not a chance...
we're a different organization...
People seem to panic around here every off-season season, whether it be free agency, draft night, or trades, and in the end the Knicks' front office always come out knowing what they're doing.
I cant blame them. Decades of torture

Bryant is the play.
I agree that he's a great potential coach. I'm just skeptical they'd hire somebody for his first HC job. This is a HIGH pressure situation and I'm guessing they're going to choose an experienced HC who can withstand the pressure. For better or worse, Thibs' weird form of autism made him impervious to the media and fans. That kind of stability will be very hard to find, which is why I expect the candidate to have many years under his belt. This city now expects NBA Finals runs. Falling short of that would DESTROY a younger coach IMO.
Bryant is a well-seasoned NBA hand. If he's ready to be a head coach, then he's ready to be a head coach in NYC. He spent plenty of time here and is fully acclimated to the peaks and valleys of coaching in NYC. He knows most of the roster personally and he is one of the only choices that brings the needed philosophy of building systems around the talent you've got, not fitting square pegs into round holes like Thibs and many of the other rumored candidates.
We can resurrect the Phil Jackson version from the bulls 6 titles and people would complain, it's what Knick fans do it's nuts....I think Kidd, Bryant, Atkinson are all great options

What did Aunt Brunson tweet?
And wouldn’t Dallas hiring an assistant take Kidd off the table?

Did you make all that up in your head? People laughed when they thought the Knicks couldn’t get….OG Anunoby?
Love OG but he is a role player and no one was “moved” by the trade even when it happened. But to take your point seriously the team had young assets and draft picks during the time of the trade.
The Knicks now have zero young players with any type of league wide respect and have zero draft picks that they can give up for the foreseeable future. And you think the Knicks have a chance at getting a Top 3 NBA player with what they currently have….
Some of you are just delusional and need to take a break off Knicks basketball.
OG is more then a role player don't kid yourself, he does things defensively maybe 3 other guys in the league allow you to do.

Re: Tom Thibodeau fired pt 2
Sign me up for Johnnie Bryant.
Already was the top assistant here for 4 years, so its not like he wouldn’t know how this team and city is. Got some other good experience under Atkinson this year too.
A bunch of teams won in the last 15 years with new coaches: Spo, Kerr, Nurse, and Mazzulla. Johnnie just strikes me as a smart and cool guy. If we get him, hopefully he’s more like these names and less like Fisher and Fizdale.

He didn’t even make an all nba defensive team. The guy he was guarding literally just won ECF MVP.

Wouldn’t this kill the Kidd rumors ? You wouldn’t hire a assistant if the head coach was leaving
Kidd was never the choice. The funny thing is this same thing happened before Leon hired Thibodeau and people are still falling for it now.
These "interviews" are similar to free agents going to dinners with multiple organizations, when they already know where they're going to sign. It's all theater.
The next head coach is going to be Johnnie Bryant.
hopefully this is what happens.

Re: Tom Thibodeau fired pt 2
I've been away for a few hours, but I see we're still falling for every rumor imaginable.
By now, we should know this front office works in undercover silence. I believe we're being presented with a lot of smokescreens to create the illusion that they're considering all options, when in fact, they already knew who they were hiring before they fired Thibs.
Don't believe everything you see or hear.

Re: Tom Thibodeau fired pt 2
So now it's being right by vague posting on social media and not really saying anything but if something big does happen you get credit for 'breaking' it? Ok...sure
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Re: Tom Thibodeau fired pt 2
BKE isn't being vague at all.
He said Kidd is the #1 option and the Knicks will then pursue Giannis.
I'm not sure how much clearer he can get
Whether or not you choose to believe him is a different matter.
