Official '24-'25 knicks season thread, KAT

[nick.]

How are you gonna say Thibs hasn't developed anyone, name players that developed into stars while he was coach, then give the coach no credit at all?

Randle came here & made two All-Star/NBA teams. Quickley is about to sign for $100M. Brunson just had a career year.

I'm not even a Thibs guy like that but come on

 

[ballinsam23]

There's a rebuttal for all those guys.

Randle was an established NBA player when he came here. Went from 3rd option to 1st option so naturally his regular season stats would balloon. Playoffs proved other wise.

Brunson was an established player and was already a budding star based on his playoff performances. Not sure how Thibs made him better.

Maybe IQ, we can give Thibs credit for IQs defense, but these Kentucky guards all turn into good NBA players regardless of their coach.

Did KAT get better under Thibs? Wiggins? Lavine?

They all got better when him or they left

Thibs has a set culture and set system so there is some structure which players might like. You have to be specific type of player to like playing for Thibs

 

[Coupé It]

That players poll that showed that most of the league doesnt want to play for Thibs was all I needed to know.

The NBA players poll wasn’t even close.

Thibs ran away with like 45%

 

[Coupé It]

Brunson was who he was before he ever came here. Dallas was just to stupid to realize it.

As for Julius….please. Oh wow Thibs gave the keys to a third rate player who he now treats like a top 10 guy. And now Julius is holding our progression as a team hostage.

Congratulations on the regular season awards tho. But we all know it was Brunson.

If all it takes to become an All-NBA player is opportunity then half the league would be in contention.

I just think it's weird how the criteria changes based on if we like the person or not. We like Obi so coach is holding him back. We didn't like Frank or Knox so they suck & are busts. We like Brunson so the team success is thanks to him. We don't like Randle so we'd be better without him.

some more details

 

[ballinsam23]

Weird time for Obi to complain, when he knows exactly what his minutes under Thibs will be.

RIP Porzingis goin to Boston.

Talking about Dirt Cheap ..

Dang ...

 

[paulminus]

Did KAT get better under Thibs? Wiggins? Lavine?

Jimmy did.

 

[Mark Antony]

Thibs didn't even know Jimmy was developing.

 

[ballinsam23]

Jimmy don’t even like Thibs.

 

[Coupé It]

Thibs didn't even know Jimmy was developing.

This one had me really LOL

that Celtics trade.

The Knicks better get Lavine now if that’s on the table. Or Ingram if the Pelicans are seriously trading.

Just look at that Boston lineup now

Seeing at what teams are getting in these trades are making me not mind a Lavine trade if we can get him for a good price...

 

[ballinsam23]

The timing of this Obi audio leak is crazy

Either someone is trying to lower his trade value or not get him traded at all.

 

[floodarea]

glad someone at least spoke up in that locker room and said what everyone was thinking

would’ve never in a million years thought it’d be obi

bro just became my favorite knick and he about to get flown outta here

 

[Coupé It]

Obi is a Hero.

 

[ballinsam23]

Knew I chose the right avy

 

[Coupé It]

Knew I chose the right avy

I was just about to say. If it wasn’t for you having the Obi avy. I’d change mine right now to him.

 

[big j 33]

Obi and filler and a pick for Lavine.

All the way on board.

 

[fac3 tak30v312]

Obi and filler and a pick for Lavine.

All the way on board.

You really want to see Obi trying to take Mitch/Randle head every Bulls - Knicks matchup

I’m still all in on a swinging a Porzingas trade with the Wizards and Spurs if it hasn’t gone through

Fournier to the Spurs. Spurs player to Wizards and whoever else the Knicks have to throw in for salary

Julius is a top 15 guy according to his all NBA nod ..
