Official 2017-2018 Knicks season thread

[ballinsam23]

I was bored and went over to read some RealGM threads, came across this thread. This is epic because I watched the Perry Mills end of season press conference and they actually mentioned this dude...

Indications are Budenholzer, David Fizdale and David Blatt, who helped himself in his interview, have emerged as the top three candidates.

I'm not even arguing with y'all.

This thread is trash now. I saw exactly what was said.

Totally jumped to conclusions because too many black people were being interviewed for y'alls liking. Didn't even give it a chance to play out. Now they're talking to Blat and Bud and all is well again.

And got the nerve to call other people ignorant.

i aint eem peep that

To be fair though....its MIKE WOODSON b

I would rather have Stackhouse than Fizdale. Working with G-League guys is a great experience for working with young dudes.

 

[you go boy]

fizdale shouldnt even be an option

Now this I don't agree with, he did real good work in Memphis in his short time. If Gasol didn't push him out along with all those injuries he would still be there.

If it’s not Bud, Stack or Blatt I’ll be disappointed

 

[the gr8est]

if we gon hire a black coach then just hire herb williams already... hes put in his time here and deserves a shot

Knicks need to bring Herb back. And Herb has to write a tell-all book about his time with the Knicks and all the coaches/regimes he survived through. Instant best seller.

As far as the coaches go, I would love Bud or Stackhouse and I could talk myself into Blatt and Mark Jackson.

Honestly I'd like Blatt alot more if it wasn't for his obvious connections to Steve Mills. But that could also be a blessing in disguise because if he's the coach we need and he does well than that's obviously awesome, and if he falls on his face it means we would finally get rid of that cockroach Mills. If we hire Blatt, Mills is essentially tying his job to Blatt.

**** Fizdale

EDIT: according to Woj we interviewed Mike Brown and the coaching interviews are now complete. Mills/Perry will now huddle up to make a decision.

Stack is my choice. Wouldn’t be upset with Bud obviously. Just wanna see Stack get that opportunity.

 

[floodarea]

That’s all fine and dandy but I still have zero interest in damaged goods

 

[nick.]

Budenholzer
Stackhouse
Blatt

 

[ballinsam23]

We don’t have nearly the assets they do anyway

 

[nick.]

Everything but our 2018 pick, Porzingis, and Frank should be on the table

Bucks set to pursue Budenholzer

Gotta make this choice quick

If Bud wants to meet with the Bucks, he's gonna do it. Nothing we could do except offer more money.

Seems like another Kerr situation. Phil wanted Kerr, word got out, Kerr took the job with a much better Warriors team.

Yeah but Bud has also made it vocal the Knicks are his top choice

When 100% healthy the Bucks ain’t really that much better of a put together team than we are anyway imo

Only thing that makes the Bucks job appealing is Giannis & Middleton

 

[nick.]

So nothing

Basically.

This is the Melo situation all over again but we have less assets to give up.

oh god

 

[ballinsam23]

I'd usually be all for trading for a MVP candidate two way player, but not this time. Unless they want Kanter, THJ, Lee, and a pick.

Besides that, there is no point of making this move as we're not one piece away.

 

[100027]

Listen I love Kawhi but there's no way for us to make this move without screwing our franchise for the forseeable future.

Also Frank would probably ball the F out under Pop.

 

[ballinsam23]

I don’t think Frank will ever be as good as Kawhi. If they want Frank they can have him, Frank + FRP? Na. One or the other.
