I think Budenholzer is the right choice. HE did wonders with an Atlanta team that is not as good as they performed, IMO.
Compensation question is the only issue. A 1st is a tough call for a team trying to rebuild. Also THJr really got his game togehter under him. Defense first coach is great!! |

i am all in on budenholzer. he did a fantastic job with the hawks, those teams weren't exactly oozing with talent. i like the fact that he wants to take on the challenge of coaching here and his history with the spurs also is a big positive. lets go get this guy.

Bud is a sure thing. The only question is the price needed to trade for him.
With Bud you know the player development will be on point. You know Thjr will play his best bball. Frank & KP will reach the next level. You could take a shot at Khrie Thomas and expect the development necessary for him to become a stud 2-way PG. Or Mikal and expect him to develop his offensive arsenal. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Budenholzer
Atlanta is in a bit of a pickle if reports are true that Bud wants NY Are they going to keep him with Atlanta when he doesn't want to be there; will other teams offer more than cash, and if so does he want to go anyplace else (5)(5)

I like a lot of the candidates but Budenholzer is the clear choice to me

Yup, Budenholzer for me too (unless we have to give up picks)- ticks all the boxes: player development for young players, getting the most out of vets, smart, good coaching pedigree (Spurs), got teams to over achieve.

Look there are a lot of teams that are chronically stuck at the bottom -- always drafting early and they still suck SO yes who wouldn't want to draft later and have more choice, but it seems pretty clear to me the bigger priority is getting a FO which knows how to spot talent (even in 2d round) and a coach who is smart -- the smarter the better (5)(5)

Nalod would be the first to agree that Budenholzer is a better choice than Blatt. He is a very good coach who wants to be here. Made it very clear. Supposed to be a great teacher, but runs a tight ship. Im sure Timmy would be psyched, had nothing but good things to say about his old coach.
