It was about 15 mins

- Said this is his dream job
- Talked about his time in Minny
- Gave an analytics breakdown and said there is a difference between offenses built on volume 3's vs. Quality 3's and he was establishing the latter by the time he left Minny
- Said this job was better for him than all others because of Rose and WWW
- Said that he's taking the team building aspect of this season by season, but he's ready for the long haul

That's pretty much the gist

yeah from the sounds of it he is saying taking 3's just to take 3's doesn't make sense. Taking 3's off penetration and kick outs are the 3's he wants. He doesn't want the team settling for shots they also aren't good at making because its a high % shot.

If Randle is on the team next year for example I don't want him shooting 3's just to shoot them if he's shooting them a sub 30% clip. Shoot the shots you can make.

And the thing that made Randle's 3 point attempts bad decisions is where he took them from. They weren't from the top of the key or in the corners, but instead to the far right or far left of the top of the key, and every miss, due to poor court balance always ended up allowing leak out fast breaks.

His official title will be VP of Shepherding

Woodson will be deposited in a bunker beneath MSG where he will personally nurse the youngest lambs at feeding time

I wouldn't be mad at all if they moved on from Knox, maybe use him to move up from #27. I just don't see it w/ him

RJ and Mitch are the 2 foundation pieces and Frank and Dot can be useful bench players

I get that Brunson is a longtime Thibs assistant and former Rose client, but they seriously gonna hire him?

Brunson was arrested in June 2014 and indicted on charges of attempted criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual abuse, aggravated battery and domestic battery following an encounter with a massage therapist at a Lifetime Fitness in Vernon Hills. Authorities say Brunson used the name of retired NBA star Patrick Ewing to book an appointment in April with the massage therapist who had previously notified Brunson that she would no longer provide him with massages. Brunson pleaded not guilty to all charges. He later testified that the incident that led to the charges was a consensual act as part of an ongoing extramarital relationship. He was eventually acquitted. -via Wikipedia


He used Pat's name :noway: :noway:


yeah. "once a knick always a knick" can't apply here.
RIP magnumt

welcome home, thibs.

We don’t even know if they’re actually foundation pieces yet, and Knox should get at least one more season before any decision is made, since he did show potential his rookie season.
