The New York Knicks reportedly reached out to the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves for permission to speak with head coaches Ime Udoka and Chris Finch, respectively, but were denied by both teams.

Finch just finished his fifth season as the Wolves' head coach, and he seemingly loves everything about Minnesota, so it might need to be a lucrative deal to pull him away — which is something that the Knicks could theoretically offer.
