Lou Will can decline any season. 6th men don’t last forever and it’s a reason why he’s been on so many teams. Let’s not act like he’s in his 20s carving up. He could be on his Jamal Crawford wave but his role will always be best off the bench.

HE'S NOT A CENTER!

He's a big and he played most of his minutes at center in the series against Golden State.

The 2 things Fiz is better at than Stevens is losing the locker room, and having sub 20 win seasons.

Stevens for sure didn’t lose the locker room. Kyrie, Rozier, Tatum & Horford can vouch.



And still got them to the second round, something Fizdale has never done.

Fiz has the same type of talent? Interesting.
They ended up on the same couch the Knicks were on by June though.

He did in Memphis. Still managed to alienate the whole team, and get himself fired.

Stevens did lose the locker room. Reports came out that guys didnt like how he gave Gordon Hayward special treatment and it caused a rift in the locker room

All this optimism about our chances in FA, about Mitch, about our young players, about Fiz... I don't know how some of y'all keep doing this to yourselves...

Let's keep our expectations low and let the FO keep building around our young players. We're just not ready. Maybe in 3 or 4 years we will be, and that's alright.

he also came off the bench. Where a center isn't really needed. He isn't a starting center because he doesn't rebound well enough.

If Kawahi does come to Knicks than then the whole country of Canada will be okay with him joining forces with the Maple Mamba. Win win for both sides
