Knicks

Very funny I also met him last year while in Greece and he was super friendly. We were in a pool together and I asked him what he’d think about joining Knicks because we’re so close to the top. Naturally he told me “I think we are close too” and that he absolutely loves NY but isn’t crazy about the ownership and taxes implications lol.

Really took the time to explain it all to me while swimming with our kids no less. A lot could change though, this was 10 months ago and their situation has gotten pretty dire in Milwaukee.

As I have been saying Fire Dolan, the root of all Knicks and Rangers problems. What coach would want to come here after the "Thibs treatment"?

Giannis comment about ownership says a lot; the NYS/C taxes can be handled in contract; until they fire Dolan, the other issue can't be.

Post season player interviews are common in many sports

Liked guys like Donte & Hartensstein, but this team went further and were slightly better

Not sure they were better but no argument because the only comparative criteria shows that they were, but obviously impossible to factor in opposition strength year to year.
As for post season interviews, they are a useful tool, no question, but to fire a five year successful coach and cite those interviews as the reason smells of scapegoating to me. I think the two trades were way more of a factor than Thibodeau in losing to Indiana.
Bridges is a good player, prone to disappear for significant stretches, not nearly a player worth what they gave up. Towns is obviously fairly one dimensional and just did and does not really fit the Knick team.

Very hard to say which team was better as last year team was bitten by key injuries in the playoffs and I believe regular season record was identical.
What I can say as a long time die hard fan is last years team was more fun for me to watch and chemistry sure seemed better. But water under the bridge at this point.

Agree completely

Rose is going to be like Sather was for the Rangers and Dolan. Untouchable until he wants to leave.
