Can confirm @JLEdwardsIII report -- Jordan Brink will coach summer league squad as Knicks form assistant staff under Mike Brown. Hearing a number of coaches will be back - expecting Rick Brunson, Darren Erman, Mo Cheeks to return, possibly more than these four from Thibs staff.
Knicks summer league update: Jordan Brink will be coaching New York in Las Vegas, per multiple league sources. Brink was on Thibs’ staff and largely responsible for one of the best challenge success rates in the NBA. Good, young coach deserving of the role.

Some things I've heard from sources as we move through the day -- this Knicks search was a long process, lot of research to find who fit that went beyond the 4 coaches who were interviewed -- and what Brown brought that fit is leadership and collaboration.

Where was this Monday at 6 p.m. when I really needed it? Anyway, the Knicks can't add anymore toys.
At the 12 minute mark, we simplified the apron . Fun segment.

Oddest part of the Myles Turner deal is that for some reason he was rumored to be available in trades for years, which made no sense, and finally he was a key part to an NBA FInals squad and the Pacers let him go.

Can confirm Knicks sign Sixers Guershon Yabusele to a two-year, $12 million deal. He played well for the Sixers last season. The deal utilizes knicks midlevel exception -- which triggers second apron. Vet minimums left to fill out roster. Have to wonder if another move coming.

While Mike Brown is back for a second interview today, league source indicated that Micah Nori and James Borrego could be coming back for a second interview. Jenkins still possible.
