The clear choice is Jay Wright, right?I think it makes no sense for the Knicks or Hurley.
So maybe it’s happening.
Jay is happy doing what he’s doing - no chance whatsoeverThe clear choice is Jay Wright, right?![]()
This is a huge job especially the way Thibs has built the brand up. Personally I’d be surprised and disappointed if they fired Thibs to turn it over to an assistant who has accomplished what?Malone is the first name lots will say. But he clashed with front office in Denver and it seemed real bad at the end there.
Some will say he needed arguably the best player in the game.
Bryant makes a lot of sense. The connections to Rose and Wes. As someone mentioned Suns were hot after Bryant and maybe this is why Knicks struck quick.
Red Holzman?He was most logical choice. Maybe a former successful Knick coach returns?
The have won 2 championships OVER 50 years ago; the Rangers last won the Cup in 1994 over 30 years ago. Pointing out his "success" over the last 5 years ain't an NBA championship. David Stern said, "they are not a model of intelligent management". He bans Oakley from MSG and has facial recognition to ban his "enemies from MSG. He appointed Isaiah Thomas as President of the Liberty despite the sexual harassment incident. (Thomas was fired on the day the Tsai's took over.)So let me understand - we make the conference finals for the first time in 25 years and playoffs 4 of the past 5 years. If I could get a curse on me like that, I wouldn't be upset.
If you want a coach to get talent over the hump, Jackson is not it.You are probably right. I just wonder if Jeff Van Gundy, who has been successful as an assistant for the Clippers, and our own Mark Jackson aren't worth an interview.
You make a good point. Thought it was strange he retired early.Norm available
And coach Q...You make a good point. Thought it was strange he retired early.
This must have been done deal for a while

Very much a Larry David meme from me, in terms of wanting him gone from a STJ perspective but wanting him not to be the Knicks coach eitherGood - Hurley can stay in Storrs and far away from the Knicks. He is not equipped to be an NBA coach.
