Its a fair statement...but I would love to know a situation where giving mediocre fringe NBA players with no long term future minutes over your own controllable players has ever worked? Like is there a situation where that has benefited a coach in the past?
And this isn't all on Thibs...the fact Leon Rose decided to run it back with payton after last year is a incomprehensible decision.
it never works, but it's still a thing that's going to always happen whether we like it or a not.
it's not a knick thing, i'm sure if you search there's washed players getting playing time -- like if i was a hornet fan, i'd be fuming that rozier is starting over ball.
And yet it is working for them. Your vets are your organisation. The good vets get the kids ready to take their jobs. As far as Quickley says Payton has been doing that.
The vets are your advertisement. You want players to see you as a good employer. There's a reason players love Miami despite lack od recent success and nobody ever goes to Chicago.

The Knicks are worse with Payton by every metric imaginable. He doesn't deserve to start at all. I'd argue that his vet status is questionable to begin with as he has always been on losing teams and his NBA career would be hanging by a thread if not for dumbass organizations like the New York Knicks.
The Knicks rewarded Lance Thomas as a vet and it led them absolutely nowhere. Scrubs are scrubs, loyalty to losing doesn't enhance the image of an organization. Rather it sinks with its bad investments.
Miami played a game 7 of the ECSF with Wade and Dragic against Toronto a couple years before signing Butler in free agency. They have had recent success, and I'm not even referring to the big 3 Heat.
