Add two more names to the New York Knicks' head coaching interview list.

The Knicks will meet with former Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt in Europe next week, and will meet with San Antonio Spurs assistant James Borrego once the Spurs are eliminated from the postseason, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ian Begley.

Blatt coached the Cavs to an 83-40 record and a Finals appearance in parts of two seasons before being fired halfway through the 2015-16 campaign. He's currently the head coach for Darussafaka of the Turkish League, and most recently coached them to the 2018 EuroCup championship.

Borrego has served on the Spurs' staff since 2015, which came on the heels of a 30-game interim head coaching stint with the Orlando Magic.

The Knicks are also reportedly considering Mike Budenholzer, Jerry Stackhouse, David Fizdale, Mark Jackson, David Blatt, Mike Woodson, and Kenny Smith for their coaching vacancy.
