Sources have indicated the Knicks have strong feelings for the defensive-minded Budenholzer, who guided the Hawks to the playoffs in four of his first five seasons. The Knicks are well aware of the good work he did helping Tim Hardaway Jr.’s career when he played in Atlanta. The drawback is they have no prior connection to him, but the plus is he’s part of the Gregg Popovich coaching tre

I dont want to hear Bud wasnt hired because they dont have a prior connection. Thats how you get Fisher and Rambis.

Your golden there. If Mills hires Bud and knicks continue to struggle, you can blame MIlls.


No compensation will be needed to hire Budenholzer — once thought of as a potential stumbling block to any potential deal. The Post previously reported an NBA source saying Budenholzer considers the Knicks his “top choice.” “If they offered him the job, he’d say yes,’’ the source told The Post. “He wants to live in New York.’’

The only way i blame mills is if he gives him a trashy roster to work with, and honestly, JH had a decent roster considering the knicks showed they could compete with anyone and should have won 40 games.

we were 2-8 in kps last 10 games, 6 of which both him and THJ played

Chandler @ 4/26/2018 11:03 AM
With Wright out, Budenholzer is my favorite and no idea who else could emerge that I would prefer

If Knicks are sold on him they should move fast. It would be good for all involved (e.g., showing confidence in the decision to the new coach; getting on with a real off season plan)

Should definitely start the dialogue with him ASAP on things like the roster, coaching staff etc. How would you use KP, Kanter, THJ, Frank, Burke

What should we/team be thinking in draft and trades and why -- whether it's individuals or skillsets?

While FO should be making the personnel calls, it should have the benefit of the coach's input

Look close at those games and recall what the dynamic was.
Also, KP won't be back until Jan and likely not himself for most of next year, and I expect another development type season.
How long you will you incessantly apply the same redundant diatribe then?
This team is shyt, we all get it, we are looking for paths of improvement, not backwards finger pointing.

Yeah i saw that too, but i don't have a link. His trainer said KP will be ready by the start of the season. He said what the Knicks do with him at that point is not up to him, but he will be physically ready to play.

SupremeCommander @ 4/26/2018 11:59 AM
if the Knicks don't hire him soon, then he's probably waiting for the Milwaukee job to open up

Colker is part of an aggressive faction regarding ACL timetables. While the Knicks likely won’t let Porzingis play until around Christmas (the 10-month mark) at the earliest, Colker says he’ll have him ready for opening night.

take it for what it's worth, didn't kp also state he heals quicker than most

Nalod @ 4/26/2018 1:38 PM
They call him "the lizard" because he heals so quick.
Great job Knicks1248, lets structure the team to "Win now" because his over exuberant trainer says so.
Lets say his return is average, you still treat him carefully for a year.
My point is next year I don't have high expectations even if Red Auerbach coached this team.
YOu bring me this to say your have higher expectations?

Its not even clear he's rehapping KP, rather working on everything else. KP is still working w/ the Knicks docs and trainers for rehab. He sees Colker 3x a week. KP will be back on a regular ACL timeframe.

I guess that trainer will be spending some time with him in Latvia, and i'm sure he will be monitoring his progress either way. He wouldn't have said he will be ready if he wasn't going to be hands-on with his recovery. I think he will be back playing right at the 10 month mark, so early Dec.

Very quiet on the KNicks coaching front this past week. (edit - Blatt was interviewed yesterday in Europe) I think all the candidates have been interviewed right? So what is the hold up? Coach Budz is a FA like the rest so that is not it.

This makes me think they are going in a different direction or they are completely confused! Bring the top 3 in for 2nd interviews, let's go!! I really hope they don't miss out on a good coach because of inept decision making.

Coach Budz has proven he can wing with low talent and he is a teacher. He wants NY. Defense first.....and yes, some triangle too....maybe that's it? Whatever he calls it, his offense is mostly good.
