Rick gets lead assistant and a raise despite never being a lead assistant before
Jalen gets named captain and signs for less than max
Bryant gets rewarded for his loyalty with a plane ticket
Was Bryant close with Rick or did Rick see his as an obstacle because Bryant is the better coach just ask Divo

Ask yourself this. Does Rick Brunson get named lead assistant on any other of the 29 NBA teams?

I think this is nothing burger. If you look at Rick's past relationship with Thibs and his past as a player/coach, I don't think it's out of the question that Rick gets elevated to lead assistant. I'll post the Wikipedia entries for both. As we saw with Randle/Donte trades, Leon isn't here to make friends. As for the reason Bryant left? Who knows?

From January to April 2007, Brunson worked as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets, focusing on player development. From 2007 to 2009, he was with the University of Virginia as the Cavaliers' director of basketball operations. In May 2009, Brunson was hired as assistant coach for the Hartford Hawks men's basketball team.[5] On September 8, 2010, Brunson was hired as an assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls.[6]

During the 2012–13 season, Brunson served as an assistant coach to Mike Dunlap on the Charlotte Bobcats' staff.[7]

On September 25, 2016, Brunson was hired by the Minnesota Timberwolves as an assistant coach. In May 2018, Brunson resigned amidst allegations made against him regarding misconduct toward two women, while strongly denying the accusations.[9]

Brunson coached at Camden High School in Camden, New Jersey.[10] He was Dajuan Wagner Jr.'s head coach. Brunson resigned prior to the 2020–21 season while Camden High was ranked the #7 team in the country,[11] but changed his mind a couple days later and remained the coach until 2022.[12]

On June 2, 2022, Brunson was hired by the New York Knicks as an assistant coach.[13

Bryant started coaching at the Bryant Sports Academy, a skill development program through which he worked with athletes of all ages, including former Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap and Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.[4]

On September 25, 2012, Bryant was hired by the Utah Jazz as a player development assistant.[4] On June 24, 2014, he was promoted to assistant coach under head coach Quin Snyder.[5]

On September 4, 2020, Bryant was named the associate head coach of the New York Knicks.[6]

Jonny Bryant was a diamond. I’m sorry to see him gone and a little pissed if it turns out he was forced out in a Rick Brunson power play.

imagine being pissed about something you literally fabricated from thin air. I hope the Knicks can recover

Sometimes where there is smoke, there is fire. The league is investigating so according to you, the league office fabricated this?
