Breaking: Tom Fired

[god shammgod]

Jenkins intrigues me as well.

he's like the opposite of thibs but in the worst way to me. plays too many guys. limits his best players minutes unnecessarily. does small ball lineups and gets killed on the boards.

he also gives up a lot of 3s which i guess is similar

[god shammgod]

This is probably the last coach move Leon Rose gets to make so I do wonder if he'll take a chance on anyone without NBA head coach experience.

yep. when you fire the coach you move yourself to front of the line on the chopping block if it doesn't work out.

Besides Malone, how many former NBA head coaches are out there which would be attractive to go after?

He has Bryant in the building for 3 years. He knows what dude can do.

[Monk1718]

I think it’s Bryant. The timing of that phoenix news yesterday points to this in my opinion.

Leon and Co are GOATED. They got a lot of more moves to make.

Relax bro.

This is the same guy that re-signed Burks and Noel and needed to use a bunch of 2nds to dump them on Detroit less than a year later.

Or the same guy that signed Fournier and Kemba.

He’s average at best. Let’s not act like he’s Sam Presti.

[Im Coming Home]

I'll take JVG or Bryant or even Hurley.

I like what Hurley brings, his teams pass, shoot 3s and rebound well which is perfect for this roster.

I like what Bryant brings, he has the potential to be a long time Knicks head coach if it worked out too. We could be set for the next 20 years if it did.

I like JVG too, defensive minded but not as rigid a thinker like Thibs.

This is wildly homophobic and just terrible in general.

Letting Bryant go was a mistake and getting him back would be great.

We had Kenny Atkinson on our bench before he went to the Nets and had success there and it felt like we f'd up, this is a chance for us not to screw up again.

I think he's better than average. He built the most talented Knicks roster in the last 40+ years. (Ewings teams were never this talented on paper) Obviously didn't work out in year 1 in terms of winning a title but who knows most teams need a few years to gel before it works out.

I don't think we let him go. He went off for another opportunity. Not much you can do if you aren't offering him the HC job.

Touche. I moreso just meant like allowing him to go elsewhere. I think he could've been brought in for Thibs last year. But it's ok he got to learn under Atkinson for a year and now he can come back.

[Madskillzz024]

Thibs gone might help with us luring some bench players this summer

[Im Coming Home]

kenny atkinson did worse against indy than we did

That's fine but he's a damn good coach. 2 tenures(he only got fired from Nets because they started star phucking). And both times he's had tremendous impacts. I think the Cavs are just mentally soft.
