Trey Murphy would be ideal, but extremely expensive to acquire and even if the Pelicans say they’re listening on everyone, he’s the least likely piece on their roster to get moved.
I’m curious how open Sacramento would be to moving Keegan Murray. I think his shooting would play excellently around the Cade-Duren PnR.
Hey he can’t be the least likely to get moved when the highest paid guy who never plays is publicly accused of sexual assault
Fair enough lol Maybe I’ll add a qualifier: least likely guy to get moved among the players other teams actually want
Are we getting another Hurley saga this offseason?
Most likely:
Jeff Van Gundy
Mike Malone
Taylor Jenkins
I think they won’t want a first time head coach
Hot assistants:
Chris Quinn (Miami)
Sean Sweeney (Dallas)
Dave Bliss (OKC)
Can’t rule out Johnny Bryant (Thibs assistant the two years before this one) due to familiarity
Need to bring in Jay Wright to coach the Villanova Knicks.
Is there actually a huge difference between Malone and Thibs? Jenkins is obviously very different but doesn’t have the playoff experience. JVG…I mean, okay.
Bulls should hire Jenkins so ofc they’ll just re-hire Boylen.
This isn’t my prescription, but I just think this is an org that’s going to go after an established name.
TPTSNBN made the comment that while generally supportive of the decision, they’d lean on it being MORE likely firing Thibs makes the Knicks worse, but just note this is really the last club in the bag for them to play to make this team a title contender and not a conference champion contender
I’m not a huge Thibs guy but I don’t really see what path is there for this same group to make a leap. This is what a Jalen Brunson led team is gonna look like 
I’m not saying it’s going to work, but I think the general idea is “less Brunson pounding the rock every possession” and more ball/player movement
I think I’d tend to agree that the odds of them IMPROVING aren’t awesome, but also it’s hard to imagine this getting better with Thibs, and if the org decides “championship or bust” is preferable to “pretty good team for a few years that engages the fans” (which I think is often a noble goal!) then this decision makes sense along those lines.
The Knicks top six (Brunson, Kat, OG, Bridges, Robinson, Hart) is championship quality. They just need a 7, 8 and 9. A new coach that has a plan for utilizing all that offensive talent, should be able to identify three veteran minimum players that can fit what he needs. (Another initiator is key.)
Mostly agree though I think they’ve consistently overachieved my expectations. They’re a strong team but likely not an EC champ even in a weak Eastern conference.
But that’s the point of firing the coach. As others are saying, if there’s something else to unlock with this team, only Not Thibs can do it even if the odds of Not Thibs being better than Thibs isn’t very high.
When Thibs went to more of this they did look a lot more dangerous on O I thought. Think it also saves Brunson’s legs so he can hopefully be more useful on D.
I think there’s room for more. There’s a TON of talent in that starting lineup. Not just KAT but the two wings are often afterthoughts. Brunson is amazing but every clutch scorer in the league would love to have a floor that spread.
The Orlando Magic go with their 90’s look but with a worse font 
That’s a MSU walk on turned owner hiring a guy who worked under Izzo (same with the and came from a team owned by another huge MSU donor. Oh and the new GM also worked with Izzo lol.
He might have tried hiring Izzo as well
Ishbia a bottom 5 owner in the 4 major sports?
