This is where Leon’s mid-ness as an executive comes into play.
He’s always been overrated to me. It’s showing once again. Especially with Dolan in the fray.

it might not be there plan A. It could just be part of there entire plan. An extensive search looking at current HC, top assistance coaches, and even college coaches.
We are the only team looking for a HC so there is absolutely no rush go down the list to find out all our potential options.
I mean it could be the case but I find it hard to believe with Leon and WWW being so connected in the league thinking all there top options were reliant on other teams letting us take there coaches.
Aller obsesses over marginal value, which should be refreshing for Knicks fans who remain traumatized from teams of the past needlessly tossing first-round picks into the fireplace. He wants to hold onto picks and acquire others. He notoriously squeezes teams just for the draft rights to an extra player, something that’s far more trivial to most others.
...
[the Knicks are] known for haggling over details so minute that, at times, trade partners have relented just to end the conversation and get the deal done. Why do the draft rights to this 27-year-old dude picked 47th seven years ago matter, anyway?
New York’s front office approaches trade discussions in different stages. The Knicks are known for calling other teams and throwing loads of concepts at them, trying to gauge the opposing organization’s priorities and who it may or may not like.
Think of those situations as brainstorming sessions, not negotiations. The Knicks aren’t making hard offers at that time, and they’re not looking for whomever they’re conversing with to say yes or no. Instead, they want to witness what reaction their concepts inspire.
In one phone call, they may mention more than half their roster, and if the details of that discourse were to trickle out, it could sound like the Knicks were making offer after offer to one team. But in reality, sometimes, they are just tossing hypotheticals at other executives to see what sticks.

Like we did with Woodson and replaced him with this guy
Bring Derek home, hide your wives. Nothing will inspire the players drive to win more than dirty Mack Derek plotting on their women for poor performance.

Was Derek fisher still our coach when Matt Barnes drove all the way to beat his ass?

He was, look at how much that motivated Matt, and he wasn't even playing for us. Bring Dirty Derek home, he'll have these dudes playing hard. You think KAT wants him anywhere near Jordyn?

Because they think Bryant is going to play Hukporti and Kolek 30 plus minutes a night and they'll develop into all stars. Just like when people believed Frank Ntilikina was the second coming of Walt Frazier.

Yep. Dolan apparently never liked him. He fired Thibs prematurely with no replacement lined up. I can’t believe that our main plan is trying to steal other team’s head coaches. To me that shows this was all done prematurely.
