Read todays articles on UK home page. Nalod been saying the last few days that he is not ****ing stupid and can learn. Today Thibs is quoted as saying "he has visited teams in his year off, learned the science of it, and will use that to better manage players and practice". Knick fan boys have read what Thibs been up to since he fired. Look it up. Im not Thibs insider but when I read he was visiting with other coaches this is the kind of **** they do.
Think Leons has not discussed this with him? Maybe even suggesting before he got fired as his agent to ease up?
Two owners do not define a coaches acumen. Dolan and Glen taylor. Neither has a good record running their teams. Taylor might learning to lay back a bit finally. Just because he fired Thibs don't make his issues legit.
Be it as it may, Thibs like many coaches do build in what they know. Somtimes they are to blame, sometimes not. Thibs did good in chicago then burned them out. OK, Townes and Wiggins wilted under him.
Imagine Townes and Coach Cal have talked it out. Leon and Cal are buds. Think Leon has not called Calipari and discussed what KAT and Thibs beef was about? Some of you really think your the only ones concerned about this?
Coaches are always wild cards and each team is different. He might push rj hard and he responds to Jimmy Butler like greatness. Thibs inherits a bull dog defender in Frank. That might be a great match. 21 years old and needs stability, Im rooting for frank and to get his shooting together. Frank needs stabilty. 3 coaches in three years. Thibs will be 4th. "Trade him to stability?" it will still be his 4 coach in so many years. This braintrust I trust more than fans to make the call. Im a fan. What do I know other than was it written?
Weird, If anyone could be compared to DRose its Dennsi Smith. Maybe Thibs can unlock whats in this kid? Somtimes players just out grow their bodies and what was projected of them. Dennis looks built more like a young marshon Lynch than a basketball player. It happens, players bodies change. Frank looks like he just finished puberty. Same for Knox. Don't matter what I think, its what Walt Perrin thinks!!!!
Draft. Who will Thibs want? WE don't know the lottery. I goe Wiseman, then some order of Edwards, Ball, and the Dayton Kid. Im drafting the best player, not position. If its Lamelo I propose:
1. Dolan and Oak settle their beef. Oak has to submitt to counciling but Dolan pays Oak one million a year for community service outreach other things.
2. Oak goes to some Manchurian Candidate/A Clockwork Orange type mind phuch adjustment were he is forced to watch hours of Lavar Ball rants on video while drugged. Eyes open with drops, pure torture. There is a reason for this and its where oak makes his money...........
3. Oak gets unlimited bar tab and sits next to Lavar Ball at every game and is under his supervision when in the building. Oak just stares at him and when so annoyed, just slaps him. Thibs woops Lamelo into a better Jason Kidd and Lavar shuts the phuch up. Garden is alive and Oak is loved. Dolan looks like a genius. Dolan needs this, Oak needs this and lord knows we need Lavar to be a good dad.
