If there was any misdirection it was for Kidd's sake, not ours. Ie floating leaving so they'd let him hire Triano.

Generally I'd say more, but the amount of boredom and disinterest generated by the fact that the next coach is likely Kidd has me picking the under.

Kidd? Now that’s a downgrade. Rather the unknown in Bryant

If they do that, then they've contradicted themselves with that statement. Kidd is a downgrade as well but if it brings Giannis then I'm okay with this.

Almost the entire fanbase wants Bryant. The fans don't care about any other candidates. They don't need to do a smoke screen

you mean on this board maybe? I dont think the casual knick fan knows or understand Bryants value. Am I missing something Gravy?

Leon trying to take Jason Kidd away from the Mavs as part of a conspiracy to secretly hire Bryant does not make much sense to me, but who knows what they do..

Why would you need misdirection at this point? With PHX hiring there coach is there another team in the NBA with a coaching vacancy?

Having talks with other coaches without being splattered in the news. If they say no, not being news. There a many reasons. I just don't understand going for Kidd after firing Thibs, why not Malone then?

Malone is too much like Thibs...

I really don't get this Kidd thing. How many championships has Kidd won as a head coach? I don't see the Knicks getting 6 games better with him...

Bryant is Red Holzman for some reason but nobody brings up that the Suns interviewed him and went with other Cavs assistant. The next guy is going to fix KAT's defense, fix Mikal's shot, install the best offense in the NBA, turn the bench into the Pacers bench, and with no flaws of their own. This is a lot of expectations.

I said it would take 11 seconds for fans to hate the new Knicks coach and I was wrong, it will be 11 seconds after hearing the rumor of who told by media, it won't take as long as actually getting hired for the agendas to begin.

I think Bryant is the only guy who gets a leash, that is until he does one little thing that a fan doesn't like such as substitution, inbound play or missed time out, then he sucks, too, who needs to be fired. Since Knick fans are so reasonable.

How do you know that Bryant didn't remove himself from the running for the PHX job once Leon fired Thibs, thus giving the job to Ott? Leon moves in silence, we won't know until the dust settles.
