1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: What is up Straight Fire, Fam, it's your boy, Jason 3 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: McIntyre here on Straight Fire for Wednesday, June the fourth, 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: But we have breaking news, so we're actually recording this Tuesday, 5 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: June third, because about two hours ago, in a shocking development, 6 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: no less than two hours ago, Tom Thibodeau, the New 7 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: York Knicks coach, fired by the Knicks with thy million 8 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: dollars remaining on his contract in absolute stunner. Now, the 9 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: problem being in sports media and having to have a 10 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: take all the time. A couple months ago, when the 11 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: Knicks were flailing and struggling and going winless against the 12 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: Calves and the Celtics in the regular season, I came 13 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: out here and I was like, Hey, Michael Malone, the 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: market Tibeau struggling. Let's go get Michael Malone. Then the 15 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: postseason happened and the Knicks beat the Pistons in kind 16 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: of dramatic fashion. Jalen Brunson was clutch. Then they dethrown 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: the defending champion Celtics. And by the way, I ran 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: into Paul Pierce at Fox and I said, oh man, 19 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,279 Speaker 2: what a shocker. The next Fire Thibadeau after their greatest 20 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: season in twenty five years and Paul Pierce, Now it 21 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: should be noted he's a big Celtics guy. He's like, 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: what do you mean, greatest season in twenty five years. 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: I was like, they haven't made the conference finals this 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: century and he's like, no, it wasn't that great of 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: a season. 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 3: They only won fifty games. 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, what season was better? And then 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: mister Celtic got into The Knicks got lucky, the Celtics. 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: We were injured. 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: As soon as I hear that, I'm like, Paul, I'm out, bro. 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Jason Tata went down in Game four when the Knicks 32 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: were leading in the fourth quarter. Okay, let's not act 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: like that cost him the series. Obviously, him getting hurt, 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: it ended any chance of Boston getting back in it. 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: But this narrative that the Knicks only won because the 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: Celtics were hurt, that's balder dash. Come on, get out 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: of here with that crap. And then the Knicks, yes 38 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: favored against the Pacers, had a bit of a disappointment 39 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: and losing six. But I thought I saw moves from 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Thibodeau that my reaction when we came out with the 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: Knicks post mortem earlier this week was, Hey, you know, 42 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 2: I thought Thibodau did a good job, took down the Celtics, 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: good adjustments in the Pacers series. They just weren't good enough. 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: You know, the roster's not quite there. We're close. I 45 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: don't think we need any dramatic changes. And you know 46 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: that seemed to be the sentiment echoed by a lot 47 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: of Knicks reporters, right, TIB's probably safe, Kat probably not 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: getting traded. And then here we are, boom, a huge, 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: huge blockbuster move with the Knicks firing Tom Thibodeau. And 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: I mean, there's no other way to look at it, guys. 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: James Dolan has been largely away from the Knicks, the owner, 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: the medaling owner. He had the Sphere as a big 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: side project in Vegas that became a huge deal. Dolan 54 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: was not really involved. It's difficult for me to envision. 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: Dolan was not behind this. And Leon Rose sat on 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: the grenade for him and said, hey, you know, this 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: is a joint effort of the front office and ownership. 58 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: Like the Knicks are close going into next season, notatum. 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: I think the favorites in the East undeniably are Nicks, Pacers, Calves. 60 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: Maybe in that. 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: Order we'll see. 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't know that I can 63 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: get behind firing Tims. The problem, Rob is the names 64 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: on the market pretty spicy. We can start with Michael Malone, 65 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: who I pushed to be the coach, you know, as 66 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: a Knicks were struggling there in the regular season. You've 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: got Frank Vogel out here in Los Angeles who has 68 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: won a championship. And by the way, he's playing golf 69 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: with my buddy here. So I was like, listen, you 70 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: gotta he's playing golf with my buddy here. I think 71 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: in the next week or two, Hey, you gotta ask 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: about the next job. I don't know that Voga would get, 73 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: but he won a championship. You've got Budenholzer, who was 74 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: run off one and done in Phoenix. And I think 75 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: the most interesting name, Rob is if you think back 76 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: to how the Lakers when they fired Darvin Ham, Lebron 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: was doing a podcast with JJ Reddick. Reddick came off 78 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: very smart, Reddick got the job. So who did Lebron 79 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: move on to do the podcast with Steve Nash, who 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: is a former NBA coach. Didn't show well in Brooklyn, 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: but he kind of got screwed by Kyrie Irving, who 82 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: did not want him there from the jump. Remember we 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: don't even need a head coach. And oh, by the way, 84 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: Steve Nash still living with his family in Brooklyn, so 85 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: it's not like there's a big move to be made there. 