Knicks to Hire Mike Brown as Next Head Coach

[god shammgod]

Some matchups we will need Mitch some matchups Deuce.

Deuce gives us a legit 5 out look that means the center has to guard KAT which is very advantageous for our lineups.

When we need rim protection Mitch will be available to use.

The key is outscoring you opponent even if your defense is middle of the pack...if your offense is top in the league you can work with that.

The issue is about halfway through the year once teams moved small guys on KAT and we never adjusted our offense stopped being top tier.

no. kat is a 4 on a contending team. everybody wants to blame josh hart or thibs or whoever for why that starting lineup was bad but the answer was actually obvious and had already been discovered on kat's previous team. kat is a 4. the end.

no

fine. let's waste another season, with out easiest chance ever to make the finals on the line, on realizing that what he gives up defensively at the 5 isn't worth what you gain offensively.

So they’re basically only hiring Brown to be their puppet

If puppet = actually talking to the FO, then I guess so

So Thibs never spoke to Leon? That’s news to me considering we traded for D rose and Josh hart.

The reporting is that they hadn't spoken since around February and that Thibs refused to take their suggestions heading into the playoffs.

if mitch doesn't start they're just gonna repeat last year's mistakes with a new coach

The answer is obvious… been saying it since before last season started… play 5 out with Deuce starting.

KAT has never played with this much talent in his career so I don’t know why we’re comparing his previous situations at the 5 to now.

We beat Boston switching everything on defense when people here laughed saying we couldn’t play like them and succeed. Just need to do it all season instead of 1 series.

Begley had something earlier stating the vision is for Mitch to start

Deuce is too short to be a starting nba shooting guard especially trying to run an undersized PF with OG we are just giving up way too much size

he is going to be guarding the POA (point guards mostly) anyway so nothing changes...Brunson has been guarding off ball since he's been here.

[LookToShoot]

KAT at the 5 isn’t the issue. OG, Hart and Bridges are a bad fit on the floor together.

I welcome Mike Brown to New York.

[BKlutch]

what is this obsession about shams lately

He's the annointed "news breaker" for trades, FA's, hires, etc. And this is busy season!

i know who he is. i'm talking about how everyone is mad at him and trying to discredit him.

People say he doesn’t have good Knicks sources

he had the highest NET rating of any player on the team for the regular season and playoffs...playing mostly the 5...I'm not really sure what you expect them to do. They aren't playing him 100% at the 4...him at the 5 isn't an issue if you have an unstoppable offense.

On top of that you aren't playing Mitch 30+ minutes a game...that would be silly since its important to keep him healthy all year.

The rumors were saying players were waiting to see who the coach was before they do anything here. So maybe there’s another big move in the works

[Grinditout]

Stubbon Thibs got the team to the ECF. A more flexible Brown can do better. Also waiting to see who fills out the rest of the coaching staff.

That’s ridiculous whoever reported that didn’t speak since February is crazy. Sounds like it wasn’t from shams or stein who have been the most accurate for reporting.

I'm late to the party, but...

Mike Brown may not be the "sexy" choice (I personally wanted Johnnie Bryant). However, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to prove he is the RIGHT choice for us for right now.

Unlike some, I acknowledge I don't have all the answers or know any inside information. I don't have a need to micro-manage this franchise, its choices, its trades and its players. I know my choices are not always the best choices. Also, I'm not the billionaire owner who cuts the checks and I recognize that my opinion is irrelevant to the powers that be.

So, as a fan of the sport and this team, I believe Leon ultimately concluded that MB was the best available option for our needs -- and I get behind that decision. I'm now excited to see who joins the roster of assistants, excited to see a bunch of basketball minds collectively making in-game decisions (unlike the dictatorship of the past few seasons), and excited to see a face other than Thibs manning the sidelines.

LET'S GO MB!!
LET'S GO KNICKS!!!

He’s the same height as Donovan Mitchell without shoes. Only a difference of 1 inch in wingspan too. He’d also be guarding POA, not the 2… and we really should be implementing a switch-heavy defense so standard positions won’t really matter on defense. Our defense was fine against Boston when we were switching like crazy too.
