The Knicks suffered three straight brutal losses prior to the All-Star break.

Sometime after that losing streak, sources say, Knicks owner James Dolan communicated to Leon Rose that any decision made on Tom Thibodeau’s future was up to Rose.

It was clear then that finances wouldn’t be a factor in any decision Rose had to make on Thibodeau, as noted on SNY’s The Putback.

Thibodeau has at least one guaranteed season remaining on his five-year contract. Eating the money would not be an issue to Dolan.

According to a report from Bleacher Report on Wednesday, Rose will not fire Thibodeau at season’s end. The report stated that Thibodeau will coach the team at the start of the 2022-23 season and noted that Dolan gave Rose the leeway to make the decision.

This was not independently confirmed by SNY, but several sources familiar with the dynamic around the club expected Thibodeau to be back next season.

The Knicks enter play Thursday at 29-40, 5.0 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the 10th seed in the East. This season is a step back from last year, when New York finished 41-31 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Thibodeau won the NBA’s Coach of the Year Award.

There are many factors behind the Knicks’ struggles this season – injuries, subpar performance from players, Thibodeau and his staff, and the front office.

Where you point the finger is a matter of opinion.

It’s worth noting that Dolan has been consistent in largely staying out of major basketball decisions over the past eight seasons. When the owner hired Phil Jackson to run the Knicks in 2014, he acknowledged that he erred in the past by involving himself in basketball decisions.

Dolan vowed to give Jackson the freedom to make his own decisions. Jackson seemed to make decisions without influence or interference from the owner.

Dolan seemingly took the same approach with former president Steve Mills; he now appears to be doing the same with Rose.
