League sources tell @JakeLFischer and me, as covered in the story below, that the Knicks have interest in hiring James Borrego as Mike Brownβs top assistant β¦ but sources tell me New Orleansβ preference is that Borrego stays as Willie Greenβs top assistant.
League sources say Denver recently sought permission to interview James Borrego for the top spot on David Adelmanβs bench. That request was denied since such a move was deemed βlateral.β
The Pelicans naturally granted New York permission to interview Borrego for its HC vacancy.
