Grew up on 90s Knicks but my kids are named after Reed, Monroe & Frazier. All I wanted as a kid was a NYK license plate & somehow I ended up w/a MSG commercial!

If you thought Thibs was good enough for a ring then a wash is a good thing.

It’s a wash tbh, but he’s our coach and we’re riding with him.

But he didn't play Keon Ellis so don't be excited or something like that.

I agree there was depth in 2023. Also Hart played almost 30% less minutes that season.

Like the hire. Collaboration a buzz word in getting annoyed with. FO made the roster, signed FA, made decisions on the coaching staff and then hired the HC. That's not collaboration, that's the FO getting it done there way. And that's OK.

Some things I've heard from sources as we move through the day -- this Knicks search was a long process, lot of research to find who fit that went beyond the 4 coaches who were interviewed -- and what Brown brought that fit is leadership and collaboration.

Ppl said this was a mad up thing by thibs defenders and were weird for suggesting the possibility. It's all good - I like the signings. Hoping ppl consider being more open minded moving forward.

It is impossible, like not possible for a coach of the Knicks to be universally liked. Also even if the coach objectively does a GREAT job, many content creators and fans will complain about usage and usage after each and every game. It is what it is. Go Knicks.

Being in a position where if he chooses not to start Deuce McBride large parts of the fan base will dislike him is an absolutely insane spot to be in but we are here.

Idk how to judge coaches but Mike Brown is certainly a good enough coach and I think a good enough communicator to deal with the NY media and that matters too. He can be a bit fiery tho which will make for some entertaining pressers. He'll get a lot of grace from me FWIW.

One guy is under contract and one isn't idk why you'd possible compare them. It's KAT at the 4 v whoever else you can trade Randle for at the 4. That alternative won't be better than KAT. Also KAT can productively play the 5 where Randle can't. That flexibility matters too.

@CAPTAINPEARLNYK Randle is much better than kat when both play the 4.

If you are still upset thibs was fired bc you think he was good enough to win a chip then you don't need the next coach to be "better" than him.

This is a made up thing led by loud ppl who declared you only make the trade to start KAT at C. You make the trade for a better player under contract when the worse player won't extend and continue to build the best roster possible. Maybe that's at the 5 or 4 or both.

I support starting Mitch because he’s the best player but I’m pretty sure the FO supporting that starting lineup is indicative of them regretting the KAT-Randle trade given that trusting KAT at the 5 is the only way to justify the move.

I'm not sure how much players character matters to me in our pursuit of a ring but. so many called FOs bad for not signing him and/or only signing him to a small and short contract. Not every red flag is a headline like this but could be small like attitude, focus, etc.

Sad to see. When the Wolves let him go, it wasn’t because of his talent. It was largely because they were worried they couldn’t trust him off the court.

In a lot of ways I'm much more excited for this season than I was before the start of last. And before the start of last season we had 2 new starters . .

Everyone wanted "collaboration". That's where thibs failed they said. But now the FO picks players and assistant coaches which is the opposite of that. I mean it is OK IMO - just funny to me I always get a kick out of the TL being inconsistent. Idk how you fire Rick. .

I genuinely think making Rick Brunson stay on the coaching staff has a trickle down effect.

With a new coach, new philosophy, new style of play / plays. Is it possible if we see a variety of lineups, the net rating of last years starting 5 could be our best starting lineup this year?.

Clarkston 3pt % not great but you're crazy if you think opposing teams are comfortable just leaving him open. Being a willing shooter should factor into %s.
