The next Knicks head coach

[bkkrh]

When you included Monty on your list you made everyone else look bad. Monty is a bum.

I see him the lowest of all 4, but I definitely see him as an above average coach.

I…. I can’t even begin to list all of the horrible things he did in Detroit. His success in Phoenix was on the back of Chris Paul, so I guess if you think Brunson is at that level and doesn’t need a coach, maybe?

In any case, he wouldn’t make a single cent taking a coaching job, because the Pistons massively overpaid him and fired him after one year.

Actually didn't really consider this, thought he was generally ok as coach of New Orleans in his 1st season but that was also with Chris Paul . Detroit definitely didn't go well, generally I tend to give each player/coach the benefit of the doubt when it didn't work out at all with one team and it was a short stint. Especially since things didn't go mucht better before with Casey as well.

And yet Bickerstaff took eight (? Cade, Ivey, Sasser, Ausar, Duren, Tek, Stewart… seven, then) of the same players along with some new vets, tripled their win total, changed the culture, and got things done. No one seems to think of JBB as a top notch coach, but he was three, make that ten, tiers better than that turd Monty. He not only mailed in our whole season, he benched Ivey for Killian Hayes of all people. Complete disaster.

[Raps in 4]

1. Malone
2. Bud
3. Jenkins

100% one of those three.

Personally I see Bickerstaff as a pretty good coach and his firing was also viewed generally pretty negatively before the start of the season. That narrative got a bit lost based on the Cavs successfull regular season. To be fair though, I also think it made a big difference that you added a few vets this season that played some major minutes in Harris, THJ, Beasley and later Schröder. So in that sense not much different than how it worked for the Rockets.

looks like a retread list

wright would be INSANE to want to unretire into the dolan aura
forget the 'nova relationship. that would be a flat out silly reason

wait until after the draft

jb is a floor raiser, he's did it at all 4 head coaching stops. He instills a defensive culture + hustle. That's it, that's what he does from year 1 until he quits or gets fired, no more and no less.

4 of your top 7 players getting minutes were brand new vets. Then 5 of your top 8 once Stu went down.

Monty probably still sucks with those vets but bringing in 63% of your top 8 player rotation as vets, is not really the same squad.

It'll be a very very Knicks thing to do. Lol

Fire Thibs ....... hire Malone/Kidd.

TBF , Malone is probably a good fit. East coast guy. Championship coach. Thibs lite.

Yeah, that just doesn't sound like a very Knicks thing to do

Lol.

It is

Come on now. This is like making fun of the spurs for refusing to rebuild so they can gun for the 8th seed to keep pop happy.

Yes it was true in the 2010s, but we’re in the 2020s

Is true now again (2020s beyond) possibly, starting yesterday. No joking intended.

Spurs? We are on a rebuild, have been for years. We suck. For the past 6 seasons. No sugar coating anything. We can admit that!

But enuff with the Knicks ( it's been 2 days now going back and forth.... it is what it is...)

Today is the NBA Finals, Indiana/OKC!

Also throw Kidd on that list. Possible

Despite all the mysterious goings on in DAL, I don't see Kidd moving on. Then again, given the volatility as of late, one can never be too sure of just what the actual hell is going on there.

[jkvonny]

I'm hoping for Bryant or Cassell, assuming we can't steal Spo or Finch.

Really hope we don't fall for the Malone / Budenholzer / Jenkins / Monty trap.

Very possible that aint happening.

Yep, true . Who knows.

He probably stays in Dallas, though

200% all 3 are not candidates confirmed by NY reporrts

[Optms]

Doesn't matter who they bring in, Knicks are going backwards

[SUPERVILLAIN]

I'm the only vote for Mike Brown. Wow.

You need the coach in place before the draft to have his input.

i cant say the knicks have turned the corner regarding any kind of slo-build process. since they were close this year i think they will take a hard look at a major upgrade and go for the biggest star on the market,,,like they always have - because they're new york

so get the player and then get the coach

say for instance if they have a chance at giannis or somesuch, they are going to drop everything, go grab giannis, AND THEN present the prospective coaches with the roster and say "what do you think you can do with this?"

i am pretty sure the knick org is working behind the scenes as we speak and getting giannis or maybe kd is their prize,,,not hurley or wright or whomever

getting a coach first is only if the coach is the lure for a target player - like if giannis is saying "get me malone and i'm a knick"

Kinda how the coaching carousel works in the NBA, no?

[HabenKG]

What can be said about Kidd coaching ability? How's his offense? I'm leaning towards him being the hire.
