We'll be under the 2nd apron when the next season starts on July 6th and renounce the rights to a lot of the guys on the last year of their deals.


Perfect. The money pretty much matches for a 1 for 1 swap.

Karl is my guy but Joker - Brunson is a championship pairing

Malone from Queens too, grew up a Knick fan, and a championship caliber coach
This would be a big get


Fate. This is fate.

Tom will be praised for building the culture and structure. Now let a homegrown guy take us to the promised land

Is he? The Nuggets, well the championship Nuggets played a lot different offensively than we do now.

I admit tho I haven't watched much of them since their Finals run.

Westbrook ruined the lakers that year. And they made melo the scapegoat and forced him to retire when he was still solid. It's crazy that teams are still taking chances on Westbrook.

Malone is essentially a little better version of thibs. If we are moving on from thibs down the road I want a younger up and coming coach.

Things happen. Last season it was "Why would the Wolves trade KAT?"

Who is Joker's agent?

I forgot about him! He works for Kenny's staff in Cleveland, no doubt soaking up all of that knowledge. Aw man

Yeah let's bring Bryant back home

He also knows a lot of our guys since he was here before...so it would be an easy transition.

I think Tom saves his job if we push the 2nd round match up to a hard fought series

If we get swept out of the playoffs, he's done.

The window that we have right now with Brunson playing for a discount means that nothing short of excellence can be tolerated

IMO we absolutely have to win round 1 and really push the Celtics but that’s just me. We have to remember that thibs and Leon are friends. We’ve also paid every damn caa guy that’s come through here so where does the buddy stuff end and the basketball begin???. At some point we need a basketball gm and not an agent looking to get his guys paid in the from office. We’ve been used up for 5 going on 6 years now.

Yeah, these 50 win seasons, big trades, solid drafts , good players who value sharing the ball thing sucks. Fire Leon Rose!

I'm a Malone fan, but how much of an upgrade would he be over Thibs? They're cut from the same clothe. Mike doesn't trust young guys over vets. Because of Jokic, I really can't decide what schemes he runs on D and offense.
