We knew about the Minnesota and Rockets denying the Knicks since last week though. :lol:

The sports media is out here using the Knicks as filler until Pacers-Thunder games.

Wait, I thought the conspiracy was the Knicks were supposed to keep quiet and not be a distraction until the finals are over. Cause legitimately interviewing a couple of available coaches would tank the ratings :lol:


You do realize these reports are coming from other organizations, right?

Welp, Leon looking like an absolute clown getting denied by everyone. It would surprise me if the mavs let him talk to Kidd.

So we gonna risk it with a rookie coach. He better win 50 games

To be fair, the "he better win 50 games" would be applicable to any coach we hire.

THIS!

The notion that Kidd, Finch, Malone, and all the other "name" coaches = guaranteed success (while Bryant and other up-and-coming coaches = certain failure) is pretty :crazy:

Who will attract more.players Kidd or Bryant? Who is the more proven guy?

This doesn't mean Bryant will bomb but he is most definitely higher risk even if he could be high reward as well.

I predict
......
There is going to be the back and forth of the ocean. i.e waves of ups and downs with Kidd until the finals are over. A lot of just Kidding reports if you will (sorry couldnt resist). Then the reports will quickly escalate and unless it is truly a stalemate behind the scenes right now, we will know pretty quickly yay or nay.

So I'm scrolling through my phone, checking out Knicks posts, and of course the coaching situation is the prevalent topic and all I see is......

Mark Jackson.
How about we hire Mark Jackson.
We should give him a chance...Mark Jackson.
Hey, how about.....Mark Jackson?????
Why would a man insert his penis into another man's anus....let's hire Mark Jackson.


WTFFF is this obsession with Mark **** Jackson. Every time there's a coaching vacancy in the NBA, the first dude who goes on the air to Mark Jackson is Smith....and then the rest follow....and then it becomes this cult that takes over social media, too. What is the genius behind this bigot???

I swear on EVERYTHING I LOVE.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ...as I'm typing this I'm listening to Gil's Arena, and I just heard McCants say "I hope they give him a chance......MARK JACKSON". I clicked on it because it was supposed to be about Jason Kidd!!!!!

Jesus Christ.

I'm gonna go through this thread now, and if I see anybody do a Mark Jackson..........you're gonna get it.

I couldn't even bull **** this to you guys....I clicked on this video because look at the title....and as I'm bitching about Mark Jackson, he comes up, in a video about HOW JASON KIDD IS THE PERFECT FIT FOR THE KNICKS. :lol:

13:26 to get to the point...but watch the video, it's relevant to the thread, which is why I was listening to it while enjoying your takes.




I have a player I coach who I believe is going down a sinful path....anybody know who I should call?

What I love is all these media hounds that complain about the Knicks media policy...that they don't talk, don't leak, don't give anything.....but they somehow know we want Giannis, KD, Kidd, Udoka, Kat was the reason Thibs got fired, Malone, Wright.....etc etc.

I don't buy any of this ****...Kidd, Giannis, KD....it's nonsense. If they didn't believe in the roster they built, they wouldn't have fired Thibs. They're looking for the right coach that will fit this squad...it has nothing to do with pipe dreams about players possibly coming here.

Giannis is in Greece with his family, and here we are like bozos holding our dicks for him. KD has one more year left, but we are going to do another Carmelo and tear apart our core for him to come a year earlier. (We have to send back more salary than the Suns...matching his will cost a lot of our players not named Karl and Jaylen.

You fired your coach because he didn't utilize your roster correctly, right? So why would you dismantle it.

**** all that noise. Get your coach and run this **** back.

Folks you gotta relax. Let the process play out. Panicking after every random tweet and or concern trolling isn't gonna make this go any faster, or bring Tom back, for that matter.

Everything is gonna be alright.

yes, it's totally normal that all of the knicks top choices are employed by other teams already.

i'm leaving my wife who always treated me pretty well because i think i can do better. i'm gonna start by asking nothing but perfectly happy married women out for dinner. lol
