Remember when Tatum demanded a trade because Udoka was let go?
Embiid demanded a trade to the Wizards when Doc Rivers got canned.
Donovan Mitchell went crazy demanding a trade to the Hornets when the Cavs fired Bickerstaff.
Ja Morant and Jokic are already demanding trades, saying "they fired my coach, maaaan!"
It was wild when Giannis demanded a trade because they fired coach Bud a couple of years after winning a championship with them.
I bet you remember when Derozan demanded a trade because Casey was fired after he got the 1st seed, 59 wins, and Coach of the year...all because the Raps got embarrassed in the 2nd round.
History is about to repeat itself....If the Knicks get embarrassed in the 2nd round....bye Thibs..
Don't believe the Thibslobber hype...Brunson is the undisputed King of NY and would never demand a trade.
Thibs Though???....

Yah, I also disagree. I feel like people haven't watched Brunson for the first few seasons on the Knicks, when they keep saying this stuff. Like...are we seriously thinking that teams wouldn't have played Brunson physical if that was his weakness? It took the whole league 3 years on the Knicks before they figured it out? Or maybe his 32 ppg in the playoffs last year was cause teams were locking him down and he should have had 40?
Brunson has been getting played physical his whole career and he's never let it stop him. It's KAT I'm more worried about. Brunson is cold-blooded.
I mean the issues for JB is that Pistons can play him physical and with size AND athleticism.
Yea, I'm sorry but this is seriously nothing unique. This is basically the playbook against any superstar in this league, and this is something that has been going on forever.
Sorry, but I think that people are trying to make up this narrative about Brunson. He thrives in these conditions; he does it in the playoffs year after year and against much better teams than the Pistons, and he's done it with less offensive help before, too. If we fail, it's probably going to be a lot more likely that it's Mikal or KAT that doesn't show up.

go ahead and stand on it if you're ready to see JB gone too.
Facts
JB doesn't care if they fire Drunk Uncle Thibs and all his glory days stories at Thanksgiving.

I don't think he'll leave but I do think think that Tom shouldn't be disrespected or humiliated either, because that absolutely would be a problem.
Treat him like Brad Stevens was. His voice and ear can still be valuable assets to the franchise but I just don't think his approach coaching wise in terms of his offensive and defensive philosophies will take this roster to the next level.

Just like Carmelo Anthony, the current King of NY will stay the King of NY and not demand a trade unless he is ran out of town. Players know coaching changes are a part of the game.

I never said that I don't like Tom, I can’t speak for everyone else though. I posted that gif to mess with melo moreso than trying to read Brunson's thoughts
Everything I've said about Tom in criticism is about basketball, it's not personal or me trolling, but I am frustrated I do admit.
Last two seasons I never had an issue with Tom's coaching at all, but this year there are things happening that are too hard to ignore and i do not think he has remotely gotten the best out of this roster as constructed.

I am a big proponent of the Thompson boys but Jalen Brunson backs down from no one.
