Basically like Gallante was for the rangers the past 2 years as well. A coaching change did wonders for the rangers this year.

Hart has been in a great rhythm since he said he's not in rhythm

Grimes has assumed a role similar to the one Payton held in Thibodeau's system years ago. Despite Grimes primarily offering average defense, Thibodeau consistently puts him on the court like he's a star.
Unlike Payton, who displayed aggressiveness despite a flawed shot, Grimes' purpose on the team is unclear. There's hope that he can develop into a more significant contributor. While he emphasizes defense, he hasn't shown the ability to shut down premier shooters, at least as far as my observations go.

His defensive rating isn’t good either, which is why I don’t understand why he’s dubbed our best defender. He’s 13th on the team in def rtg, while providing nothing on offense.
Speaking of offense, RJ has be pretty bad since he came back. I think I’ve said it like every other day dude needs to find his rhythm again. Glad we’ve winning games though and Brunson continues to kill it. Randle playing well too. Hart and DVV REALLY make Grimes expendable.

Hart has been great these past 3 games
RJ and Grimes have been garbage
Grimes + some of the random picks we have for a wing at the deadline?

Even if he could bring a team to a chip, it's not this one. It's like when Pistons moved on from Rick Carlisle as winning coach because they saw their limit.

unless we actually obtain a tier 1 star, 2nd round is probably our ceiling with Thibs. he doesnt have the offensive mind to scheme/draw up plays when we need points in the playoffs.

Furthermore, all you hear from dude regarding offense is a constant preach about ball movement & taking good shots. They typically have good plays out of timeouts. They have personnel that like to cut now & Mitch is involved.
The offense caters to the team’s strengths. Dudes be too concerned over something that ain’t even real. Knicks finished top 5 in offense last szn and are among the league leaders again. Wtf else do you want? He supposed to suit up & knock down shots?
Fire Thibs is some basic level jackassery frfr. And the pitchfork bearers still not able to name a better solution. Even still, Knicks must stop what they’ve been doing despite the winning; tear the **** down & start from scratch.
So which one is then? Does the coach/team need a star or is he holding back this club? Them cries for some magical offensive scheme that’s infallible are foolish as all hell. If you’re looking for a spotless coach then you gonna be looking for a mighty long time.

I dare say thisYour posts have been very well written lately, like newspaper ready
has tightened up the grammar cuz there was some **** I seen that had me questioning if he took the short bus to school.Still, saying nothing but nonsense in longwinded form and fancier terminology doesn’t make his takes any more credible or interesting.
Bottom of the barrel all by his lonesome.

I'll approach these stats and our winning record cautiously. We're securing victories against expected opponents but facing challenges against top-tier teams. Despite attempts to downplay our limitations, the reality is clear. I won't undermine our chemistry, but let's acknowledge the situation for what it is.

The idea that you'll never reach my level must be causing sleepless nights!I dare say this

Definitely not thinking about how I can out-gump the gumpest gump in the land.

I don’t think we should make a move for Derozan. The good sneaky move we should really make is to trade Fournier + Grimes + 2024 DET 1st Rd Protected 1-18 & 1 2nd rd pick for Bojan Bogdanovic.
Derozan is more volume while Bojan is more efficient. Derozan does not spread the floor.
We own DET 2014 pick, but it’s protected 1-18, Detroit not gonna have a good record so that pick most likely won’t convey anyway, they can get their pick back along with a 2nd rd pick. They get their young player in Grimes and they get an expiring in Fournier, clearing the $20M due to Bojan, who’s not in DET’s timeline.
LINEUP
Mitch - Randle - RJ - Donte - Brunson
Bench
Hartenstein - Bojan - Hart - Quickley - McBride
Bojan would take some of OBi and Grimes minutes. Last yr:
You might Say Derozan averaged 2-3pts more, but he holds the ball much longer and does not shoot the 3, not like he makes that up with defense. Bojan average 2.5 3pts per game at 41% and fills the back up position we need. We re-sign both Bojan and Quickley

I like Bojan as well. Wouldn’t be mad a that kind of scenario playing out, I agree bojan is a more capable floor spacer and knock down three shooter, but I also like derozan’s play making ability and I think he has better defensive capabilities than Bojan.
DD more durable at this point as well.
but yea, id roll with either guy.
