There are some of you mfers that never believed or even gave them a chance, always doubted nearly every move and yea, there was sometime this season for about 30 seconds you did think anything was possible but now you're right back to hating and baiting.

It sounds like a long shot. This is what he said on his last article

The Knicks, upon taking the step of formally asking Dallas for permission to speak to Kidd, need to know they have a true shot at hiring him away.

What will actually happen if the Knicks do formally lodge that request?

There is a belief among some within the Mavericks' organization that the Knicks will ultimately decide against taking the step of asking.

As I reported Saturday, I have likewise heard from a few well-placed skeptics who believe that the Knicks would be immediately shot down if they do ask.

Is that why the Knicks haven't asked to this point? Possibly.

Nevertheless …

New York is one of the league's foremost headline-making franchises and happens to boast the only current coaching vacancy in the league. So it's no surprise that the noise surrounding the "mutual intrigue" between the Knicks and Kidd, as my former ESPN teammate Brian Windhorst described it during a TV appearance he made Monday, only seems to get louder.

What can turn the volume down on that noise?

From my seat? Only two things.

1. The Mavericks could let it be known firmly, on or off the record, that Kidd is not available to any other team since he is under contract for the next two seasons. (Like we learned with the Rockets and their don't-even-try-it stance with Udoka in this story I published last Tuesday.)

2. The Knicks could let it be known, on or off the record, that they are not going to pursue Kidd or have begun to focus on someone else.

Neither has happened yet.

What about the draft compensation angle?

We're simply not there yet.

It is believed that the Knicks would have to surrender some form of future draft compensation to extricate Kidd or any coach under contract from their existing deal. It's obviously a fascinating angle — especially in the New York/Dallas case given all the recent animus between the clubs in the wake of Brunson's contentious free agency in the summer of 2022 — but it's not the most pressing question. Yet.

My guess is: Kidd knows it was an inside job that Mavs 'lucked' into the #1 pick. Kidd's basically telling them let me go where I choose or I go public.

Or as someone else brought up...Mavs with Kyrie down and AD getting older and fairly injury prone decide to go full rebuild as Flagg and AD not on same timeline

Some skepticism will always be warranted with this regime. They ran back elf. That in of itself is enough to always be a lil cautious. But they've made other mistakes that dont need listed. But I think its safe to assume they have a plan(s) in place. And maybe the plan was they just didnt think they could win a chip with thibs and had to see what other avenues were available. Which if thats the case would suck. All that said they also deserve some grace which were very generous at handing out.

STATUS REPORT:

Written by MDB.

Published on June 10th, 2025.

It has been 6 days since Tom Thibodeau has been dismissed.

The Knicks Fandom is awash with many emotions as the departure of a beloved, yet polarizing figure has sent shockwaves through many. Some are relieved. Others are processing their grief. The fact remains, the ship is entering uncharted territory.

No replacement has been named, as the Knicks organization remains tight lipped. Some believe it's because they already have picked their coach. Some believe they haven't and are flailing in the wind.

This analyst's objective study has led to one simple conclusion:

No one knows anything.

Wild and baseless speculation runs rampant.

Panic ensues with every new tweet that says a lot of nothing.

Posters have threatened to post entire substack articles as mods rush in to prevent DMCA strikes that run the risk of toppling the RealGM empire.

Adam Silver awakens with heartburn as no one is watching the NBA Finals and all the click baiters are locked in to fueling the paranoia and anxiety of Knicks fans.

As we begin the 7th day of the Post Thibslamic Era, the only advisable course of action is to remain patient and let the future chain of events unfold, as the fanbase has no control over the situation.

This analysis also includes evidence of Giannis Antetokounmpo falling and busting his ass while visiting children in Brazil

You know what's fascinating about this?

If this were the NFL, and two small market teams were vying for the championship, the ratings would be through the roof.

Like Green Bay vs Kansas City for instance. If that's the Superbowl match up in a few months (god this year is already nearly over), people all across the country would lap that up like pigs at a trough.

But OKC vs Indiana in the NBA? Crickets.

I'm sure Adam Silver is wondering how can he make the NBA "market proof" like the NFL is.

Also could be posturing from Mavs. They just trying to hold out any leverage they have by trying to get some kind of compensation for him.

Kidd has been a HC for a minute it's either you want him to be your coach or you don't. The Mavs allowing him to talk to us is basically saying they have agreed on compensation when we do officially hire him.

It's why you probably havent even heard of guys getting interviewed yet while we "wait".

Also league probably wants this **** done after the finals since it's already getting **** ratings and don't want ESPN and all the media talking about the hire rather there Finals.