86 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: Now. 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: I do wonder rob thirty million dollars out to Thibodeau. 88 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: I don't I think they're gonna break the bank for 89 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: somebody when you owe that kind of money. Is this 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 2: a world where hey, Nash could be on the cheap 91 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: or is there a Dan Hurley option? Dan Hurley coming 92 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: off of you can't remember the Lakers made a move 93 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: on him lat summer. It didn't work out. Hurley seems 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: like a Northeast guy. It's very gruff, but popular in 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: that area. The Knicks got options and Dolan, Oh boy, 96 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: this is gonna get spicy. 97 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, they got options because the're the Knicks. 98 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 4: Knicks are always gonna have options, right. I mean at 99 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 4: the time when they got Tom Thibodeau, he was considered 100 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: one of the premier coaches available on the market. You 101 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 4: know that he wasn't the guy to blame for what 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: went wrong in Minnesota. It was, you know, the Jimmy 103 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: Butler situation. It was Andrew Wiggins not being as as 104 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: strong as they aim to be. It Waskar Anthony Towns, 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 4: you know too willingly becoming the second banana instead of 106 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 4: being the lead dog that they needed. So of course 107 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: they're gonna have options. The problem is, you know, we'll 108 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: work backwards. Dan Hurley, I think if he wasn't gona 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 4: take the Lakers jog when he had no interest in 110 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: going to the NBA, that's just what I think, point 111 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: blank period. I believe that he used the Lakers as 112 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: leverage to get the kind of contract he wanted there 113 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: in Yukon, and so I think that's a non starter. 114 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: Steve Nash is interesting. 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 4: Because, you know, even though it ended pretty spectacularly there 116 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 4: in Brooklyn for him and the way things went with 117 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: Kyrie and KD, the consensus seemed to be at the 118 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 4: time that it wasn't necessarily Steve Nash's fault because you 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: were called. Kyrie was going on Instagram live saying, we 120 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: don't even need a coach, like, you know, I could 121 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: be the coach, KD could be the coach. Jacques von 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: could be the coach and we'd be just fine because 123 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: we have so much talent between myself and and KD. 124 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: So when Nash was there, he was. 125 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 4: You know, we never even got to see whether I 126 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: could be a good coach period because things went sideway 127 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 4: so quickly, and he was deemed as the guy like 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: it wasn't his fault. 129 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: They all went sideway. 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 4: So that's interesting when as far as Mike Malone goes. 131 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: Of course, he's the most accomplished guy on the list. 132 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: Of course, he's the guy with the closest ties of 133 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 4: the knicks. The The only issue that you've run into 134 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: with him and I think that if you were to 135 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: hire anyone, he would be the most logical choice. The 136 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: issue you run into it with him is that how 137 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: many Nuggets players came out and defended Mike Malone after 138 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: he got fired with like a week ago in the season. 139 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: I don't wear at zero. 140 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, nobody came out to damn man. Malone got 141 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: the you got he got job, bro, like it wasn't 142 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: his fault. You know, we have a thin roster. He 143 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 4: didn't want to play the young guys. Oh and by 144 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: the way, think of that. One of the issues that 145 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 4: you people have with Tom Thibeau. He didn't play the 146 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: young guys enough. Wasn't that the same issue that Mike 147 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: Malone had in Denver? He wasn't playing the young guys enough. 