Johnson

It’s an interesting title for a player famously known as Grandmama. Johnson is certainly well known in New York by Knicks fans, and now we’ll all get to see what he provides in a front office role. He’s expected to speak with the media before Sunday’s Knicks game.

"(Johnson) was interested but, at this point, I don’t think it’s a possibility any longer,” Thibodeau said on WMVP-AM radio Friday. We’re not sure why Thibodeau’s not interested in hiring Grandmama, but the search is still on for Pete Myers’ replacement.

Terry Porter is another possibility for the Bulls, and while we haven’t heard much from ‘Grandmama’ since he retired in 2001, when he and Thibodeau were both with the Knicks during the Jeff Van Gundy era, it would be nice to have him back in the league.
