There are rumors that if the Nuggets choose to fire coach George Karl that the Knicks could come calling, according to the New York Post.

Several years ago Karl claimed that he had always wanted to coach in New York, something that might become a possibility within the next few weeks.

There have been reports out of Denver that the team could fire Karl at the end of their season, especially if the Lakers complete a sweep of the Nuggets in their first round series.

"The longer you're with a team, the more people like you and the more people dislike you," Karl told the Rocky Mountain News. "I don't think it's worthwhile to pay attention to that; to de-energize me and waste my energy."
