Brown wants to hire his own Associate HC and it ain’t Daddy Brunson.
Personally, never wanted him on the coaching staff to begin with. Smells of nepotism.
Other’s think that demoting Daddy could cause problems.

Honestly this... nobody cares, I don't think even Brunson cares, not saying he doesn't add value but rick was thibs friend that was it. Off course a new coach gonna want someone else.

With the pay cut Jalen took i wouldn't be surprised Rick would be the highest paid assist coach.

Looking forward to naming of new associate coach. Rick is not an issue.
Have any Thibs assistants not been retained?

Rumor was that Erman/Brunson/Bryant/Cheeks will return. No other names were mentioned.

No more letting "daddy run the show".
The third time in a row Brunson misses Kat wide open at the three point line, he'll hear it now without the coach worrying about a side eye from the "top assistant". This is good.

this is pretty funny back and forth...Brunson saying he will come on the show if CP tells cap his "source" "mole" with the Knicks stemming from that CP was the first to break the Dawn Staley news and no one else had it, clearing Shams again with Knicks related stuff.
shots fired

I'm guessing WWW, he said in the playoffs Thibs was on "thin ice". I think Rick Brunson is really good friends with Thibs so I don't think he would be leaking that.

I didn't like that back and forth Rick had with Donte after he was traded. Donte after the fact claimed he was directing his comments towards Thibs, but I watched numerous videos with different angles and he was yelling towards Rick. Jalens dad being at that position didn't sit well with some players and it was obvious at times.
