Meanwhile Ewing never got a break. Enough already. If Bud or Blatt are likely then don’t overthink it.
STEP IT UP GENTLEMAN
Saw this in the daily news article about Howard.
Prior to Howard’s interview being reported by ESPN, a source told the Daily News that rumblings around the league is that the hire will be somebody not mentioned in the media. Howard’s coaching profile is largely unknown but being with the Heat — an organization known for accountability and player development — looks good on the resume, much like with Fizdale.

Wtf???!!! Hmm OK we will seee
My interviews on Tuesday. Just so you guys know I'm going to tank next season
I had mine yesterday. Ran into Knicks1248 as he left his. Asked him how it went. He said Perry did all the talkning and Mills just sat there, eye was quivering, teeth clinched, one eye squinting at him, the other was like like he was mad at something. He said Perry was cool until knicks1248 said “he’d fill in the dots” but Perry thought he was talking about his face.
My inteview went great btw!
I turned them down. I dont like Princeton!
Is there a plan? They can’t make a decision because they’re afraid they are going to f’ it up. When over thinking a process it wreaks of no plan of action.

Wait, wait, wait....He needs to answer a few a questions first. Now, do you consider yourself a blues man? Would you feel comfortable cancelling a team meeting if your boss ever alerted you that a really awesome cover band was performing down the block? Do you play an instrument? Let's say you were in a band and the front man doesn't have the best voice. Would you tell him straight to his face or would you wait until band practice is over to come up with ways to discretely work around the issue? Do you like Three Dog Night covers?
My thing is this process is taking too long. The former Atlanta coach, fizdale, and Blatt are the clear favorites. We are going to be capped out after 2019, so the clear plan moving forward is tank next year, get another high draft pick, let Canter's deal expire and try to sign a max guy next summer, sign KP to his extension next summer, and then hope we compiled enough to be competitive. Why go through a month long process for a coach? It reeks of either indecisiveness or arrogance in believing the NK job is so great that we can leave multiple people hanging while we drag our feet.
I'd be interviewing as many candidates as I could. You have to remember, the Knicks do not have any kind of winning culture or any kind of player development or any kind of analytics foundation. We're starting from scratch. To me, these interviews is as much about information gathering and getting the lay of the land on how other teams are doing these things as it is about finding the best candidate. Budenholzer on the surface is probably the no brainer guy to pick, but we need to build an entire staff along with the coach so we are probably trying to find guys to fill out all the holes we have. I'd be looking for a strong video coordinator, defensive coordinator, player development guy, analytics guy, etc etc etc. You know, the things other winning teams have that we have no clue about.

I understand your point but at some point you have to make a decision, and if the guys we have in charge are that clueless as to what a winning culture needs that they have to spend a month interviewing people, then we probably need new guys in charge. We should have a coach hired by Friday.
Interviewing Howard is treasonous!
YOu guys do realize there are other teams doing the same thing, right?
The past does not include This FO combo and yet we create dialog indicting the full knick history on Mills and Perry?

But then not every team is looking for a head coach. But you’re right again Nalod. I personally think the Knicksnare waiting to see where they land in the draft before making any decisions. Personally they should just call up the G-League coach.

Last Knicks game was 11 Apr, feels like it's just you who is impatient. Some of the targets were still coaching. 10 coaches in 2+ weeks is pretty fucking fast, it's 1 every other day.

