Kidd looks like the front runner for the Knicks job Better than Thibs, but I’d rather have Atkinson. |

Kidd looks like the front runner for the Knicks job Better than Thibs, but I’d rather have Atkinson. For the Knicks, yeah. I'd rather have Thibs than Kidd if I had a veteran team, but the Knicks are perpetually in the first year of a rebuild. Thibs would wreck RJ and Robinson with minutes. Atkinson is ideal. Udoka isn't a bad prospective coach, but his first job being that franchise in that market is a recipe for a bad time. Atkinson is not only a local, but also has previous experience, and experience in the market and is good. Honestly, if they just don't hire Mike Brown, it's a small win off-season. -Fired dipshit Fizdale. -Didn't hire Brown. Bare minimum for success, which is like the Knicks' tagline the last 20 years. |

The bar is so low on coaching for the Knicks right now that anything competent from Kidd would be a win My thing with Kidd is, he is essentially a next step coach unless he has learned from his mistakes. Brooklyn run had unfair expectations but once he left they rebuilt it with Atkinson later on. Mil he turned them into a good but not great team and they hired Mike and he has them a contender. If Kidd learned from his mistakes it is a great hire but either way, if Kidd can get them good in 3 years and you have to hire a new coach to take you over the hump they will take that Atkinson I still think is the best choice. However, Kidd was a major force in why the Knicks had the winning season they did the year he came to play backup PG. Hopefully, it works out |

A competent coach, if uninspiring. To cross sports: Kidd is a double, Atkinson is a HR, and Mike Brown is striking out and having your bat fly into the stands and knock a child out. |

I liked Fiz and thought he got a raw deal in Memphis but like Mike Brown, you are a great assistant but you aren't HC material because you don't adapt Kidd will do well enough. I think he will bring the best out of RJ from a guard perspective and make his court vision improve. They need a PG in the draft tho. I'm willing to give Rose benefit since his moves has been decent thus far but don't do that stupid shit again signing Vets because you had to spend money |

Knicks and Thibs finalizing a 5 year deal according to Woj.
I hope RJ Barrett has rested up during this lockdown. He's not going to rest very much over the next 5 years.

I have not hated a Knicks hire this much in years. He is the most accomplished out the bunch but his accomplishments haven't been felt in years and his shortcomings have been felt longer
If Tom has not learned since his Bulls days, RJ and Mitch will be f***ed in 3 years. It is their biggest name hire since D'Antoni in 08
I can only hope he's learned a lesson. Minnesota ended badly for him and he had a young promising team on the rise
The best thing that could happen is Knicks get a point and Thibs is an excellent defensive coach and finally let's Mitch loose and he turns into Prime Joahkim Noah with more atheleticism.

The comments under Woj's Tweets about this Thibs signing are hilarious. Everyone knows Thibs is going to run these guys into the ground.
All the Knicks needed to do was hire a Dwayne Casey type. Someone harmless and mediocre who would hold young players accountable and keep the seat warm until the roster becomes better. Once the Knicks roster looks better, then the real coaching candidates become options. Thibs was the worst possible hire, IMO.

His two coaching stints have basically been just that. Atkinson was the best hire considering he just had a young BK team and had made them attractive and helping people like D'Lo and Dinwiddie reach their potential Just can't help but shake the feeling this is another Knicks we are going to rush the gameplan type move. |

Yeah, Atkinson would have been the best hire of the 3 candidates. Not sure why he lost out. He only lost the BK job because of Kyrie, not because of his ability. Between Kidd and Thibs, I would have picked Kidd. He's not a coach who is going to lead you to greatness, but he's not going to destroy your young players in the process. There is some real risk with Thibs, especially if you give him a short bench. If he's learned from his prior mistakes, then maybe this turns out ok. Him playing guys 48 minutes every night is practically a meme now so I'm sure he knows about it. Just have to hope he's changed. |

Him playing guys 48 minutes every night is practically a meme now so I'm sure he knows about it. Just have to hope he's changed. The best person to benefit from the Thibs hire will be Mitch Robinson. He is going to ride him which is what is needed because his time has been inconsistent. He's going to try to make that boy Joahkim Noah and it is doable since Robinson has all the tools The rest of the roster tho? Idk. Chicago he ran that team into the ground and their prime didn't last as long as it should have. Deng, Rose, and Noah all broke down. Rose has been able to get back right as a sixth man but he should been still competing with Westbrook. Minnesota ended bad because he wanted to make them Bulls 2.0. When he got tired of Wiggins and KAT he tried to put Butler on them by proxy and it blew up. Now, this is probably his last chance as a big time coach with the Knicks. He's not going to be a guy content on just teaching if he's going to get replaced or fired in 5 years. I just don't trust him to break old habits |

Thibs strikes me as far too stubborn to ever change. He’s going to be the exact same coach he’s always been.

Domantas Sabonis is out for the Pacers, and left the team entirely. Between him and Oladipo, there's no real reason to think we'll do anything.

The Knicks problem is perpetually Dolan. He constantly sees this team as the Sixers or the Heat when they're the Wizards. Rebuild you fool. This mf out here building a house windows-first. Screw laying the foundation, let's start with the vaulted ceilings, a real crowd pleaser.

So Lou Will looks to be in trouble
He asked to leave the bubble due to family emergency. Apparently a picture got posted and deleted of him in a strip club and now the NBA is looking into it

So, Lou Will did admit gong to the strip club. Apparently he loves Magic City food to the point they named something after him
Stupid tho. He left the bubble because his grandfather died and then he goes to party/get food. Know he tight at Jack Harlow for posting up that pic

Now The Kings just need big names from the Blazers, Pelicans, Spurs, and Grizzlies to head out to strip clubs to have a shot at the playoffs.
