Haven’t watched summer league but I don’t think I even have to to know these young players we have suck. We can ship them all out and I wouldn’t even care. Only guy that is maybe even worth keeping is Hukporti. Hes serviceable. The rest are complete trash

Fultz cant shoot. Injury-prone and we already have a lot of small guards in the roster.

This is a very poorly coached team. We have now let the lead grow to 20.He keeps persisting with players who are not playing well. We are heavily reliant in Kolek with no backup plan.

All that swag gone cuz Thibs with his asinine DNP-CDs killed young players' confidence

"Maybe I'm not that good", "If Thibs played me 1 min and 30 DNPs... that means I'm a scrub"


I am tired of this kind of narrative.

Deuce almost did not play in his first year and he was very good in his second.

Its kind of normal rookies not playing in their first year. Spurs and Heat were famous for it. Especially second rounders.


Rookie Tony Parker was last pick in the first round, Pop started him

Dumb coaches blindly play vets and alienate young players, actual championship coaches play ANYone (vets/ sophs/ rooks) who can play

Huk showed in the Nets game he could play, blocking shots and dunking but he somehow got DNPs for the next 6 weeks (don't remember exactly)

He was not a rook but Delon filled in for an injured JB for a month he played great team defense and knocked down shots and somehow he got DNPs...

Kolek showed he could play, he got like 25 assists and 0 turnovers in like 3-4 games (?) when he played...

Just a dumb coach who blindly favored vets and not played young players

If Tony had played for Thibs, he would've got Deuce treatment and loser effect built up, he could've been just a role player instead of an all star

But hey Thibs is gone what a good riddance

Dolan really fired a hall of fame coach who took us to our first conference finals in 25 years all because he let fans convince him these raggedy busts who clearly have no nba future should have been playing more. Dark days ahead.

Pacome looks decent. Needs to be more aggressive.
McCullar looks good.
James Nnaji seems like he has potential.
Kolek looks like he sat on the couch watching Netflix all offseason.
Beauchamp should seek employment overseas

Thibodeau is definitely not a Hall of Fame coach.

Maybe for the Knicks but that’s about it.

Bro no the issue was Dolan lost game one of that pacers series being stubborn and hey wanted him to try and get guys like Shamet, Wright, or Payne at least a few minute in leading to that series and he said no. He finally did do that one game and they won it and he turned around and didn’t do it again until they lost the next game.

I am not defending Dolan here, but the rookies didnt get him fired. Honestly, the situation with young guys is consistent with Thibs team when he leaves. They usually have crap youth cause he pushed to trade them all for vets which is exactly what got us here now.

I don’t think these guys got coached which low-key maybe isn’t a surprise considering all the chaos going on. Brown doesn’t have a staff and these guys are carryovers