148 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't see a clear, obvious upgrade over 149 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 4: Tom Thibodau in the situation, and that that primarily is 150 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: your problem. You're you're you're just shuffling the deck chairs, 151 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: you know, in hopes that you're gonna hit lightning in 152 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 4: a bottle when we don't know for sure anybody's going 153 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: to be a clear upgrade over tips. 154 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 155 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the nation yet catch all of our shows at Fox 156 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search 157 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: FSR to listen live. 158 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,119 Speaker 2: That makes it difficult, But you don't make this move 159 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: after what Brunson said. Remember in the after I don't 160 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 2: know if it was the exit interviewer right after Game six, 161 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: but Brunson was basically asked by somebody in the media, Hey, 162 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: you know, uh is Thibodeau the right guy? And he 163 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: was like, is that a serious question you're asking? 164 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: Right? 165 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: I Mean, Brunson looked stonefaced, like, that's my guy. I 166 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: don't think that the Knicks make this move unless they 167 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: had somebody in mind, right is that? Is that a 168 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: fair statement? Because absolutely, I don't know if Tibbs was beloved, 169 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: but I do know this, the team was beloved. I mean, 170 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: the garden was electric, you had celebrity row packed, they 171 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: were their TV ratings were massive. You know, Dolan was 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: basking in this. And I just I wonder if they 173 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 2: already have their guy and they said, hey, we'll just 174 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: eat the thirty million because we got this guy lined up. 175 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: I'm sure that's what it is. And I also think, 176 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 4: and this maybe leads to a different conversation. I also 177 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 4: think that Tibbs kind of scapegoatd here because as we 178 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: all know, you know, James don't interestingly enough, was on 179 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: the Jalen Bruns and Josh Hart podcast back in March 180 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: and he was talking about, you know, his past dealings 181 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 4: as the guy in charge, and he said, quote talking 182 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 4: about the way they run things in New York, there 183 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 4: were times when we sort of reach for that shiny, 184 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 4: sparkly object. Maybe this is what we need, especially when 185 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 4: things were going well, Let's bring in this guy. 186 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: Maybe it'll turn it around for us. Sometimes it's player. 187 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 4: Sometimes as a coach, what I learned over time is 188 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: that doesn't work, really doesn't. 189 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: You have to have fundamentals, the basics, so on and 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: so forth. 191 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 4: So this obviously flies in the face of that, which 192 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 4: leads me to believe that this move was made partly 193 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: because I'm sure they have someone lined up. I think 194 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: to your point, I think that's obvious. It leads me 195 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 4: to believe that Leon Rose is using Tibbs as a 196 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 4: scapegoat because, as we know, Leon roses Jalen Bruns's godfather's godfather. 197 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: He's Karl Anthony Towns's former agent. And while that sounds 198 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: good on paper, those two guys, the Brunson pick and 199 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 4: pop with Kat was deadly for the first three months. 200 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: We talked about it earlier this week. Towards the end 201 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: of the season, teams to figure them out. They had 202 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: a negative point differential for that you know, perfect starting 203 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: five that Knicks fans talk about between Brunson, Cat Bridges, 204 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: Og and Josh Hart. So maybe this is Leon Rose saying, 205 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: I know this works. I know that even though Jalen 206 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: doesn't really play defense and Cat doesn't play defense, and 207 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: we're playing Og forty million dollars to stand in the 208 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 4: corner and shoot threes, and we gave him a five 209 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 4: first round pick for mcal to be a three and 210 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: D guy rather than do anything on the ball. Maybe 211 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 4: we just need a new coach to bring it out 212 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 4: of him, because I know this works, and honestly, as 213 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: a Laker fan, feels very Frank Vogel to me, where 214 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: it's clear that the idea of the rosters sounds great 215 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: on paper, it looks phenomenal, but as we saw throughout 216 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: the season, once teams got tape on them, the fit 217 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 4: wasn't what you thought it would be. 218 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: The sum was not as good as it parts. 219 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't know. They did have a 220 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: good run in the postseason, you know, beating the Celtics 221 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 2: and Pistons, and it takes time to gel when you've 222 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: got two new starters in well actually just actually no 223 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: bridges and towns, two new starters, and you know, we 224 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: saw Indiana kind of run it back with everyone and 225 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: they didn't get out of the gate for a while strong, 226 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: and then I saw set like they haven't had back 227 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: to back losing games in six months, which is insanity. 