The Knicks are moving on to coaching candidates they don’t require permission to interview from their existing teams.

The Knicks have faced challenges in their attempts to converse with current Mavericks coach Jason Kidd and several other candidates. Consequently, they are set to interview former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins and former Kings coach Mike Brown, as confirmed by a source to The Post on Friday night.

Those meetings are expected to take place at some point next week, The Athletic reported.

Following the dismissal of Tom Thibodeau on June 3, which occurred after the Knicks’ elimination by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, team president Leon Rose’s quest for a new coach has hit a standstill.

Alongside the failed outreach to Jason Kidd, the Knicks have also been unable to engage in discussions with Ime Udoka from Houston, Chris Finch from Minnesota, Quin Snyder from Atlanta, and Billy Donovan from Chicago, as reported by various sources.

Many believe the Knicks plan to circle back eventually on the 52-year-old Kidd, who has two years remaining on his contract, but ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported Friday that the Mavericks “are not interested in further negotiations at all. ‘Don’t even call back,’ is the message that they wanted out there.”

A source told The Post last week that the Knicks and the Hall of Fame point guard had “mutual intrigue” in a potential move.

Former Denver coach Mike Malone, who won an NBA title with the Nuggets in 2023, is also available after getting fired late in the regular season.

The Post also has reported that former Villanova coach Jay Wright is not interested in the position despite the presence of former Wildcat stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges on the roster.

The 40-year-old Jenkins posted a 250-214 mark during six seasons in Memphis, but the Grizzlies only won one playoff series over that span.

He was canned with nine games remaining in the regular season, and the Grizzlies were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Thunder after advancing through the play-in tournament.

The 55-year-old Brown was fired by Sacrmento in December season after leading the Kings to back-to-back 45-win campaigns the previouys two years.

He sports a career record of 454-304 in 11 seasons fronting the Cavaliers, Lakers and Kings, including a trip to the NBA Finals with Cleveland in 2006-07.
