Oh boy. Here we go again. Musical chairs. We can start all over from scratch again next year. That always works out with aging players on max deals. We do NOT have enough to land Durant. OKC does though. He will go home before he comes here. Either that or, somehow LAL will get him. I don't even want him. Why would anyone?

Especially since the Phoenix time suggests that he is not on THAT level anymore despite the numbers and all. We would need to give up a ton of defense (Bridges, OG) in order to trade for him. At 36/37 simply not worth it anymore.

I am just saying we have the pieces to do it. I would even argue we not only had better pieces for Luka (like everyone else), we would have had some of the better pieces for Luka if the Mavs wanted to win now and the knicks wanted to Keep KAT to have a KAT/Luka Duo.

Durant is done as a high impact player, he'll get his stats and all, but he doesn't help you win anymore. They are empty calories. He's been part of two failed superteams, and the Suns are 2 games under .500 now. It's over and I don't know why anyone other than the Warriors would want him.

KD should go to OKC for iHart, a piece and some picks. That would be a fantastic story if they could win one.

Lebron did it first......

LeBron did it in his prime. KD would be doing it at the end of his career. Bookend.

After the Rockets get bounced in the second round with offensive production as the main culptrit they will trade all the Suns picks back to them along with FVV, Whitmore and Reed for KD in the off season.

Their starting line up next season will be
Amen
Green
Eason
KD
Sengun

Durant? How much better does the offense need to get

The key here is a defensive system that maximizes what the team can do best defensively.

Thibs rigid system will look very different (in theory) with a 7footer with elite rim protection patrolling the paint.

Mitch is going to take a few games even when he returns to get fully right out there but man. Thats a big piece for Thibodeau ....


From the other boards apparently Josh hart on the roommates show :
Said aginst a team like cleveland he would be willing to come off the bench because they have a big front court..
Says with Mitch back they are versatile and against certain teams you can start Mitch

This is exactly what I thought all along.

Get this guy in there and mix in some dominant defensive line ups

Good on Josh for knowing who he is and where he would be best.

It's funny how year after year the media and fan opinion of Thibs being inflexible, rigid, not changing with the times, no adjustments and being a fossilized dinosaur seem to be the most unchanging thing ever as Thibs continues to prove those opinions wrong by literally doing the thing they say he can't or doesn't do.

Thibs has the 6th best winning percentage in Knicks coaching history and 5th best playoff winning percentage in Knicks coaching history, taking the team to the playoffs 3 out of 4 full seasons he's been here and on the way to the 4th time. Yet some fans act like he's trash and an idiot, seems like you told on yourself instead.

Perfect coach? Obviously not. The coach that can take them to the finals or over the top? I guess we'll find out but the amount of hate he gets for being one of the hardest workers and a guy who players will run through a brick wall for because how of much they respect him apparently is worthy of contempt.

Criticism in context is understandable and credible but the constant whining and nitpicking is weak ass fugaze stuff....it's Fizdalian fandom.

Thibs is above average but not great IMO. Plenty of NBA coaches would have a similar record with the squad we have. We arguably have the most talented starting 5 in the NBA. I'll change my mind when Thibs can teach these guys how to inbound the ball properly or when he actually draws up decent plays coming out of timeouts.

He's been coaching this same roster the whole time? There's a word for this type of reply but there is also a filter that won't let it through...

Go ahead....Spell it out anyway you want so it doesn't get filtered. Go for it if you feel like insulting me or telling me off for stating my opinion. You're that triggered over my post? Oh no...I said Thibs is above average. How dare I do such a thing! LOL

You replied to my post...who triggered who? It wouldn't be an insult of you but would be an insult of the reply about the starting 5 he's had for 50 games when my post addresses his almost 5 years in NY. Unless all that you are is just your opinions?
