Don't hype the news and do a space saying you'll tell everyone if you can't

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.

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.
Yea I mean OG was supposed to be worth multiple picks - knicks got him for less because he was a pending free agent, and Quickley had a lot of value.
Bridges was worth a few picks (knicks overpaid by a couple).
Combine them together and it's not terrible value for the bucks - or if it's a 3-4 team trade where younger/better prospects and picks go to the bucks.
It was rumored Memphis was willing to give 4 1sts for Mikal. That was like last year.

Interesting

I know, I'm firing on all cylinders today, my metaphors slap. Like Jason Kidd.

Back in the 00s i would have crawled over hot coals.
And that's all I'll say about that because this is a high class board.
But yeah, this is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
beg pardon ?
It's a new day on here. I'm toning down my thirst posts about middle aged baddies. We all must play our part.
