Knicks · Mmmm..Rumor possibility, T.Thibodeau takes 1yr off? Is key & Knicks may be 1st to get coach: *Dump Fisher becomes inevitable (page 1)

Whadda ya all think ? Why not ?

If Tom T takes a family 1 year off this will be a DREAM come true for Knicks fans and DJ.

REPORTS Thibodeau sittings out 1 yr.
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/05/20/r...

The same was reported this morning on WFAN/Boonmer and Carton show this morning if you all listened in.

Also what is key that some 2nd rumor reports Tom T possibly isn't interested in Magic, Pelicans NOR Orland Magic opportunities
to be there short term NBA Coach
http://chicago.suntimes.com/basketball/7...

We will see what occurs with Knicks Derick Fisher improvement ? or more vital his so called safe relationship
with Mr Zenmaster Phil Jackson which DJ does not believe ex Laker Fisher philosophies is as good and consistent
with Phil Jackson's plan as Phil would like fans to think.

Coach Derick Fisher need to show improvement with a somewhat planned better squad and healthy Carmelo Anthony
even if Knicks come close to a NBA Playoff spot and do not make it.

Throw in DJ's super factor that the EAST will be WEAKER than the past 2 years

If you're Derick Fisher you'd better NOT Think your Knick coaching job is safe
despite his $$$ great contract.

I stated here before repeatedly I don't see Derick Fisher cut out for Coaching in NewYork, the greatest Pro sports town
and DJ does not think one minute that better roster players will make any significant improvement on what KNICKS basketball
objectives are whether offensively OR defensively.

I also feel that both Phil Jackson and Derick Fisher will be on NBA Hotseat 2015 /2016 to define what team they are trying to build
especially with Phil Jackson once again proclaiming the "triangle offense" is on the shelve for now.

Does anyone believe great Phil ZEN thinks that if he can make statement about putting Triangle Offense on hold
that bode's well for believe that Knick coach Derick Fisher is the man for that ? even as a Ex laker Point guard?

I honestly believe if Coach Thibodeau wants the Knick Job and Tom T' is proven winner & having had Derrick Rose for
close to less than 1/2 time of Derrick Rose famed career and still won (made nba playoffs)

Do not think for 1 sec or minute that Knicks bosses are not watching, especially Phil Jackson whom wont have
Knicks position forever & he knows that he's on the clock.

Concluding Tom Thibodeau is a good choice & I believe is respected and can work with
the confusions of Knicks management that includes both Phil and his boss James Dolan.

Stay tuned !
Happily stated

No real coach will want to be Phil's puppet..

This is a very different job here in NY. Phil is the one setting the direction of the franchise and he's chosen his own people. People who know his system and believe in it. This isn't the most flexible situation for non Triangle coaches, but Thibs doesn't have any specific loyalty to an offensive system, so he could actually be an option. I don't think he cares what offense we run as long as Phil gave him defensive players to work with.

I don't think Fish is currently in any danger, but I could see Thibs being an option if he was still available and Fish wasn't getting it done.

Fisher is going to have a big year. He ain't going anywhere.

"a rumor posibility"............

What does Phil and Thibs have in common? Do they know each other? Have philosophical allience? Compatable?
Mutual Admiration? Will we have a roster constructed compatable with his philosphy?
Would he be compatable with the assistants? The Triangle?

a rumor has to have some basis, not just wishful thinking. YOu may want Thibs. Thats ok.

if thibs comes on board it probably means dolan is taking the reigns again and that would overshadow any good news that would come out of the thibs hiring...

I would hire Mark Jackson before giving Thib a chance

These things aren't rumors - they are manufactured, whimsical, and insincere lies. There is a contingent of NY media and anti-fans who forever trash the team, players, and everyone associated with the team for the promise of some savior on the horizon just out of reach. Once in reach, they too get the same treatment. An endless loop of disatisfaction and self-immolation.

The last thing Melo needs is a draconian taskmaster who will run him into the ground and leave us with yet another expensive, worthless contract.

Bottom line - if Phil screws up this summer and next season, there's a very real chance both he and Fisher are gone by next May.

Then Isiah can hire Thibs.
