Its way to convoluted to accuratly assign who is to blame specifically. The process of knick progress is layer upon layer. That Miller and his staff have accelerated then we have to accept who put them in the positon to succeed? Mills hired them. Oops, can't go there and hang at the cool kids lunch table. Who fired Mills? Oh shyt, it was Dolan. So lets say the GM, the guy over see's the coaching staff. "Perry"??? That will also get you booted from the lunch table.
"I want Miller, but want all above him who put him in the position to succeed to be fired"? Hmmm, thats messed up.
Safe to say Frank has improved this year. Break it down in 5 game incremants thru the season. Yearly stats don't tell the whole story. Same for RJ, and Mitch. This is how teams break down progress and futher into where they shoot, % of finishes to rim, spots on the floor, form on shots, how far they are into a shift, etc. We see "Why did they take x player out?? Cuz they get tired, they lose form, they get foul prone, they are fatigued..... Not that a coach is stupid. We get to second guess the bad result.
That said, Mills is gone, Perry is being considered and Rose might have designed to further refine the process in place, starphuch the living daylights or some combo of anything. He might not even know.
What was done was done. All we got is what can be going forward.
What to do with Frank, DSjr, etc depends on opportunities as they arrive or are created by Leon the professional or via the draft. Im resolved we draft 7th or better. The fact is the team playing better the last few weeks moved us from better odds but thats how how it goes. Even Knox looked like he was breaking thru a barrier with is aggressive play. My thesis is he can shoot, but now he is better at other things and the shot comes back.
Frank? He is juking. His % is up the last 10 games and he is feeling it. The shots then fall. Mitch? Too bad if its a short season but he was historical. Give him a short jumper next and then some let it fly.
Who we draft? My thinking is we either draft a guard or trade for one. I'd almost rather trade as we know the yoot need time.
Longest tenured knick is Frank. If traded he is more valuable now then when Berman had his exiles.