Miller has the least credentials of any of the 10 interviewed. He was given a very good Gleague roster.
Not saying he "sucks".
Charlotte, Orlando, Memphis (Filled INTERNALLY), ATL, Knicks, And Phx. Milwaukee has Punty as Interm.
That's 5 open jobs and not a one but Memphis has filled it.
Now, im not trying to connect the dots on Scott Perry's face with a conspiracy, but looks to me like there is a moratorium to the effect that most teams are giving candidates lots of opportunity to interview. Does that mean some teams have who they want already in there sights? Can't imagine not.
No doubt some of you are projecting our own views into the process and given our history its going to be a bad look unless Coach Bud gets the nod.
Seems he has the "It" look. I defend Blatt because other than his beef with Lebron he is nearly as attractive as Messina and Budd. I suppose we look at his "friendship" with Mills as a bad thing? This guy has won EVERYWHERE. Lebron is a force not for a rookie NBA coach no matter how good his cred is. In no way was Blatt prepared to coach that team!!! Do any of you every learn from an experience and be better for it? Or do you repeat the same thing over and over? Blatt is a bright guy, don't any of you fathom how any successful person grows from experiences both good and bad? Do you still like to touch the orange thing on the stove?
Do you think JVG would "Quit" on us again?
If Blatt has something to prove he will have to address this with knicks and do a good job convincing them he'd be ok to handle the Unicorn and Media.
Same for Bud, that fresh face dude who Pop had to about kick out of the SAS house did quit on ATL in a sense as he wants out of his contract. Bit of a Diva Move? Of course not, he is fresh!!! COme to NY we'll find all kinds of things to hate on him in time.
If we hire Blatt, why can't Perry be on board with that? Why can't he look in the room and see the Princeton Trio of Blatt, Mills, and Craig Robinson and think "these guys are tight, Bright, hungry, and want to win!!!
Might be thinking the same about Bud. Some of you would be threatened by hiring someone like Bud and think "He will want my job, he did in ATL, he'll do it here".
Again, that's not on the table unless you were in the room. NObody here is in the room.
Knicks have a developmental plan in place. Its essential Bud or any coach be totally on board with that. Is Bud's way better? I don't know, he has done some good things! Lets just say they have to be complimentary.
Personally I want Bud as my first choice but Blatt was my on my list before. I have to think Perry if he has any input will hire "His Guy". Its possible Blatt is "His Guy". If we are signing Lebron, I concede that we don't hire him. In fact, let Lebron be player coach. Its what he does anyway and hard to argue with the results.
Even Lue has health problems, a young man BTW. Lebron Kills coaches, but in a good way.
In the end Mills and Perry will come to some consensus choice that might require one or both of them to find a middle ground.

Kp will ask for a S&T after his 5th straight lottery season, and NO FA will want to sign here.
I don't think any GM is rushing to extend (let alone maxing him out)a player right away after the kind of acl injury KP had.
Remember the high flying MCdyess, even curry got a low ball extension after the ankle injuries kept him off the floor.
At first i was a little impatient with the coaching search, but considering their track record, let them take all the time they need, even if they interview 10 more..Just get it right

more of your BS based off your own BS.
1) make something up
2) bitch about it like its a fact
KP will ask for a S&T... man you suck

You continue to look at every thing with rose pedal glasses like he is a lock. (you said i sucked in for saying JH was going to get fired in january) I heard everything his brother said after last season ended, and i can pull up the quotes if you need me too, but i know you read it yourself.
All you should really care about is putting a winning product on the floor no matter who's in a knicks uniform. It's like you care more about the player then the team.
So what if KP or anyone is traded, as long as we get better what difference does it matter.
Wake up an stop turning everything into a negative.
As much as I love to have KP, there are possibilities that you can't ignore

I think KP will leave also. I hope he doesn’t though.

I disagree. I like that they are exploring many options and taking their time. I thought Berman wrote a really good article today on the coaching search. From Berman,
he Knicks have conducted an international search and it’s been a blessed opportunity for Mills, who wasn’t allowed to embark on an earnest mission of intelligence under Phil Jackson.At an April 12 press conference, Mills talked about “an intellectual curiosity” among NBA front offices. He’s consulted with other team executives such as Golden State’s esteemed Bob Myers on “what it takes to be a coach in the NBA’’ regarding candidates “who can absorb all of the things different about today’s game.”
Mills listed the differences: “The use of analytics, the significance of the physical training and performance staff, how you incorporate player development into a holistic approach to coach a team.”
Perhaps it’s a lot of rhetoric, but more relevant rhetoric than triangle rhetoric.
The Jackson/Mills tandem was a forced marriage and bad timing by owner James Dolan, who plays the guitar better than he evaluates whether an offensive system is played out.
Meanwhile, Mills/Perry have become basketball’s Frick and Frack.
“We work very closely together,’’ Mills said. “We work in tandem and I give Scott the flexibility of [doing] what he thinks is right.’’
In those two Zen master coaching searches, Mills was restricted. After Jackson’s top choice, Steve Kerr, reneged, Jackson spoke only to Derek Fisher and made the hire
