Oh shit - imagine that one.
2 names mentioned by an NBA Writer and Isola that I haven't seen yet -- both are ? marks in terms of being gettable.
Jason Kidd ----- I think he's become an outstanding coach
Chris Paul ----- this was via Isola and it would be extremely interesting (even as a player coach)

Trying not to because it would be official that Leon doesnt know what he's doing. Too many better candidates out there.

Both would be very interesting. One immediate issue, both were pass first point guards. Do they develop that (some) with JB or is this a square peg and round hole situation

Paul would be a gamble as a player/coach. Dont know how Brunson would respond as team captain.
But the locker room knows he's a future HOFer. The respect would be there.
But Id lean toward Paul coaching in street clothes. All his attention on coaching. Not healing.

I’ve always liked Kidd as a coach and he would probably be my first choice but he’s not available unless you want to send the mavericks draft picks.

between espn and tnt the only people I like are Breen and Harlan. Reggie has been trying really hard to be objective but still fails.
everyone else including shaq and chuck can retire at this point.
Good thing TNt lost the nba. 25 years of Barkley bashing the Knicks f that fat f.

Obviously, its going to be Jay Wright.
Wait. Kenny Atkinson is still the Cavs coach right? I don't understand the odds
LOL classic interwebs
also no Malone?
Same AI that wrote RFK Jr MAHA paper
I had never heard this before: Thibs wanted Knicks to draft Jalen Williams.
This would have been the Ousmane Dieng, Jalen Williams, Jalen Duren draft where Knicks used assets to get space for Brunson.

Found this interesting also … Begley reported that Leon hired Johnny Bryant, it was not a Thibs hire, and he felt he was one of the best young coaches and wanted him to be part of the rebuild.

If we somehow get Kidd that’s the precursor to Giannis
We can dream.....
From Thibs back to Thibsdale

Kenny Payne, Mike Woodson were as well. I think.

Possibly
Knicks poach a head coach from another team? With all our future assets?

Seems like over the years Thibs went from a guy who would do anything for a job and to get another chance, including allowing his boss to dictate his staff, to going back to “my way or the highway” after finding success here. Seems like his refusal to take suggestions on the starting lineup and bench only to do it under desperation later did him in. I could see how that situation would get him fired when the stakes are so high.

No clue how that would all work just going based on Isola

I think Kidd would be a really good fit here but I wouldn’t give up draft picks for him.
