We live in a civilized society! Cant have the rabble running things. We need authoritarian figures in charge or we run the risk instability. Some of us care about the order of things.




Did you just get back from the protests in LA? I know you were hoping they'd be a lot more violent so you could try out your new Molotov cocktail recipe. I heard 2012 Guan0 could throw a brick at least 45 yards with a tight spiral :o


I was out in the woods running from bears and getting eaten by bugs for a few days. Im too washed to participate in "peaceful protest" these days.

And honestly ciphering the rumor mill to fit "my agenda" or find the truth doesnt move me like it used to do.

Whatever happens, happens.

Im not going anywhere either way - at least until I get banned so might as well enjoy the ride until then.

But the season doesn't start for 4 months, they have no plan Greenie, can't you see we're 132 days away from next season? TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!!!!!!

This was the same story when the FO didn’t sign any of the scrap heap of centers that were available last summer and folks said Leon and Co had no plan from them to turn around and get KAT before the season started.

Peaceful protests are the suckers move, it's why nothing gets done, but I'm not here to be political, unless it's about the Knicks.

It sounds like you have reached the final level, true Knicks zen. Once they fired Tom, I have no more conflicts, all my battles are done and I have won my wars. I am content and with you in oneness with whatever happens, ohhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm.

Exactly, they'll end up with someone, and we'll give them a chance. If you're good with a coach playing someone 46:30 mins straight against the Hornets, you should be willing to give whoever we sign a chance.

Everyone on Knicks Twitter and here who have their head on a swivel are getting on my nerves.

Leon and the FO don't leak anything, and the media is just digging for the scraps that are coming out. Go back to listening to ESPN and those hacks if that's your cup of tea.

I'm going with the real sources like Begley, KFTV and those who have their feet dug in the Knicks foundation from day 1 of the Rose era.

This is a process and I expect it to go for at least a month in their search. I'm not listening to the hacks and neither should any of you.
BIRD UP!

Oh, my zen will fly out the window in our first SL gamethread when theyre not passing the rock to 3pac enough. Im still me. Just a lil more worn down. Which is why I cant keep up with all this going on with the coaching search.

As to your first paragraph - Viva la revolución!

It’s not the first time, we’ve never fired the coach because a few players didn’t like their role. Obi, Grimes, Fournier, I’m sure there were others. We never cared about their opinions though we just shipped them out since that was easy. There would be nothing easy about a Mikal Bridges trade. Especially when he gives you an ultimatum of either me or the coach. Firing the coach would be an easier pill to swallow than needing to work a Bridges trade knowing his value is nowhere close to what you paid for him and you aren’t in a good place with the salary cap to begin with.


Lol when?!

We got people making up fanfiction now lol


I didn't know Mikal Bridges had more power than Jalen Brunson but here we are.

Hahn also just said that, shockingly, this was building up for the last 3 years starting with when Tom refused to play Fournier and it wasn't Dolan just going George Steinbrenner 1987 mode.

They’ve confirmed Kidd was at the top of our list. And the only moves we’ve made was contacting other teams coaches. It’s pretty clear our plan A is to steal a coach from another team.


so, no.

because, same question. how do you know the bold?

They’ve said who’s our main targets are, which is who we’ve tried to go after. I’m not sure why you think otherwise?

I'm all for fans flexing their creative chops.

Mikal Bridges is the owner of the Knicks. Sounds believable

They previously said not KAT.

Deuce is probably on the list based on his public comments
