Rose and his GM should take a long look at Atkinson...He did a great job of developing the young net players

KD and Kyrie's presence seem to push the so-called developmental coach out while they search for a coach who they think is championship ready? Seems like a move made to appease KD and Kyrie.

Hmmmmm.....wonder which players wanted him gone? I'm sure if a certain 2 players wanted him to stay, he wouldn't have gotten fired.

A coach who actually developed players and got them to overachieve even to the playoffs? Hell yeah! Of course it seems the superstars who virtually never played for him tuned him out. If the Leon Rose era will mean attracting big time FA's then I suppose it won't happen, but looking at our current roster and draft picks it would make a lot of sense.

No idea why. He’s a really good coach. We should hire him.

Someone said he is a CAA client.

I hope eventually we can move past the “CAA client” automatic link assumption.

Dude is a good coach, and that’s why Leon should look into him.

Wonder if he hadn’t already

It doesn’t hurt that the pres has relationship with him. Everyone that knows Rose seems to like him.
Hunting CAA clients is better than hunting triangle guys. Agree that he is a very good coach.

Leon has been given a softball pitch here. Gotta hire a GM first but think this is a no-brainer

Knows MSG, knows NYC, is a prime development coach, is a young and upcoming coach.

What am I missing?

Oh, Kenny probably mutually agreed knowing he doesn’t have to move his family with Knick opportunity.

Literally wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t in the works or in Kenny’s head when Leon was hired. And now I have to give credit to Crush for reminding us about CAA connection

Agreed this is a blessing and we'd be foolish not to take it. Can always keep Miller as an assistant too

Makes too much sense....Hope it works out for us!
