CHICAGO – Knicks GM Steve Mills huddled with Scottie Pippen for about 15 minutes Thursday at the draft combine to gauge the legendary Bull’s interest in potentially working for the organization in some capacity, possibly as an assistant coach, according to an NBA source.

Knicks president Phil Jackson, stung by the Steve Kerr rejection, would have interest in Pippen in some capacity, depending on who is hired as head coach. Pippen, a student of the triangle offense, has the title of adviser with the Bulls.

When asked by The Post about potentially working with Jackson, Pippen said, “I haven’t talked to Phil. I have to wait until that time comes. Right now nothing’s out there. I’m not going to say whether I’m interested or not until it happens.’’

Jackson was in town Thursday, but did not show up at the gym where the players staged their workouts.

Pippen once called Kerr his favorite teammate. Kerr was with Pippen for three of the Bulls’ championships.

“I was a little bit surprised,’’ Pippen said of Kerr not taking the Knicks job. “I thought the familiarity working with Phil, able to run the offense, having Phil there to mentor him as much as possible, made it a bit of a surprise. I think at the end of the day, Golden State is probably the better team. They have a lot more upside.

The last comment pretty much guarantees he will not be involved with the Knicks in any way.

Forgot all about him as a candidate. Maybe because of the hatred I had for him as a player

Yeah, I'd rather keep Herb the snitch.

True Scotty is one of the best 2 way players he just seemed to enjoy needling Patrick. One thing that comes down is in the playoffs and Patrick was down on the court and Scotty kind of stradled over him so he was looking up at his balls. I'm sure someone can find the video.
Another instance is Scotty joking telling Patrick at the 50 greatest ceremony that this was players who had rings.

Ewing was offered the chance to coach the Dleague team and turned it down. I don't recall any other team offereing him a head coach job anywhere else?

I never thought it would be a good idea to have him on the bench as a coach. Frustrated fans would chant for his promotion during losses.

Exactly. He needs to move on to work for the league and leave the Knicks alone. He is too buddy buddy with Dolan.

Pippen was drafted in a pick we traded to get Gerald Henderson.

So in a way, Pippen is a "REAL" knick!
