Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Carolina Slim]

Vogel isn't that far off of Thibs. Also we know for a fact he like's the triangle cause he once hired a Shaw to run it. They could add Shaw to the Triangle Staff already there, Bring over Vogel's defensive guy, maybe keep a few of those OKC development guys. It would be a great Staff

Story is that Yung Luke is trying to get him to come out to LA and coach with him.

He wanted more control

that wasn't the case. Glen offered more control. That wasn't a sticking point in Thibs' negotiations with anyone.

The rumor is Jim Buss is resistant to it just because he doesn't want to many of Phil's people on the staff.

We reached out to Frank Vogel but not Tom Thibodeau.

I prefer Thibs myself, but check out their post season comparison
Thibs: 23 W, 28 L, .451 winning percentage (1 ECF, 2 second round exits, 2 first round exits)
Vogel: 31 W, 30 L, .508 winning percentage (2 ECF, 1 second round exit, 2 first round exits)

That's not a bad look, albeit there are plenty of variables in play.

Word.

He can't be this lazy. On the surface, he makes like 10 decisions or less, per year.

If we stand pat this offseason with Rambis and strike out with player personnel, the jig will be up. His inactivity will not be considered some mysterious zen move.

It will be like the Black Wiz and Richard Pryor.....exposed as weak and powerless.

I used to think these dudes were smart.

I'm fine with blatt or Vogel but a lot of what happens this year depends on the upgrades to this roster as well and KP and the youngins progression

Oh Yeah Melo Won't Roll Over Blatt At All

the thing is the media will go after melo if he's wrong and the Knicks are also suppose to building for the future as opposed to the cavs championship contenders

No chance that happens, Carmelo has nowhere near the benefit of the doubt, or the built up goodwill, from his fanbase that Lebron has/had

With that said, I still prefer Vogel

Hopefully the instability in Memphis and having the chance to cash out in free agency gives Conley a reason to look into coming here.

When has Melo ever done that?

 

[ThaBronxBully]

When has Melo ever done that?

George Karl? Mike D'Antoni?

I'm Not Here Saying Melo Is A Diva, I Just Think He's Quick To Write Off Coaches If The Vibe Isn't There.

I Happen To Think Vogel Would Get More Out Of Him Than Blatt Ever Would

Not for the max he'll possibly be seeking and easily can get.
