True. But I wish these same media clowns & pundits would talk more about long Thibs kept to a starting unit that didn't work with the analytics to prove it. Then he waits till the end of the damn playoffs to start experimenting lol. It's crazy how they're trying to spin this as if Thibs wasn't in control of his own destiny
They won’t cause people don’t want detailed analysis, they just want hot takes and to shyt talk online. It’s the world we in now unfortunately.

So much reactionary shyt in here like yall haven't watched this front office move silence the last 5 years.

"Knicks should have already had someone in mind!" - Why? Why should they have already had something lined up? For your peace of mind? To put you at ease that they're competent? 5 years of org building should show that. But even still, who says they haven't? Exhausting your options before making your final decision isn't indicative of anything and from what I can tell, the Knicks have inquired about coaches, doing their due diligence and nothing more. If someone got fired tomorrow, people would be crying the Knicks could have had X had they just waited; they're waiting and it's "they don't have a plan!". Some of yall make this shyt too easy.

They're doing an exhaustive search. It's like a company that lost their CEO. Nothing weird about knocking on some doors to see what's available and if someone might shake loose. All yall talking about their approach not being "normal" sound scary as fukk, or like you have no sense of how business works. You ever been cold approached by a recruiter for a job on LinkedIn? If so, something like this shouldn't be such a shock to the system. Why limit your search to what's currently available? Put all your cards on the table, have a plan A, B and Z and make the most informed decision.

To put it short, I'd be more worried if they already had someone lined up. That means they were already one foot out the door with Thibs and likely rushing to a decision, managing both their current coach and team as well as looking around for another one. Instead, they're free to singularly focus on the coach search and make the right pick.

Let them cook.

man look, there's exhaustive searches and wide nets and then poaching. If they coulda got any of the coaches they tried to lure away, they woulda had a new coach by now, simple and plain.


If Rosas coulda got his boy Finch, Finch would be coach right now (since that's kinda how he got Finch in the first place). Snyder, Donovan, whoever.

Where the media isn't cutting the Knicks slack is twofold:

1. They're naturally pissed at Dolan for cutting off access to them.

2. They don't think there's anyone good enough to replace Thibs.

Poachings all part of the game bruh.

No stone unturned.

If she's single, you got the whole world to compete with; if she's taken, you only have one to complete with. :myman:

Based on what?

:childplease: :comeon:

In the 5 years of this front office, the OG move and maybe the Brunson move are the only moves I can think of that were telegraphed /leaked.

I may not like every move but I've definitely learned all these outlets don't know shyt.

Not responding to shyt till it actually happens, not sure why anyone is reading deeply into any of this shyt.
