The same Pitino who cut bait on Billups months after drafting him in the lottery? Pitino had success with the Knicks, but was a disaster with the Celtics. Wouldn't hurt bringing him in for an interview, but he'd be low on my list. He would really have to blow my socks off.

Wasn't it Pitino who said Donovan would be a star. Yeah i know one expects a coach to say that, but it could also be the case he knows which players will translate to NBA

SVG? He doesn't even like himself!!!!!

Leading by two with some 3 seconds left — after a timeout — they let the shooter who had made 8 three pointers that night take one more to end the game.

"You never want to lose any game, but especially when you got a solid lead. But give them credit," Knicks coach David Fizdale said. "They turned up their defense on us and they really shot the heck out of that 3 ball. I mean, 17 for 48 from 3. That's pretty impressive. And obviously the last one was the backbreaker."

I forgot about Iso Joe. Talk about a guy not patient enough to develop the youth. Also, note that none of organizations he leaves are left in good order when he's gone. I'm sure Louisville would still make that deal with the devil, but we can't deal at this point in time.

Not worried about Pitino making trades as he would just be a coach. Rick has had a messy affair in Louisville but his basketball acumen is still high. That's my concern. The ladies of the night thing was sort of the last straw for him. I don't really put it on him but he is the "head coach" and it falls on his shoulders. To go for a young coach we had hoped to grow with the job to freaking out 10 games into season two and then suggest bring in 67 year old Rick with his Caitlyn Jenner looking facelift is a panic move.

Not sure why this coach thing is even come up.
The team is not ready to compete. This is a fact everybody knows.
It is understandable that fans want wins and as usual are projecting their hopes for the future into now.
This does not change the reality of it. Team still sucks.
And it will with any coach.
Of course if we will hire some no-name assistant or NBA newcomer just to set the expectations low it will be no coach firing talks.
Not sure why Fiz is coming with expectations. He achieved nothing in NBA so far.
His evaluation as a coach of the knicks can start when we will have NBA worthy roster. For now we have about 4-5 players out of 8-9 we need.
I am not talking about excuses. There is no ground for any evaluation of the coach so his performance is completely unknown.

So if no FA are coming here, development seems slower than ever, when do we start to evaluate him, after we issue him a contract extension?

when does accountability going to effect.. in 2025?

how many seasons have to end in december

I guess I can deal with the losing if she posts more of these

This whole season is meant to be a tribute to Randle and Morris because we are just so greatful they agreed to be in New York City.

I don't see it that way. This is reminiscent of when the king's signed Z Bo, Vince Carter and George Hill during Perry's tenure in 2017. I believe his thinking was that these dogs would eventually rub off on the young guys and they'd learn what it takes to compete in this league. I can see that line of reasoning. My counter point would be we still could've achieved that while still preserving cap space. I know things became squirrelly after the Bullock injury. But we didn't really need Ellington or Porter. Randle and Taj are adequate enough for back up center duty. I personally like the Morris signing and they didn't know he was available until after the fact. Hindsight is 20/20, but I would rather just sign Morris over Randle.

I don't get this..how are we not preserving cap space? All the guys we signed are expendable bar Randle until 2021 and 2020 FA is going to be the worst FA class we've had in forever.

Yes, we're flexible for next year's lame FA class. But I meant in terms of taking bad contracts for assets. Real talk...none of these guys, except for maybe Morris will have legit value before the trade deadline. If we're going to suck anyway, mind as well collect some assets.
