Maybe I’m in the minority but I’d have been good with Kidd. And that’s also who the Knicks hoped to get and they failed. So. Leon hosed

I'm fine with it, I'll give him a chance. He had Fox and Sabonis playing a two man game, pretty much nonstop.

Honestly if we really wanted to fire Thibs why not hire Jenkins then? He’s like the opposite of him, younger, developed talent, and has had some success in the playoffs. I would’ve even taken that assistant coach from Minny too. It just feels like we’re going backwards with Brown but I hope I’m wrong..

It’ll be easy for me to transition my Thibs hate to Brown hate. Not skipping a beat

I can admit. I dont know anything about Mike Brown outside of "he's coached NBA teams".

I'm surprised and a little disappointed that we didn't bring Bud in or give first time guys like Cassell, Bryant, or Nori a real shake. It seems like the org was set on Brown once they did their coach poaching thing. Hope they're making the right call. The alleged "extensive" search seems somewhat misleading.
