Stackhouse? Really? Why?

And no thanks to JVG. He's the Bill Cowher of the NBA.


Stackhouse is a legit up and coming coaching prospect. His G league teams have been the best defensive team both years he's been a coach, too. That's music to my ears.
Here's a good link about him with a really good mini documentary about him as well. - ( New Window )

Knicks need great players. Need more talent.

The rebuild didn't even start until the KP pick and then it had to wait another year because they no picks or space. The rebuild really truly began last year with the Frank draft.

I know it's hard to let go of the past but to me what happened 5 years ago doesn't apply anymore. Knicks seem to be taking the long game approach and have plenty of picks and some nice building blocks, notably KP, who will be back.

I don't see doom and gloom with this franchise going forward. They finally have resources to work with and a great young player. They don't even have to be perfect here the next 2 years in order to build a legit team with staying power. If they hit doubles in the draft and signed one good max over the next 2 years, they will be fine.

This is the biggest decision the KNicks will make over the next few years. Bring in the right coach.
when I say plenty of picks

Doesn't make that much for a college coach- 2.5mill year. Why not offer him a 5 year deal for 40-50 million? He also has NYC ties. I think he would a home run pick but I'm not sure the Knicks are attractive enough for him.

Of course, but the Rangers have been just fine with Dolan as the owner. And I know Dolan spends the money, that's an important attribute. He also seems to be staying away the last few years.

About basketball.

But it does seem -much more- a pure BPA proposition than football. Great player driven.

Much more. Well, you cannot predict the draft.

So, really, you cannot predict team style or system. Ergo you need a real savvy nuts and bolts practical veteran coach who can do it all rather than be wedded to any particular system. Probably an old cruster. Maybe not. For the next few years. Until you see what you have.

Not a single clue who that is though.

Dolans issue is he gets involved and pushes for quick fixes, otherwise he spends money when his teams asks, he spent millions on crappy teams that Isiah built, he is currently paying 2 head coaches for the knicks...

You can say he is to loyal to his guys..

But how have the rangers been good if dolan is such a shot owner?

For one thing, he has never been as involved with the Rangers as he was with the Knicks. For another, much as I dislike Glen Sather, he is nowhere near as incompetent as Isiah and Mills. For a third, the Rangers had a few major strokes of luck. They picked up Jagr as a salary dump at the end of the no-cap era and he gave them some terrific years. They hit the jackpot with a 6th round pick named Henrik Lundqvist. The lockout gave them a chance to restart without the burden of some horrific contracts in a way the Knicks never had.
Well, this is encouraging...

BINGO! Dolan actually thinks he knows something about basketball and he is interested in it. He doesn't care about hockey. Thankfully.

The lockout is all that saved Slats. That and MTL being dumb enough to trade for Scott Gomez. He was a total disaster to that point. Remember, he actually chose to trade for Lindros rather than pay up for Jagr in his prime. And OOF those awful contracts.

Ha! Well, I've given up on ever getting rid of Mills. Hopefully he trusts Perry enough to defer here and there. Sounds like they're into analytics, so maybe the numbers will spit out some good ideas.

All in all, I've been OK with the Mills/Perry pairing so far. My only gripe is with the Hernangomez trade - we should be hoarding young, cost-controlled guys with any potential, especially when the futures of Kanter, KOQ and Noah are very much in flux, and KP is out for half of next season. If nothing else, he was cheap labor. Still don't like the Timmy signing but that was before Perry could talk him out of it.
We could spend all day talking about Dolan  
arniefez : 4/12/2018 1:29 pm : link
He's why the Knicks are what they are. As far as the Rangers go they followed the exact same script as the Knicks until they got the break of a lifetime with the lockout/buyout reset and almost won a championship. But they fell short and then went right back to doing business like the Knicks, trading away all their draft picks and young players for washed up names that ruined what they built. You think that was a coincidence? Now MSG will be dark in the playoff spring for a long time for both teams.

don't forget the Baker contract. Almost a year later and I still can't wrap my head around it. It's obviously not a mega disaster like Noah's deal, but everything about it is nonsensical. There's not another team in the league that would have given him that deal with that structure.

Kanter opting out would make up for the misfortune of the Knicks tanking somewhat properly and still landing at 9th.
Please opt out, Enes.

All you did was provide reasons why Dolan didn't destroy the Rangers. Facts are, he didn't. We know why.

The Knicks need great players. I don't think Dolan is necessarily preventing the Knicks from getting great players, at least not now he isn't. Knicks need to stay the course and add talent whenever possible.

Well, there is that...now we have to hope and pray that Mills and Perry know wtf they are doing. Mainly, these guys have to hire the right HC for this franchise.

I don't think things are as dark as they were 7 years or 10 years or 15 years ago. There's a light at the end of the tunnel but this franchise can still fuck things up. Hopefully they don't.
the bar is pretty low around here  
Enzo : 4/12/2018 3:30 pm : link
Even if they stay in the lottery for a a few more years and become your typical losing team that hits on some picks, misses on others, and takes its lumps while guys like Frank and whoever develop - that would still be an improvement over the drama we've had here. As long as they stay away from dumb moves like Rose, Noah, no-trade clauses, etc.
Really let’s be honest  
djm : 4/12/2018 3:49 pm : link
It’s sinplistic and probably unfair but the Knicks will go as far as KP takes them. We aren’t drafting a legend over the next few years and likely won’t land a legend in FA or trade. KP could be a legendary player if things go our way.

Hit doubles in the draft and FA and pray KP is a future HOFer. That’s our hope.

Little known fact that Wright had a deal in place to go to Boston College 4 years ago. Terms settled and all that - Jay Wright’s wife thought it over and told him she wasn’t moving away from philly. She is from there and went to nova law school. Now nyc is closer and the knicks would offer more than bc (which i heads was about mil over what he was getting) so there is that. Just pointing out there are very strong family roots to that area.
