Event Around the 2025 NBA Playoff Madness!

Makes sense to me. A no brainer to fire him. No one should question it at all if they think about it.

I will wait until I know who they will replace him with. If they go after Jay Wright, that would be interesting.

So, Thibs is getting canned after the Knicks make it to the ECF? Thanks for nothing I guess.

They just gave him a 3 years guaranteed $10m a year to do nothing. That sounds like an incredible "thank you" gift.

They can thank me for a lot less than that..

I am pretty sure they already do. Same with me. A lot less.

True, but I'm not feeling an exceptional amount of gratitude towards them yet. They better up the ante.

The Knicks next coach should obviously be Jay Wright.

What about Jase Richardson?

What about Jase Richardson?

Too small for a head coach. Maybe Video Coordinator.

It'll cost them 30 million to fire Thibs, he's going to laugh all the way to the bank. The guy made the Knicks relevant again. Pretty cold firing.

How about a ball boy?

 

[Cugel]

They would never beaten OKC anyways. Dumb move. The best progress in over two decades and they fire him.

Let's send Bert Kolde to the Knicks.

 

[Hoopguru]

When Thibs was on the side lines you could read his lips, most the times it was WTF.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

every other GM knows that Knicks roster would never have made it that far without Thibs.

I don't know about that - the Knicks had a pretty loaded roster and will be paying $200+ million for it. Cavs/Bucks/Celtics all had major injuries.

 

[Hoopguru]

Indys guards owned the knicks guards.

 

[KingSpeed]

Alas, the salaries are THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS apart.

Try this instead:

Towns for KD is a terrible deal for NY.

Celtics were toast before Tatum got hurt.

NSFW but hilarious!

Today's San Francisco Chronicle reports fans of late Seattle Sonics are all rooting for Indiana.

Rooting, not rioting, stupid autocorrect.

Not a huge Cam Johnson fan, or I would want in on this.

NetsDaily: Hearing Nets may want to move up from #19 to the lottery, offering Cameron Johnson and #19 to Raptors or Rockets for either Raps 9th or Rockets 10th plus a bad contract. That would give Nets two picks in top 10 (presupposing neither team would need picks for Giannis trade.)

Feels like the Pistons owe more. Tobias to Cam feels like an upgrade due more than a 2nd.
Easy yes for me though.

 

[kjironman1]

Jeff Van Grundy… Hahaha.

 

[lawai'a]

yep, too cheap for detroit. thought about protected 1st that turns into a second if not conveyed after two years to brooklynn.

 

[THE HCP]

Looks like the all star game is going to be USA vs The World. Not sure there are 12-15 foreign players deserving of the all star status though.

So dumb. That means plenty of players will be out of all star nods because of the gimmick. For instance Trae Young. He is a 4 time all star and probably wouldn't make it again with this gimmick.
