Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[King Static X]

I'm not even entertaining the idea of Kidd being the new Knicks' head coach.

If that happens, my Knicks fandom would temporarily be on pause.

Rick Pitino 'absolutely not' interested in coaching Knicks again

St. John's coach Rick Pitino, who previously led the Knicks from 1987-89, says he's "absolutely not" interested in coaching the team again in the wake of Tom Thibodeau's firing.

nikka, I just got this update from ESPN and my heart sank before I read the headline fully

And your shoes ugly…

Brunson doesn’t need that.

He’s on the shortlist of game managers in the league.

Top 3 iso player, clutch player of the year, near 3:1 assist to turnover ratio, 8th in total assists.

If he were 6’6 nobody would give a shyt about his decisions even tho he’s more effective than 6’6 nikkas. It’s height bias and position purity shyt. Improve the bench, get a second guy who can dribble, and he won’t have to “hijack”. But best believe the best play when it all boils down is the ball in JB’s hands and if we ever win it’s going to come down to JB’s iso game.

No bro, he needs to be able to better balance his score first instinct for getting his and getting others theirs as a way to make it easier to for him to get his.

The Sabrina Ionescu 2's clear that by a landslide.

THSI!

THSI!

It’s not about him having the ball less, it’s about him getting everyone else going so it’s easier for him to score and the offense can run without him having to put up 30 or 40 as many times as he did for them to win.

It’s a mindset issue not an ability issue. Basically Thibs has been letting him ISO like Derrick Rose and we need him to be more of a floor general because there are pieces around him. It’s literally something Kidd had that separated him from a lot of his superstar peers.

These nikkas are mid and Kidd was overrated.

As a player or a coach? Cause if your saying he was overrated as a player you are out of your mind.

As a coach I don’t know man his resume isn’t bad at all. He and Thibs both won a championship as an assistant. As HC both been to the conference finals twice, Kidd made it to the finals at least which Thibs hasn’t. He’s coached Giannis, Luka, and Brunson before….

The Mavs have still not come out and said the knicks can’t interview Kidd.

I agree that he's got late-lottery written all over his tape. But I wouldn't be surprised if gm's rate him below 4-6 other Centers in this draft, which leaves room to slide after factoring team needs. I consistently see Queen, Maluach, Sorber, and Wolf stacked ahead of him at a minimum.

Well I get Queen, Maluach and maybe Sorber.

Wolf to me screams I'll have a 13 year career as a backup.

 

[Stop_It_5]

What are we doing here man?

Reminds me of the Marcus Smart trade rumors, front office has spent 5 years moving in absolute stealth from the KAT/Bridges trades to dismissing Thibs but now their list of coaches is leaking every day

The Sabrina Ionescu 2's clear that by a landslide.

The A'One's do too...

Sorber's nice. Wolf...I don't get it either. There's a French cat I haven't watched yet who I've seen in the 18-25 range that I haven't properly checked out to judge too. Beringer

Raw player. Tools are there but he's raw. But he's another first rounder for sure.

That 18-32 range you're gonna see a run on bigs.

2nd round will just be euros and small wings that are buckets but won't be asked to do that in the NBA.
