So, Gerson has contacts within the TWolves organization. Maybe that helps make this one happen.

Probably not.

This season will be Mike Brown & The Thibs Pips

BRING PABLO HOME!!!!!

I remember reports of his family struggling with the language/cultural barrier when he first came to New York. Then he played 4 seasons in the NBA and loved it so much that he didn't feel the need to go back to Argentina or Europe after retiring from playing!

If we had gotten him to play even two years earlier, you could only imagine how good the '11 and '12 teams could have been with Prigs getting minutes at the point. I know Melo loved him.

The Knicks have received permission to speak with Minnesota assistant coach Pablo Prigioni for openings on Mike Brown’s staff, league sources tell SNY.
Prigioni, a former Knick, has been focused on the Timberwolves offense under head coach Chris Finch.
The Knicks are looking to add at least one assistant coach to Brown’s staff. Several members of Tom Thibodeau’s coaching staff – including Maurice Cheeks, Mark Bryant, Rick Brunson, and Darren Erman – will remain on staff under Brown.
A move to New York would presumably be a promotion for Prigioni. The 48-year-old has also coached as an assistant in Brooklyn and Minnesota. Prigioni’s NBA career started with the Knicks in 2012-2013. At 35, he was the oldest rookie in NBA history. He also made a huge impact on that Knicks team. Priogini began the season as a backup point guard and was inserted into the starting lineup due to injury. New York finished the regular season with 17 wins in its final 19 games.
Prigioni also started for the Knicks in the playoffs, helping them defeat the Boston Celtics in the first round.
Because the Timberwolves granted the Knicks permission to speak to Prigioni, It’s logical to assume there is mutual interest between the coach and the organization.

Mike Brown was an assistant coach on the '02 Spurs team that Mark Bryant played for, so they have a history together.

Real question, I could probably look it up but you guys are quicker than I, wasn’t it a thing at one point how stagnant the wolves were offensively last year?

I recall they kind of hit a groove once Randle got going later in the year, but while I wouldn’t mind Priggy Smalls coming back, I wonder what would/is he really bringing to the table..

Love the idea of bringing in Pablo and it’s an inspiring choice but has Mike Brown ever crossed paths with him? I think Pablo has only coached in Brooklyn and Minnesota. Just seems like another guy that the front office is placing on browns staff. It’s just weird that his staff is gonna be a bunch of Thibs guys and someone Rosas knows from his time with the wolves. Who are mike browns friends?
