You're GM Of The Knicks, Who Do You Hire?

[Johnnydollaz89]

Mark Jackson?
Luke Walton?
Tom Thibadou?
Brian Shaw?
Kevin Ollie?
Scott Brooks?
Or stay with Kurt Rambis?

You decide.

Brian Shaw makes the most sense. Phil still loves the triangle and Brian Shaw was a top assistant of Phil's when he was on the Lakers. They'd be immediately on the same page from day 1 on what they want to accomplish. He probably would have been the guy on Phil's radar if he had been available right away.

Thibbs probably second, Luke probably third.

 

[RP-29]

Jack Daniel's?

Tom Thibodeau.....(the sooner the better)

Scottie Brooks would be my 2nd choice..(could also be a nice draw for Kevin Durant to sign with them )


Steve Kerr's back troubles have resurfaced and may force him to step away from the team again and possibly retire...which means Luke Walton could/should in fact officially get the Dubs' gig full time once & for all when it's all said and done.

This team needs to be taught defense actually matters so I'd go with Thibodeau as well.

Thibbs!

At the end of the season. Keep Rambis till then.

 

[Heatles84]

Go with Thibs starting next season. Of everyone that's been under Phil's umbrella, his coaches tend to suck (unless we're counting Kerr who was a player under him). Thibs will have your team in the mix with his defensive system.

Who will Phil go with? Probably Shaw given that Phil will want to run the triangle.

 

[Bolts]

Isiah Thomas!

Buttttt, if Phil plans to go back to LA, i'm not sure Shaw is the option. If Jackson is gone, so should the triangle.

they'll keep and use aspects of the triangle...but it won't be a primary option moving forward.

 

[The Derski]

I don't hire Luke Walton as I feel sympathy for the Suns and I'll let Luke coach in his old college state. He can be groomed to take over for Sean Miller in about 20 years. Of course in the mean time he will win titles with the Suns.

It shouldn't be. It hasn't worked in years. And i'm not even a Knicks fan.

What they've been doing this year doesn't look much like the Triangle. Last year they tried to run it -- but it looked pretty ugly.

I think the next coach will emphasize the "Tex Winter Triangle."

it hasn't worked mainly due to the fact they've been lacking a legit floor general...(point guard)

 

[The Derski]

I think it's a little fucked up when the NBA tries to pry college coaches from their programs. UCONN deserves Kevin Ollie. He'd be retarded to jump into the shitstorm that is the Knicks.

The real shit storm is going on down there in the desert, brah.....

Suns are beyond effing horrible.


(btw: I agree...Ollie should remain w/ UConn)

We're playing without our two starting guards and our 6th man. Two are out for the season and one hasn't played in a month and who knows when he'll be back.

 

[The Derski]

And if you're going to be "effing horrible" this is the season to do it. It's basically a 5 team race for Ben Simmons.

Blah blah blah

Okay......and that doesn't negate the fact they were horrible even before those things happened?
Why was Hornacek fired?

They were about a .500 team before Bledsoe went down. I have no idea why Hornacek was fired. If the front office wants to find a solution, they themselves should jump off a bridge.
