My default assumption is it is all BS, but there is one thing I now believe: Rose is capable of pulling off trades we would never expect.

IOW, it's all BS until it happens and anything can happen.

If there is a big trade cooking, it could be in a day or months.

Meanwhile, everyone is going to drive themselves mad speculating while waiting for the next infinity stone to drop.

This off-season is going to make lots of clickbait money for some media outlets.

I think the question is does the coach get chosen before or after any roster shake-ups?

The Kidd stuff is bizarre but this is the Knicks.

Here's how I think this is going down:

Its down to Bryant and Ott for the PHX job. Leon fires Tom immediately to show Bryant that the job is his if he wants it. Bryant declines the PHX job, Ott gets hired as a result and now it's just a matter of time until the Bryant hire is made official.

Sorry I don't buy that we are seriously trying to poach JKidd.

I was wrong. The Knicks fired Thibs immediately with zero f*cking plan. Great.

Some of you are so corny and flaky your picture should be on a cereal box.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.
