Does this count as confirmation the kidd rumors are true?
Now we need to find out who is his third favorite coach.

Probably…Jay Wright lol.

That’s that copium. It’s an epidemic lol

Bryant is Red Holzman for some reason but nobody brings up that the Suns interviewed him and went with other Cavs assistant. The next guy is going to fix KAT's defense, fix Mikal's shot, install the best offense in the NBA, turn the bench into the Pacers bench, and with no flaws of their own. This is a lot of expectations.

Honestly I don't even care if the Knicks take a step back or if the next coach doesn't fix all the issues. I just don't want to continue doing the same thing again and again while grinding down certain players and not building the confidence of others. Also it would be nice to have a coach that players around the league want to play for.

Haha I have no idea. I wouldn’t be mad at Kidd, but I just hope it’s part of a plan to lure Giannis, tho I realize it’s a long shot.

If it isn’t possible, then I’d prefer to swing for the fences on a rookie coach, whether it’s Bryant, Quinn, whoever… hoping we land our version of Udoka, Spo, Kerr, Dag, Mazzula, etc (not Fisher/Hoiberg/Ham/Donovan, etc).

That’s for them to decide during interviews to see who’s vision and strategy fits best with our personnel.

There's another thing misdirection does... keeps us engaged in the plot. It's working :oops:

All that dont matter if the result is not more wins. Fizdale and Fisher seemed to be nice guys that players liked.

Why would you need misdirection at this point? With PHX hiring there coach is there another team in the NBA with a coaching vacancy?

Having talks with other coaches without being splattered in the news. If they say no, not being news. There a many reasons. I just don't understand going for Kidd after firing Thibs, why not Malone then?

Malone is too much like Thibs...

So is Kidd.

Kidd is a great coach imo but tbh I'm higher on Bryant than Kidd

People assume he will coach a certain way cause he's young. :lol:

Thibs was once young too.

Guarantee you if Bryant doesn't play 10 or 11 the same guys who hated Thibs will hate him. They want to be Cleveland, Indiana or OKC regardless of the roster.
