They have already started...

 

@FisolaNYDN: Lot of NBA people believe John Calipari to the Knicks is already being set into motion. (Not sure how this impacts Rod Strickland)

 

 

I have said it a number of time but I think he would be insane to go to the Knicks. They are a mess and it's only going to get worse with the contracts they have going forward.

 

His ego might get the best of him and lead him back the NBA but I think he would be crazy to take the Knicks job.

No question Cal will listen to the offer. I will not be shocked to see him take it.

Nothing will suprise me.

Yeah, it's not a permanent jump type of move. The coach that ultimately takes that job does so knowing who the management of that team is and knowing he's basically going to take a check and try to get something going out of what they've done in New York. Not a great situation to step into.

Calipari tells Sporting News he'll stay at Kentucky -- but won't avoid attending NBA games merely to quiet rumor mill.

I think he's going to be back in the NBA, probably sooner rather than later, but I would be utterly shocked if it were the Knicks.

For his sake I hope he waits for a better NBA job before he goes. I think the Knicks would end in a similar fashion as his last go-around.

There has to be an itch to return. But given the first attempt I have always wondered what kind of itch there are for NBA teams to have him return? Frankly I have always thought they would like to see more of him at UK before thinking they have enough of a sample size. But who knows.

He should pick up the phone and call Pitino to see how his departure from UK turned out. Rick is probably kicking himself for ever leaving.

I don't think Cal will go anywhere; especially back to the NBA where he failed miserably before.

I'm still thinking that if the Heat don't win Spoelstra comes under fire. IF that job opens up then I'm officially terrified he leaves. He may leave for the Knicks but I'm not seeing it right now.

Rick: "Hello."

Cal: "Hey, buddy. It is Cal, got a question for you?"

Rick: *sigh* "What do you want?"

Cal: "Think I should take this Knicks job?"

Rick: "GO! I would do it." *evil muhahahaha*

Agreed, that is the one I am worried about.

If he leaves then he is one dumb individual. That will be my perception of him. Stupid.

Big Blue Nation, breathe. Relax. Calm down. Enjoy the championship.

 

I just talked to Mike DeCourcy and Andy Katz and they asked me if I was going to jump to the NBA. What?! I We just won the championship a day and a half ago. The only three things I’m trying to decide on is when I’m going to go see a few recruits, how I’m going to get through all these voicemails and when do I get a chance to get some sleep.

But for those of you that need to hear it again, let me repeat what I told Andy and Mike: I’m not going anywhere. I have the best job in the country. Why would I leave after we’ve just won a national title? We’re trying to catch UCLA, folks. I’ve got more money than I’m ever going to need or my family can spend, so I don’t have to make a decision based on finances.

 

Let me assure you that you will see me at NBA games this summer … to watch our former players. I’m not going to give up my lifestyle based on a few rumors, and I will continue to go to NBA games to see my family, friends and former players. I’m even going to a game tonight.
