Wednesday, June 8

On Wednesday, Ian Begley of ESPN.com, citing sources, reported, "[The Knicks] are in negotiations with [Rambis] on a new contract for a position on [Hornacek's] coaching staff." He continued:

"

Hornacek has signed off on adding Rambis to his staff, sources say, and while Rambis still had one year remaining on his current contract, the sides decided to negotiate a new deal.

Sources say that the decision to hire Rambis was made ultimately by Hornacek. "Nothing is being forced down Jeff's neck," one source with knowledge of the dynamic said, in reference to the idea that team president Phil Jackson would force Hornacek to hire Rambis. Sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that Hornacek had initially discussed the job with Rambis a few weeks ago but Rambis did not immediately accept, telling Hornacek that he should take time to really think through his staff and what he needed before making this decision.
