Not that surprising

Saunders was just there because of his name and nothing more

Very unusual to see a full time hire (as opposed to an interim) mid season.

Its obvious they wanted Finch bad.

Getting a coach fired is basically a championship for the Knicks.

When was the last time an assistant on another team was hired when a coach was fired mid season?

To college Ryan Saunders goes.

But most importantly, is he black? There's no way it can be perceived as a good hire if he's not.

Bjorken and Finch.. Nick Nurse starting a decent coaching tree.

For what it's worth Finch was an assistant to Nurse for all of 2 months. He was on Gentry's staff last year.

He got the Nurse seal of approval tho. Highest honour amongst coaches

I would've liked to see Mike D'Antoni work with Towns and D'lo. I mean defense it out of the question anyways with those two so they might as well enhance their offensive abilities with Mike's playbook...

Saunders ain't the issue in Minny

He's not the only issue, but definitely an issue.
