I'd imagine uncle Thibs will not see him kicked out of his apartment.

Im sure if the guys being let go have contracts they will be paid as per details.
I would imagine some of them had a heads up that the gig would last thru summer league but would be granted permission to interview if desired.

Jerk chicken ? In the Bronx where I live, you have so many Jerk food trucks that serve great chicken and Pork he should have come over then.

Minutes usage during regular season.

Knicks got lucky with injuries or lack thereof last season. We need our guys fresh for the playoffs I’d rather be the 5th seed and have a healthy OG and KAT for the playoffs then the 4th seed and be missing major players.

Having 3 guys in the top 5 for minutes per game - and all 5 starters in the top 25 in minutes per game - is just ridiculous honestly. That's just not responsible marathon NBA basketball. I don't think that was the reason he was fired, but I'm sure it was baked into the whole "Thibs won't listen to anybody about anything" vibe put out by the FO. And eventually that kind of burn would take its toll on these guys. The style of play was also grueling, specifically on offense. Just think about how hard Brunson and KAT had to work to get buckets.

Randle got the shoulder injury a couple years ago when he was left in garbage time of a game we were comfortably ahead by Thibs

Context:

1. Its not overlooked Thibs played his guys big minutes. Its been well discussed even before he was hired to be knicks coach.
2. Knicks were 29-17 coming to the end of january. They had blown out Defending champ Denver at home two nights earlier and were well on their way to another victory. Not like it was 2nd of a back to back. Jules had played 30 minutes in that Denver game.
3. Miami still had Bam and Butler in the game. They had not taken their starters out with 4:30 when the injuury occured. Have we not learned in the NBA leads with 5 min or so are not safe at some levels? Was it really "garbage time"? Jimmy Butler don't play garbage time.

Last year Knicks played its guys big minutes with a limited bench. It was no surprise as every pundit in the land "hated" on our lack of depth. Still we played rather healthy most of the year and made it to the ECF's on talent.
Thibs was fired for not bring the chemistry together. Playing big minutes might have factored into logic but if you look at max players in their primes they play big minutes. I'm not dismissing it could be a factor but only if FO was not happy with it.

Conclusion: Thibs was fired. That injury to Jules was a contact vs. a fatigue non contact injury. It could have occured any time. It was not meaningless minutes as Miami had not pulled it starters.

This is not a troll. This is a retort that ones opinion lacks the content and one can see by the video the starters were in the game for Miami and the box score demonstrates they too played their big guns big minutes that game. It was Not garbage time. Not until Miami surrenders. They had yet to.

A 17 point lead with over four minutes is definitely not a sure thing.

That injury cost us a championship. ****ing Jaime.

I love how you have to do this long drawn out over analysis to try to debunk what I said yet your best argument is “coulda happened anytime”

Yet its been said many times over and over the last two years and look at you making a simple statement to the contrary.
I did not "Try to debunk" what you said. I proved it.
Your response indicates it made you feel uncomfortable.
Why is that?

If he can help improve our 3 point defense, I'll be on the bandwagon in a blink of an eye.
