Marc Stein：消息人士指出，在锡伯杜下课后，有两位目前没有赋闲的主教练引起了尼克斯的兴趣：独行侠主教练基德，以及火箭的主教练乌度卡。目前，了解火箭的消息人士称，如果尼克斯对乌度卡提出邀请，会立刻被拒绝。尽管无法立刻确认独行侠是否有如此坚定的立场，预计他们也会做出类似的回应。

基德上赛季率领独行侠挺进总决赛，并在总决赛进行期间和球队续约了两年。当时湖人曾有意聘请他接替刚离任的哈姆。

Two head coaches who are not currently available but said to interest the Knicks, according to league sources, are Dallas' Jason Kidd and Houston's Ime Udoka.

One source with knowledge of the Rockets' thinking told The Stein Line categorically that permission to speak with Udoka would be rejected if the Knicks requested it.

A similar response would be expected from the Mavericks, but a read on their position as conclusive as Houston's could not be immediately confirmed Tuesday night. Kidd has two seasons left on a contract extension he received during last season's playoffs with the Mavericks in the midst of a run to the NBA Finals and with the Los Angeles Lakers expected to show interest in hiring him to replace Darvin Ham.
