If we somehow get Kidd that’s the precursor to Giannis

Possibly

Knicks poach a head coach from another team? With all our future assets?

I think Kidd would be a really good fit here but I wouldn’t give up draft picks for him.

Kenny Payne, Mike Woodson were as well. I think.

Seems like over the years Thibs went from a guy who would do anything for a job and to get another chance, including allowing his boss to dictate his staff, to going back to “my way or the highway” after finding success here. Seems like his refusal to take suggestions on the starting lineup and bench only to do it under desperation later did him in. I could see how that situation would get him fired when the stakes are so high.

Thibs has been known to butt heads with the FO before he did with the bulls they got security to escort him out the building

I’ve always liked Kidd as a coach and he would probably be my first choice but he’s not available unless you want to send the mavericks draft picks.

I'd love him as a coach but can't see it happening with the #1 pick coming in etc

Yeah Dallas is going to want a 1st.

Maybe but the interview with Kidd and Nico after trading Luka was pretty crazy. Kidd looked like a hostage being forced to say he loved his captors. He clearly was blindsided by the trade and didn’t support it.

between espn and tnt the only people I like are Breen and Harlan. Reggie has been trying really hard to be objective but still fails.

everyone else including shaq and chuck can retire at this point.

Good thing TNt lost the nba. 25 years of Barkley bashing the Knicks f that fat f.

I loved Barkley for the longest time. But it seems lately he just wants lazy, controversial takes rather than anything insightful

always thought Shaq was a dummy. He was one of the most dominant guys I ever saw but never really worked on his game and was and is a megalomaniac

I truly hated the van gundys as analysts. their schtick was tiresome and I know JVG is popular around here but (a) never got it done even with super talented squads and (b) the schtick about no blood, no foul etc. c'mon you quit; you're a phony. he was better than his brother Stan though

Kidd turned Giannis into a superstar but Bud got him the ring.

Giannis loves Kidd about as much as any player loves a former coach … this is pretty heavily documented

this is a good point. I forgot about that

What about Cooper though. You don't think Kidd wants to coach him with far less pressure than Knicks will create

all three playoff series were crazy and suspenseful, and now this????
