Has the FO disappointed the fan base with the hire yet?

In due time.

Yep, the disappointment is greater after enough hope has been cultivated...and that takes a little time.

I still think Kidd checks the most boxes of what Leon is looking for.

Wow Austin absolutely obliterates the Knicks here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a good look at all for Leon and co!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's always interesting to watch buffoonery, especially when the subject admits why he's going to do it right there. He obviously has an agenda...felt like he was done dirty, so his opinion on the Knicks is moot....go **** yourself, Bucket Hat Bitch. And did anybody else get Godfather vibes from his description of the meeting? He's describing it like a bad thing. I pictured his bum ass in that room being told he sucks by Marlon Brando, and I liked it....so **** this guy not liking how we do things. What were they going to do, suck his dick because he's a nepo baby? OMGGG they did me dirty, sent me to OKC...FOH...Austin Quivers...pussy got scared sitting in a dark room..."tHErE wAs oNLy oNe LigHt In iT"

Anyway...there is nothing to worry about, people. Am I the only one actually IMPRESSED with what the Knicks are doing? Imagine Spo has wanted to leave Miami for....last couple of years, but believes he has to be the good soldier...play out his contract....be loyal. But coaches are fired all the time....sometimes...even after getting a team to a conference finals after twenty five years!!! Insane, right?

All the Knicks are doing is putting coaches and their teams on the spot...no secret late night phone calls....straight up giving out names and their desire to the media...like a call out....hey....

To all you coaches out there..who don't want to be on sorry ass teams, where the GM is all up in your playbooks, all up in the practices, scrimmages.....

dancing in your videos....



Come to the Knicks!!

I don't have a problem with this. Player empowerment? This looks like coach empowerment to me. All this mocking and **** on the Knicks going on.....these clowns are still operating on old software...they don't see what they're doing. It's brilliant. Sure, we got slapped for asking for Udoka...but what if....some player **** his wife, and he wanted out badly but felt there was no way out....only getting fired or breaking his contract? Then he hears on his tv..."Knicks are asking the Rockets permission to speak with Ime".....woooaaa. If the Knicks weren't blowing this search up...how would he know? How would they all know? Maybe not Udoka...maybe Finch, Kidd or whoever is tired of something...bad trades maybe????? No need to drag along..they have an out if they want. Rockets had to publicly shut this down...but if Ime really wanted to get out, they couldn't, unless they wanted to look like dicks in the media.

This is why I think we haven't heard anything about Kidd. He's still twiddling his thumbs. He's a little weasel, and if he wants, he'll get his team, he's done it before.

This is some new ****, and I'm for it.

We have time...why tf would we just say ahhhhh that guy and give him a multiyear multimillion dollar contract the day after we fire our coach... these dudes crying about how we still don't have a coach....no **** ****, we don't need one right now. "They look pathetic asking around to talk to working coaches"..Ohh, they can actually do that though??? So why would we only look for fired dudes jerking off at home...due diligence mother ****...do we have it?

Yes we do.

I want Bryant, but I'm not mad at this.

I like this guy!

He's right that the hail mary is that a great coach might look at this and if they want out here's their chance.

More likely, these are agent favors. Both Donovan and Kidd look to be getting extensions and we're the leverage.

Get Johnnie Bryant

Great find Fat Kat!!!!!
Well...The Knicks off season is not in my thoughts at this point. It is what it is...Hopefully Leon and his team make the right choices.
Always love hearing from the players who have the best point of view...

Yep. You got it.

Kidd could ABSOLUTELY still happen. And then the question is: is Giannis Plan A or is it JJJ?

[The KnicksFix]

Here’s to hoping Taylor Jenkins does great in his interview this week and wins the job over Mike Brown because ima crash out if brown gets it

Unfortunately melo the job is for neither of them
Just a ploy to make it look like we interviewing a full batch
Just smoke screens

Except the being available box I suppose.
