I’m all in favor giving someone up and coming a shot at head coach, but it seems clear that Knicks management doesn’t want to do that. And there is the risk that whoever you hire is incompetent at the new level. Look at this article about the Suns’ new coach. I read it thinking I would be envious of them, but for some reason I don’t understand, I came away thinking this is going to be a disaster for the Suns. Maybe it was the sheer number of platitudes quoted from the coach or maybe it was the promise of a much more hands-on owner. Did anyone else get the same impression?

One of the weirdest, funniest plays I’ve ever seen in the Yankee game just now.

What if we just trade the players who create the problems for players who solve them?

We are probably around 90% on the same page.

I love most of this team, but I don’t like the fit and I’m starting to see some of the downsides to Jalen’s father being a coach and Jalen and Josh being best friends. Certain things that I would do are more difficult.

I’m fine with Jenkins. If we are going to go for a more creative offense with Towns and Brunson, imo he’s a good choice. If we wind up with Brown, I think the team will do fine, but I’d also say it’s around even money I’m going to get banned by mid season because I’m going to be miserable. At that point I’m going to want to clean house starting World Wide Wes right down the line. I’ve seen enough of his teams to know that much. I’ll immediately start thinking about the 2030 rebuild.

Phil Jackson’s eleven rings were relegated to lolPhil.

Phil won 11 rings as a coach and a player, not as an executive, at which he sucked. That was not a Knicks problem (except for hiring him).

I confess, I don’t like the thumbs up buttons.

Yeah fwiw I’ve always appreciated that this is one of the few remaining places where if you want to express yourself you need to write a sentence.

No thumbs up is the emotional equivalent of ten thumbs down.

I confess, I don’t like the thumbs up buttons. But given that they are there, here’s another test

James Dolan is not a terrible owner!

You may not like him as a person, and he clearly was not good in the past, but now he hires capable people and lets them do their job. Not only that, but he’s willing to spend, not just on player salaries, but on a big scouting staff, and other support. What’s so bad about that?

I just listened to a Begley interview and oh boy has he changed his tune about Dolan’s involvement. Now it’s “a Leon Rose-led decision, is the most accurate way to put it”, and “Leon Rose got this decision to the finish line is more accurate”.

He also clarified that his baseless statement that Leon would have resigned if Dolan had made this decision was actually his understanding of what would have happened at some point in 2022 when Thibs was on the hot seat, and he just assumed that since it would have happened then that it would have happened now.
