Breaking: Tom Fired

[thebuzzardman]

if Kidd brings Giannis with him, then I guess that could be something. Not a huge fan of Kidd but he did get better as a coach over the years it seems.

Maybe the Knicks can get Luka to play next to Brunson so Kidd can look impressive again.

He does well with two elite playmakers....so few coaches can unlock that....

[Jeff Van Gully]

There was a physical altercation with a player not named 2 years ago. Likely Randle.

word?

yeah. my money on randle being one of the combatants. but if so, who would the other have been during the first semifinals run?

wait… josh hart. don’t know why that took me so long.

they said it was a player and a coach...

ah ok. i misunderstood.

then rick brunson is def the coach

and i like obi or randle as the player.

They’re looking to get a star player while keeping KAT

I mean if you want Giannis KAT with him makes the most sense for spacing.

So OG and Mikal would have to be going out.

Brunson
Deuce
?
Giannis
KAT?

[Strick]

KAT buying his way to stay with gifts to the players. Chess not checkers

On a serious note, he is super likable. If he stays I really hope it works out

[JayTWill]

i think a lot of them find it sudden and unfair at face value, which i can understand.

but they nor we know what was said behind those closed doors. all i can do is wait and see if we do better.

but the chatter never matters. agree or not.

Monica McNutt kept it real. On ESPN today, she explained it from the perspective that the team had outgrown Thibs.

And yet the candidate pool for replacements seem to be a bunch of player development focused coaches. I don’t buy it - we’re hiring an established NBA coach or it was a big mistake.

What's wrong with a developmental coach? We are probably going to need some of the younger guys to contribute and wouldn't mind if KAT learned how to set a screen or if Brunson learned how to run a 2 man game or if OG learned how to dribble and chew gum or if Mikal learned how to fight over a screen again or if Hart or Mitch developed a single reliable skill outside of rebounding

But seriously if we keep this roster together we are going to need them to be better players than they have shown themselves to be this past season. With the limited assets the team has to improve they will need to find a way to squeeze every bit of juice out of the roster from making better use of the players together to individual improvements of the players. Thibs was an established coach and far from a developmental guy.

JJJ

KAT
JJJ
OG
Someone
Brunson


Not stated. My baseless speculation

[DaGawd]

Even if there's some backdoor agreement between Knicks/Giannis/Kidd

Knicks already kissed that possibility goodbye when they gave up all their firsts for Bridges. Fax.

not necessarily.. giannis could always try his hand at string arming his way here

OG and Mikal aren't even all-stars !! so sounds surreal to be given Giannis...

[mpharris36]

there looking to get a star player and they are looking to keep KAT...that is very interesting to note.

How

As of last year...Mikal and OG were basically worth 7 1st round picks between each other.

The idea that the value has changed a lot since just 1 year has always been wild to me.

Mfer where you goin? You’re not shams.

[thebuzzardman]

Brunson
Giannis
Towns

With no other good starters and a sh*t bench.

there looking to get a star player and they are looking to keep KAT...that is very interesting to note.

How

I supposed a 4-way trade where OG, Mikal (to MEM?), Mitch (to LAL?), and some picks (WAS 1st, swaps, 2nd rounders) go out and Giannis comes back here, leaving you with a big 3 of KAT, Giannis and Brunson. Then you hope guys like Hart and the rest of the minimum guys can fill in roles because there won't be much left to add more talent beyond that.

[TheGreenArrow]

Bke mentioning Jason Kidd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bombshell that they’re dropping is all of us getting fired for listening to this during work hours.
