Tom Thibodeau responded on Saturday to a report by the New York Daily News that stated there is word the head coach could already have an agreement to become the Knicks' next coach.

"That stuff is ridiculous," Thibodeau said. "First I was being traded. … I couldn't care less about that stuff. I love the fighting spirit of this team. That's all I'm thinking about.''

Thibodeau is in the first season of a four-year contract extension with the Chicago Bulls.
