I imagine he would be denied to become our next associated head coach as well then?

At the very least you would start getting into conversations around compensation. I feel like there are other associate head coach options out there if offensive coordinator is the specific role.

hoping the Knicks can offer so much $ that Pelicans will have to let him go to avoid bad look for the organization that could dissuade future coaches from going there

more than anything tho, I want fresh blood on the coaching staff. don't force Thibs' staff on Mike Brown b/c some of those guys are probably still loyal to Thibs and think he shouldn't have been fired. Rick, I understand, but don't love hearing they're expected to keep ~4 of the coaches (+ basically putting 100% of blame on Thibs)

I especially don't like that one of the coaches they're expected to keep is Darren Erman. That dude got fired from the Warriors because he was recording private conversations between coaches and players. that's messed up. dude literally would put his phone on record, leave a room and record subsequent conversations. Snake of the highest degree. if I'm Mike Brown, I don't want him on the staff; he was hired by Thibs, he can't be trusted to be loyal to Mike

Lateral move to the Knicks. Doubt they would grant permission.

So, the things we were saying. The minutes and lack of playing time for any young players.

Because of how strict the aprons are you absolutely cannot just mothball young players on cheap contracts.

honestly the fact that this is such a focus for the fo is a breath of fresh air, can’t remember the last time we really had development of our youth as a serious priority

We have to be serious about it now, the aprons makes everything different. I hope they bring in Phil Handy as well.

If Thibs kept the job next season would have been more of the same. We'd start not playing young guys somewhat, something happens and they get mothballed and starters play obscene minutes

This a hot take but I think this is what happens with Mike brown
We start the season slow learning his offensive defensive philosophies
Mid season we still not all the way there
End of season we start rolling and get thru to ECF
We win there too and advance to the finals

I hope! I did see a video breakdown of his offense where he runs 4 types of sets. And it looks like we're going to really need our guys to be cerebreal, which I know many of them can be.

Can KAT operate like Sabonis? I know he's a good passer and he's smart, but how long will it take for it to be instinctive. That is true for all of them, where they aren't thinking about their next move, motion, pass- but doing, passing, cutting, driving or shooting.

There is a part of me that thinks - healthy and if they pick things up quickly - this is a 60+/- team.
