A key Indiana Pacers coach could be on the move this offseason.
Per Ian Bagley of SNY.tv, current Rick Carlisle assistant coach Mike Weinar has been talking with the loathed New York Knicks about switching sides this summer and serving under new head coach Mike Brown in Madison Square Garden.
Knicks have been in contact with Indiana assistant Mike Weinar to discuss a spot on Mike Brown’s coaching staff, per league sources familiar with the matter. Weinar has worked on Rick Carlisle’s staffs in Dallas and Indiana and is currently a candidate for an opening.

Begley adds that, though Weinar is currently under contract with Indiana and has been with Carlisle since the Dallas Mavericks days, he would be permitted to depart were he earning a promotion (i.e. in terms of his tier as an assistant) and a pay upgrade.
I assume they wohld only let him leave for a promotion and raise
