How desperate do you have to be to take a Knicks job when the Bucks job is available as soon as the playoffs are over

Knicks job seems like a pretty sweet deal. Go see some basketball games, get fired, collect $25mil from Dolan without having to see or talk to him afterwards

Him not being with the team is weird.

This is also pretty out of the left field since he seemed like a basketball playing robit, maybe I took our sas persona of him too seriously and he actually wants to play in LA or whatever.

I think Morey had him in for an interview a couple years ago.

morey interviewed some truly horrible coaches in his quest to find someone that would let him pick all the assistants

that we ended up with d'antoni and a top 10 defense is not something i saw coming

regardless of who people prefer, having both of them is redundant

neither offer much analysis and they spend a lot of time unhumorously bickering

getting rid of one of them and bringing in someone who offered something fresh would do a lot for the show

they could use one real analysis guy who breaks down plays and stuff instead of shaq. chuck is getting old too but also can be off the cuff funny whereas shaq is just grating. there appears to be an injunction against hiring non-players to commentate on stuff but there are so many players who can do amazing analysis off the cuff in interviews and podcasts from memory, yet espn ends up hiring chumpoids like mark jackson, who seems to be a sentient soundboard with grudges

capela's already had two 20+ pt games in the playoffs. i think he's going to continue to put up big scoring games into the warriors series. kerr's not going to play javale mcgee against the rockets or something, they will go small and live with him scoring way more than his regular season would suggest.

im pretty far down on dudes who cant create their own shot. he just dunks the ball on shots other people create. granted hes ~elite~ at dunking the shots other people make for him but his parts way less valuable than his setup men. its not a big insult to him or anything, hes very very good at what he does, its just that thing is slightly less valuable when compared to the what the best players in the league can do

i get what youre saying but he's a good roll man and the warriors don't have anyone who can cover him and also handle switching onto the rockets perimeter guys. he will feast. i do think draymo green and durant are clearly a lot better than the rockets weird amorphous big man rotation in general.
