One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Dolan will get over it. Ya’ll are making every excuse possible for KAT/Brunson not working and I get it. Both guys are likable, but there is inherent chemistry issues with this team. They had to bring in PJ, these guys aren’t meshing at all defensively all season, and in the conference finals it’s a liability on both defense and offense.The trading KAT stuff is nonsense as it would surely be the end of Leon Rose if that happened. We all know that Dolan absolutely loved Julius (like a son) and it took Leon a lot to convince Dolan that trading Julius/breaking up the NOVA family was the right move. It was so controversial that a day after it happened in the NYpost that there were leaks from executives (looks at you World Wide Wes) that not everybody was on board with this trade.
The Fournier contract was a disaster alongside Nerlens Noel and Kemba contracts but that was saved by signing Brunson
But THIS!!! Leon can not trade KAT and face Dolan afterwards. KAT is Leon’s golden piece and his guy.
Side note: I’m worried about KAT’s long term health. Two meniscus surgeries and his kneecap in consistent pain is bothersome. Watching KAT movements from March on you know he’s in pain.
Leon has to make that Brunson and KAT pairing work.
Leon isn’t on a hot seat, he’s delivered. Thibs isn’t on a hot seat he delivered, Brunson left money on the table like a good soldier so while he should be sent out, both the locker room toxicity and just players who saw what he did to stay would make that the wrong move.
Look at what led to KAT being here. Hartenstein took the money from OKC, Randle told the FO he wasn’t doing a cheap extension and wanted a Max contract, Mitch was injured and there was no center on the roster. Rosas who they just promoted wanted to bring in the best player he drafted. They did the right move at that time to fix the holes on the roster, and I expect them to do the right move at this time to fix the additional holes identified.
