he was fired the other night. I sure hope Mills faces the media again when he does this - he’ll get slaughtered for his own failures, and rightfully so.
I'm not really sure what Perry does other than sit next to Mills, so I'll reserve judgement on him for now.
I see this as a common theme among Knicks fans. But has Perry made one good move since he got here? And his track record isn’t great before he got here.
but Mills has to go. Fiz has been underwhelming, but anyone that had any expectations for this team, even with these signings was sort of living in a dreamworld.
Is a complete joke. But I would keep him over Mills and Perry and it’s not close. Shows you how bad the front office is.
I still can’t get over that press conference. Only the Knicks...
Totally disagree on Perry. This organization took a big step forward once Perry got here. We got rid of Hardaway's contract and signed guys to 1 or 2 year deals to keep our cap flexibility. If he wasn't here I would really hate to think where we'd be right now.
Mills? The numbers speak for themselves.
Fiz? What does he do well? He can never put a group of guys together to gain any continuity. He has no offensive system. He benches guys for long stretches and then out of nowhere he'll start them. He talks about playing defense but never holds guys accountable. He is a joke of a coach. Just because Mills is worse doesn't mean Fiz isn't bad.

So his best move is using Porzingis to dump Hardaways contract and then overpay a bunch of bad players to short term deals?
Don’t you want more from the GM? What big step forward did they take?

A total housecleaning is in order.
Yes, Perry has done a great job outside of not being able to bring in top notch FA. He got rid of Hardaway's albatross of a contract while bringing back 2 firsts. We have our draft picks plus more moving forward. How many years have we not had picks in back to back years? That alone is a HUGE improvement. Imo, he has done enough especially with being surrounded by complete incompetence. The fact he hasn't hindered us between draft picks and financial flexibility is a gigantic plus.

What do you want him to do? This isn't a video game. If you cannot see how his moves have set us up for the future I don't know what to tell you. Not doing anything is completely different than doing something negative. Every year prior to him coming there were stupid things done. This isn't a terrible situation to come into right now with respect to picks and cap flexibility.
Has “done a great job outside of getting a top FA”? He’s the guy who loved saying how he knew Durant from his days in Seattle’s front office. How’d that work out?
And you don’t get credit for not making any bad moves or not trading 1st round picks. The Knicks stopped trading 1st round picks years ago because Dolan hired Mckinnsey as consultants and they suggested that.
The only good thing I could give him credit for is the Melo trade and Robinson pick.
What good FA signing has he made? What good trade has he made? How’s the Knox draft pick looking? You can cite “cap flexibility” but he also didn’t sign any good players and everyone was an overpay. And you’re really praising him for dumping Hardaway in the Porzingis trade?
is the biggest issue (obviously) and Mills is horrendous... but if you are grading body language... Perry gets an F. Good lord did he look nervous/fidgety and the opposite of what you want to see in the "brains" of an operation.

Yeah, I am. You are the one that said he is worse than Fiz. Not even close imo. Fiz is a detriment to these players. These young kids aren't learning shit from him.

You think he did a “great job” this offseason? In what sense?
He was dealt this roster by Steve Fucking Mills
And remember him and Perry traded KP
If those two were competent at their job they could’ve convinced KP to sign long term
Imagine a lineup
Mitch
KP
Knox
Barrett
Frank
And with plenty of cap space for 2020-21
Fizz could’ve made that lineup work and we would be looking at a bright future
Thus isn’t Fizz fault
So the morons who want him fired are probably the same idiots who thought Melo was going to bring us a championship

Why do you want me to repeat what I wrote. Go back and read. Yes, I realize why Fiz was brought in. Fiz was brought in because of his relationships with players around the NBA. They thought it would increase their chances of getting a top player. It didn't work. You cannot make players come. They put themselves in position to get multiple players. It didn't work. Did you see the mess left behind by Jackson and Mills? We are not in a better position now? Again, if you don't see that we are in a better situation than when he took over than I don't know what to tell you.

Fizdale was not brought in to bring in free agents. Coaches have very little to no impact on free agents. He had his choice of jobs- he chose the Knicks.
It is the GMs job to bring in good players. While they cannot force a player to come ( except a Restricted free agent which they couldn’t grasp) you can draft well, trade well and sign good free agents. He’s done none of the above. I don’t understand how he gets no blame for that? That is the essence of of the GM job.
And what mess did he clean up from Jackson and Mills? The Knicks have the worse situation in the NBA currently and are a complete laughingstock around the league.
But aside from all that I guess he’s “done a great job”.

We obviously have differing opinions. I have been watching this team for decades. Once Perry was brought in he has pointed us in the right direction. That doesn't mean we are there. And that doesn't mean we will get there. What it means is when he was brought in that things started moving in the right direction. If we landed a top FA or 2 would you be thinking differently? I suspect so. This job is not attractive because of Dolan and Mills. However, take them out of the equation. You don't think a GM would be interested in this job with financial flexibility and picks? I do. That is on Perry. Perry cannot change Dolan and Mills and they still have their hands on this team. Again, if Perry was not here I guarantee we still have Hardaway's albatross of a contract, handed out long term deals, and less draft picks. Imo, he is doing the best job that can be expected under this tutelage of assholes.
As far as Fiz goes, he is very much to blame for the development of these young kids. You cannot just mix up lineups constantly and have no system for these kids to run. It is pickup basketball. That is not coaching. He will leave and look like the scapegoat so people will feel bad for him but he just flat out sucks. Did Lance Thomas get major minutes last year? Way is Taj Gibson starting tonight? Oh, because he played for them in the past? Same shit happened with Portis. That isn't coaching. That is garbage.
needs to fucking go, so does Fizdale. The issue is who at this point in time are you going to find to replace them? Who wants to come to this fucking mess.
I just want to beat KP and the Mavericks again
I still can’t get over that press conference. Only the Knicks...
He wants to start DSJ and has done nothing to earn those minutes
Not me. As I said in the other thread, I want maximum humiliation for Dolan, Mills, and Perry.
I still can’t get over that press conference. Only the Knicks...
I hate fizdale and think he shoild be fired but i agree with this, have to fire mills, hire a new president and let him make the decision
I'm not really sure what Perry does other than sit next to Mills, so I'll reserve judgement on him for now.

Imo, he is doing the best job that can be expected under this tutelage of assholes.
As far as Fiz goes, he is very much to blame for the development of these young kids. You cannot just mix up lineups constantly and have no system for these kids to run. It is pickup basketball. That is not coaching. He will leave and look like the scapegoat so people will feel bad for him but he just flat out sucks. Did Lance Thomas get major minutes last year? Way is Taj Gibson starting tonight? Oh, because he played for them in the past? Same shit happened with Portis. That isn't coaching. That is garbage.
he has 4 guys on the floor who cant defend, mixx it up damn
they have a style and they play hard...
Belein is an awesome coach, i was at west virginia when he wss the coach with pittsnoglr and gansey, that team played so hard and was always moving
