Will be very interested to see what Phil says about this if true. Beck is saying on Twitter that negotiations are early but mutual interest. Have to wonder if we'll be playing the Triangle next year. Which makes me wonder if Phil lost a power struggle. Other people saying this on Twitter too.

I like this because it shows me he knows how imporant guards are that can shoot and drive to the hoop. We are already set in the frontcourt we just need some guards and a better bench.

He was put in a horrible situation with Morris after his brother was traded and injuries crushed them. We know Tyson can't fix a locker room. Love this hire.

Phoenix had a middle of the road defense and top offense in Horny's coach of the year season. Dragic and Bledsoe running a two Pg attack with lots of pushing the ball and corner threes. His defensive coaching seems sound, he just didn't have a great roster for that. Seeing how his style meshes with Phil will be interesting. But this is an exciting, modern coach for KP, Grant, and Wroten. Curious to see Melo's reaction. He's on the Tonight Show tonight but they probably already filmed

What an azz Lupica has become.. What was Joe Torres record when the Yanks hired him?

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

Is he still talking about Woodson? I had to stop listwning to him because he always brought up Phil firing Woodson and couldnt resist the cheapsots at Phil either. And i am saying this about a guy who was one of the reasons i wanted to get into sports journalism in college.

Maybe he can be a player coach. He'd be a better SG option than Afflalo right now!

Its only left field for those that believe the isola or Berman.

Nobody knows what Phil is going to do. That's why he goes on vacation in the middle of a coaching search. He's the only one in control... we need to learn from the Zen Master

So i guess Van Gundy said he heard that Hornacek will not be required to run the triangle offense and also said it's an inspiring hire. You can find this on Brian Geltzeiler's twitter account....whoever that is.

THE MEDIA GETS IT RIGHT AGAIN!!!!!

There are few things I really revel in, but watching the NY media totally whiff is utterly enjoyable. It was Rambis all along!

Super interesting is the triangle understory.

I can honestly see this:
Phil and Jeff meet extensively. They quickly find a chemistry, and regardless of potential differences in BB philosophy they can both immediately tell that communication will be good. Jeff says "Phil... I know your system. Trust me nobody knows it better than I do! But here is your roster, and if I had the same team I would have won 50 games and here is how. They spend the next 2 hours drinking beers talking the chess of basketball. Phil is smitten, but cool and remains reserved. Phil goes to Montana and shrooms. Day two its moonshine. Day three Maryjane comes and steals the hangover away. With the cleansing golden trifecta of clear thought having opened his mind he calls Jeff and says "Lets make this happen."

I like this. Out of the box. Great hoops guy. Uber high IQ player. Really cant wait to hear about the offense he's gonna run and if Rambis is on the staff in any capacity more than a player development guy.
