You don’t put out a championship mandate as Leon did, and then hire someone who’s never been a head coach ever..

[Capn'O]

Maybe George Karl can light a fire into KAT. He's a proven winner but I do worry about his health and age.

How about Don Nelson?

How about Rick Adelman?

Aw man, I can't hate on Rick.

He have any other kids???

I'm interested in him staying in Dallas.

Knowing how Leon moves, I think Kidd is being looked at 1st n foremost because of Giannis… everything else (relationship with Jalen, former Knick, close with the Mavs trainer we got, coaching accomplishments/NBA Finals last year, etc) comes second.

Then you shouldn’t put out a statement saying it’s all about a championship. Because Kidd has never coached a team to a championship. He didn’t hold Luka accountable for being out of shape and poor defense during the finals last year. What a ****ing mess this is already.

Let's just bring back Mike D'Antoni.

I'm only half joking.

I want Bryant. We need modern basketball.

Plus Bryant doesn't have a history of physical and sexual abuse but what do I know.

I tried to warn y'all. There are a lot of ways to screw up a Thibs firing.

I'd also worry about him being a jerk.

I'm also convinced that George is pretty racist based on what he said about Carmelo.

If your theory is correct, then maybe we should hire Luke Walton -- or bring back Fizdale.

Both have been head coaches. Still, that doesn't automatically make them championship-caliber coaches.

The next coach needs to be someone who's knowledgeable in the modern NBA, who has the skill to juggle star personalities and egos, and who can think outside the box and not solely rely on what's "always worked" for 30 years. Someone willing to develop young players and acknowledge their bench exists would be good as well.

With the right assistant by his side (possibly a vet), I think Johnnie Bryant is the right person for the job.

Jason Kidd makes some sense. He’s already coached Brunson so there’s familiarity there. Don’t have to worry about him adjusting to the Nee York media and spotlight, we know his history there as a player. He’s got experience as a head coach so he won’t be a rookie being thrown into the fire. And he brings a new voice that the team might need.

I'm with you. I want Bryant.

But I never get what I want. I wanted Morena Baccarin and that never happened either.

[god shammgod]

It’s probably kidd because of his relationship to Brunson. His willingness to tell stars on his team that they’re sucking on defense publicly. And that he’ll probably be easier to control than Thibs was by management.

It might not be about X’s and O’s.

if the defense is gonna be ass/mediocre might as well

Oh, absolutely. He trashed plenty of black players on those rosters because "they grew up without fathers." Just about any star who's played for him outside of Payton/kemp has called him a snake in the grass. And I haven't specifically heard them talk highly of him either.

or intentional tanking the Knicks' season to get the Nets' head coach job days later after the team is eliminated from the playoffs.

Talk about taking this post out of context, you could literally mention every coach that has stunk..my point is the same, you don’t hire a first time coach if it’s championship or bust..it’s clearly the reason why Bryant has not been hired yet. With Bryant no longer in the phoenix running, if Rose wanted Bryant he’d be announced today, but as I said originally you don’t hire a first time coach after you declare this season as championship or bust..whether we agree with it or not..it’s just simple to put the pieces together

Are those differences worth enough to make this change, in your opinion?

He's probably a little more flexible too.

The quote about Thibs being a pain in the ass yesterday... seemed to sum it up.

Did you see the clip of what JR and Carmelo saw when they entered his office for the first time in Denver.

Wouldn’t getting Giannis be all about a championship? 2 birds 1 stone. Kidd was instrumental in that 2020 Lakers title as the top assistant too… Vogel ain’t that good.
