I think Hardy's great interview disrutped the process.

He's at an age where unless you are entrenched, it's not a help to be older. Thibs will likely be fired in 2 to 3 years, he knows it, the Knicks know it. So the Knicks aren't looking to pay him longer than that. Rose is going to want a line of succession coach on the staff if Thibs is the head coach. That's the sticking point beyond the money. The real problem of course is there were people in the league administration who suggested to Dolan to look at Travis Schlenk before he took the Hawks job. It's kind of interesting when I see some people here say the NBA wants NY to fail. Honestly, they very much want the Knicks to succeed, it only increases the bottom line for the entire league money wise. Schlenk has done a wonderful job with the Hawks given their situation. From what I hear, several people on the Heat offered to cut their own salaries to try to get Schlenk to stay, he was seen as that much of a rising star. People want to work with him, if Dolan has listened, the Knicks would have way more options in their coaching search. I hope Rose works out, as he's the defacto GM now, but honestly there was so much front office talent out there that a cash rich team like the Knicks could have had. Small market teams have better medical and scouting staffs than the Knicks. Also better international/outreach systems entrenched overseas. The LA Dodgers are showing what happens when you combine financial might with actual front office talent. The fact that Thibs is a front runner ( he's not a bad coach by any stretch) is basically another tax on this team for having Dolan at the top. How do you **** this up? I mean Jesus H Christ, the league is literally handing you a top shelf executive, you only need to hire the guy, sign a big check and leave him alone and let him run his calculator brigade and let him rebuild your team into a winner for you. |

So was your friend your agent prior to him offering your a job? What Ego trip are you on? seems Thibs and Leon were friends because he was his agent. Somtimes you get friendly with someone you work with because you get to know them, and RESPECT THEM! RESPECT EARNED FROM SEEING THEM WORK UP CLOSE! ITS JUST NEPOTISM IF THE RELATIONSHIP FIRST AND FORMOST. For you to forego an opportunity from a friend must mean one of you are not comfortable with it. Maybe you felt your friend was being charitable? Since your GF is his cousin, maybe your sort of not cool or embarrassed with something in the relationship? |
