well in Cleveland for David Blatt, but the league should give him another chance...

Many people believe that David Blatt didn't get a fair shake in Cleveland when he coached the Cavaliers from 2014 to 2016.

He was fired in the middle of the 2015-16 NBA season even though the Cavs had the best record in the league at 30-11.

Blatt has history with Knicks President Steve Mills as they played basketball together for Princeton.

He was being considered for the job two years ago, but they went with Jeff Hornacek instead.

Even though Blatt was highly successful as a head coach overseas, there is a worry that Blatt has the ability to work with NBA personalities.

"A lack of fit" was the reason that Cavs General Manager David Griffen fired Blatt in 2016.
