@ Thibs getting exposed.
I remember why I stay clear of this thread in the regular season.

Kobe wanted Shaw to coach cuz he was his friend and him coaching would mean the system wouldn't change a whole lot as far as offensive schemes. Most importantly, Shaw paid his dues as an assistant for like almost a decade after retiring with LAL.

Man, if Thibs got exposed in the playoffs, Woodson got exposed even more so.
 
So we gonna act like Thibs offensive plan isn't give it to Rose and let that boy cook.

Last year the Heat did one major adjustment and the Bulls collapsed and got dominated.

Bulls fan will even tell you they have a ugly half court offense.

I still think they should of beaten the struggling 76ers even with what they had.

Of course Woodson got exposed in the playoffs. But its not like he had his full system up in running.
 
His full system is iso-Melo. I've already seen his system. Lets not pretend like Melo wasn't already trying to do that earlier in the season. I'm not putting Thibs' system over his by much at all though.

I'd rather the triangle. Triangle got chips to it's name.
 
SVG is not a good enough coach. He's the coach you hire to get your team to another level and then fire for another coach to get to the championship level. We've seen him squander his chance in MIA and fail in ORL. Quite frankly I hate his offensive system, he says the right things but he strikes me as a coach that players will tune out after awhile even sooner if they see no success.

He just needs to start commentating with his brother.
 
Bulls have no one that could really score, though. And same could be said for SVG and the Magic. Both of those teams had 1 to 2 players capable of contributing consistently on offense. I'd pass on little Gundy, however. Like ATG said, players are somewhat quick to tune him out.
 
The only Gundy I'd take as the head coach for this team is Jeff and that's because he's a defense first head coach. Too bad he'll never come back because of his relationship with Dolan.

You guys are wasting energy talking about all these coaching options, because none of coaches mentioned will have a legitimate shot. It's either Phil or Woodson. It's too early to see if Phil would coach us or not, but the first thing we need to do is make the "call". What worries me most is why hasn't there been more stories about the FO making that "call" soon? Everything about Phil coming to coach the Knicks is hearsay. No one has come up and said, "Phil wants to coach the New York Knicks." All we hear is that, "he's got the itch." And that's coming from the person that gives him the buns at night. There's only substance to what Jeanie Buss says because she happens to be working in NY now

Until we hear that someone in the Knicks FO has made the "call" and Phil is interested then we're just getting out hopes up. For all I'm concerned, Woodson is our coach next season unless otherwise noticed.
 
Nets , Mavs , GSW, Rockets , Raps , and Blazers are all looking to give Lin offer sheets. Rumor has it that the Nets are gonna offer him 4 years 36 mill with of course the last two years being back loaded 13 mill each season . if I'm the Knicks no way in hell do I match that let him walk.

I thought the limit was $5 mil n we can match it?
 
Meh, if he signs with the Nets it could be annoying. Any other place I don't give a @+!# about or him if he goes there.
 
His 5 mill Max is only for the first two years that's why their offering him a back loaded contract (5,5,13,13) just to screw the Knicks cap flexibility in the future if we do match . its not BS from realgm it comes from a couple beat writers . Prokorov being a thorn to the Knicks organization is nothing new and its gonna continue

Jeremy Lin will become restricted free agent on July 1st, which means the Knicks can match any offer he receives, but nothing is ever that simple.

As we've discussed several times, the Gilbert Arenas clause prevents Lin from making over $5 million in the first year of his next contract and $5.225 million in the second year, which is why other teams won't be able to offer more than the mid-level exception.

Of course, there is a caveat to that rule, and even though the Knicks can match any offer, it makes Lin's return anything but definite.

For more, here's NJ.com's daily aggregation of team news from around the web:

• In addition to listing the Lin's former team, the Golden State Warriors, as well as the Toronto Raptors, Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers and the Brooklyn Nets as the point guard's top suitors this summer (according to sources), Alex Kennedy of HOOPSWORLD also dug into the loophole which could allow competing teams to offer more than the MLE to the breakout star: "A team with salary cap space could make things interesting by increasing Lin’s salary in years three and four of his contract and paying him the average salary of the four-year deal. However, if the Knicks match a back-loaded offer, they’ll have to pay the actual salary that he’s due for each season... That means if Brooklyn offers Lin $12,628,613 and $13,146,387 in the final two years of his deal, they’ll have to pay him $9,000,000 per season. However, if New York matches, they’ll owe Lin $5,000,000 next season, $5,225,000 in year two and then $12,628,613 in 2013-14, when they already owe Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler $60,632,000. Matching Lin isn’t the no-brainer decision that some have made it out to be when you consider how much it could cost New York in two years."
 
Quiet as kept though, I dont like the Nets because I sense Prokorov will attempt to 1-up the Knicks everytime.

That's sucker *#@$. Play your role old man, create a franchise without biting off the Knicks *#@$

Thanks for posting the article , Alex Kennedy is a VERY reliable source also . If we don't win the new bird rights provision through the union we need to offer Nash the full MLE .

I been knew they were going to be on that with almost any player we're going after in FA or through trades. We all have to get use to them doing this from now on for the most part until they continue to suck and Billy King inevitably gets fired.
