I didn’t understand it at all when he was hired. I said right then I thought he’d just be a puppet to whatever Brett Brown and Co wanted to do. Brett was basically the assistant GM for all these moves so I have no idea whose idea was what at this point.

They always blame the coach first. GM is the last guy to go.

Reminds me of my mom and siblings when she used to force us to smile at family vacations after yelling at us.

I'm sure the Raps would offer him just about whatever he wants too (ownership stake,money etc) to keep him if he asked.
Dude is a winner, can't see the appeal the Knicks would have when it comes to anything basketball related.
We already saw how another career/serial winner in Phil ended up damaging his legacy trying to steer that ****show of a franchise
.They legit only have $ to offer,not much else in terms of professional fulfillment

Masai is like 15 months away from potentially being able to pair Giannis with Siakam and FVV. On top of that, his team is currently the 2 seed.
He's not going to the Knicks.

Okay if **** changes that works both ways.... so iggy has the right to sit out the season if they aren't willing to deal him to a team he asked for, and they alienate future agents and players from signing with them.

Brown was the one declaring Simmons to be a PG. everyone knew that wasn’t the case. Fultz was drafted because he was a PG that could move Simmons off ball (until he broke his shoulder). Jimmy was brought in to be that guy but Brown wanted Jimmy to be a spot up shooter hence the backlash from last season.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I see the appeal:I'm sure the Raps could offer him just about whatever he wants too (ownership %,money etc) if he asked.

Gotta love the Knicks timing of firing their GMs:
Fire Phil days after the draft and on the eve of free agency
Fire Mills days before the trade deadline

Masai makes business decisions.
He'll take the job. The reward is way too high not to.

I'm looking forward to the Pelicans Bucks game tonight but I'm also cringing because I'm already picturing Giannis carving the defense to pieces.
It will be interesting to see if Zion and Giannis collide at any point and whether a nuclear explosion ensues from said collision.
It will also be doubly interesting to see if Pels fixes the issue of Zion's lack of touches in the fourth. I know he's just a rookie but the vets got to understand he got to get the ball.

Good point about Brown, no one improved under him. In fact, everyone regressed (J Rich, Horford and Tobi)
Then you think of Grant and Holmes and how they are doing.
Brand is also another obvious problem. And the people who hired Brand are to blame, they wanted control, they have it.
Look at Toronto, Boston and Miami, they have an amazing development team, Brown being so raw was able to develop while not sacraficing Ws with the learning curve AND playing with two other stars who play the same position.
Siakim, FVV, OG etc...improvement throughout the board, the Raps won by drafting right and developing right (mixture of drafts and trades actually)
Miami, they took no name players and look at them now.
What do the Sixers got? We trade away our good draft picks (Cov, Shamet, Dario, Holmes, Grant) for star chasing and overpay to retain these stars that don't fit.
It's just bad overall. The process was meant to give GMs a clean slate and look how it turned out, peices that don't fit, no cash flexibility and no real assets to trade.

ever think perhaps the trade deadline decisions spurred the recent firing?

Well, players keep pushing the “write your own narrative” and don’t let teams tell you what you have to do propagandas

This is why Brown has to go. The star hunting stuff was all him. After Fultz failed as a starter last year, ownership wanted change and Brand was probably forced to make that deal hence the overpays.
Overachieving in 17-18 is what ****** us up. Had we finished 45-37 instead of 52-30 and got bounced in round 1, our window would’ve been perceived correctly as almost there instead of thinking it was ours for the taking

Russ literally looks like a 6’3 Giannis with this spacing and this isn’t even his peak athleticism anymore (still more athletic than majority of the league tho)
