Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[g-ice]

Y'all gotta ignore all the drama.

Y'all looking crazy over this shyt even if it's making the team look inept.

I don’t support those coaches getting canned and most those organizations are worse off for it.

ECF is a different result.

When’s the last time the Knicks beat a team of Boston’s caliber? The 70’s?

Bro you got to stop worrying about this shyt. You acting like the Knicks pulled a Mike Malone and fired Thibs before the playoffs. I know the finals are boring but you can’t obsess over this.

Honestly, they shouldn’t have extended him. Brunson basically got him that extension. Lost in the first round in year one and didn’t make the playoffs in year 2. Had Brunson not arrived, they wouldn’t have made it this far.

Nah, he earned that extension.

There is a 132 days until the beginning of the season.

We’re running out of time, everybody

I think some of the mainstream media is being disingenuous. Either they didn't watch the season, the playoffs, or they want to create more of a story because it's NY. No one can objectively look at our roster & really watched how the season & playoffs played out & say we played our best basketball or the players/roster were put in the best position to succeed. Thibs couldn't get out of his own damn way to help the team more than he did

I think a lot of it is disingenuous too. I wonder how some of these guys reacted when Mikal Bridges said that the starters needed a break or when the Knicks were in a dogfight against Detroit in round one. I know Thibs caught heat from plenty of media personalities prior to getting fired, but now it feels like they've granted him sainthood.

...and just as a reminder, I was on the "keep Thibs because there aren't that many better coaches" boat. I'm just bothered by how overdramatic the media is being, and particularly Shams who I really feel is just being vindictive because Leon and Woj had a better working relationship.

Truth bro! They're creating news & making it bigger than what it was for headlines. Like most of these non Knick coli posters regurgitating the same weak talking points. It goes to show they're either being disingenuous or don't watch the Knicks lol. Like teams haven't/don't do what the Knicks are doing contacting coaches.

That's why I'm not worried about what this FO's doing like in times past

It also reminds me of the last coaching search that ended up with Thibs. The Knicks interviews a ton of coaches, and the media kept dropping hot takes disguised as rumors or inside information. The worst part is this is just a pregame...the second KD and Giannis trade rumors start, we'll be buried in rumors that will all be spun negative.

"Knicks inquire about Giannis, but they're delusional!"
"Knicks not interested in Giannis, not even trying for a generational talent is a misstep"
"Knicks made offer for Giannis but were rebuffed, the audacity to make an offer is insane"
"Giannis to San Antonio for 6 picks, Devin Vassell, and Harrison Barnes...the Knicks will never win a championship now."