228 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: But they had like. 229 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: A bit of a sputtering start to the season. But 230 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: hearing you mentioned Leon Rose, I wonder it seems unlikely. 231 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: But is there a world where Rick Brunson, Jalen Brunson's 232 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: dad is the head coach. 233 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 4: It's entirely possible if you if you believe Nix Twitter, 234 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: they said they saw more of him and his historics 235 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 4: on the sidelines than they did with Tibbs. Now, I 236 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: wasn't looking at the Nick sideline full disclosure to answer 237 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: that question, but there are a lot of people who 238 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 4: are Nick super fans, you know, hashtag nixtape that they're saying, yeah, 239 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 4: you know, Brunson's dad was all in the videos, all 240 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: on the album like should Night, like you know, like 241 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: he was the guy and because he rightfully so, gets 242 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: a lot of credit for bringing Jalen Brunson into their 243 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 4: franchise and changing things around. 244 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: So it would make sense that if you again. 245 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 4: It I'm assuming it's Michael Malone, but if it's not, 246 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: it would make sense that they already have a guy 247 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 4: on staff that they believe in. 248 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: See, the problem is Michael Malone is so similar to Tibbs, 249 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: that is that gonna work? 250 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: And then what if you go outside the box and 252 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: bring in a Dan Hurley, you know, and he's like, 253 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: I can't play two guys that don't don't play defense, Like, 254 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: instead of trying to figure that out, why don't I 255 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 2: just why don't I just get cat out of here? 256 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Like I don't know, it really opens up just a can. 257 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: Like all of a sudden, the McHale bridges move, you know, 258 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: he's doing an extension. I saw the numbers were like 259 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: four for one fifty six, and I'm like, holy shnikes. 260 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: So your fourth best player is gonna be making like 261 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: thirty five thirty seven million dollars a year, your fourth 262 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: best because he's not better than og, Like that's not sustainable. 263 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: We're seeing the Pacers and Thunder go to the finals 264 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: with nothing like that, their fourth best players making peanuts, 265 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: you know. And the Celtics fourth best player is like 266 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: Derek White and he's making like thirty mil and all 267 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: of a sudden, that team or maybe he's not making 268 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: thirty mil, like I should check that, but Drew Holliday, 269 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: Like all of a sudden, they're like, whoa, we can't 270 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: pay all these guys, you know, So if you I don't, 271 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: I don't know man, this this opens up, Like, I 272 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: don't know, rob is there a world where you can 273 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: trade McHale Bridges to a team where instead of him 274 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: being your fourth best player, he's your third best as 275 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: he was I think in Phoenix, right? 276 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: Or was it Ayton? I mean it's tit for tat, 277 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: you know whether or not Ayton. 278 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 2: Was about but on the rookie deal, I guess it 279 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 2: made it different. But like, if he's your third best, 280 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: is he like an Austin Reeves caliber guy? I don't. 281 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I don't think he creates like 282 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves. But it's like, okay, well, if we can 283 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: get Bridges out of here and get two or three guys, 284 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: you know, to create him and the aggregate at thirty 285 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: seven mil, would you much rather have that? And and 286 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: again you don't want to overreact, Robert watching the Pacers 287 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: in Thunder, Yeah, give me three guys total in thirty 288 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: seven mil. I mean, let me, let's just come up 289 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: with three Ruiy Hachimura, Gabe, Vincent, Austin Reeves. 290 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: I mean, that's probably more. That's probably more than thirty. 291 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: Seven mils, right, But I'd rather have those three than 292 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: mckael Bridges, wouldn't you, Yeah, of. 293 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: Course, I mean, I mean, look, we talked about this 294 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: few days ago. 295 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 296 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the nation.

I think OG's worth forty million relatives 301 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: of the market. I think Mcal is gonna be worth 302 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: whatever thirty five he's going to get in his next deal. 303 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: The problem is where they slotted him in and how 304 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 4: they use them is not how you should be using 305 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 4: a forty million dollar a year player. You can find 306 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: guys who can do reasonable facsimiles of that for. 307 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: Forty cents on the dollar, you know. 308 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 4: And as far as Mical goes, I don't see them 309 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 4: trading him because they just gave up five first rounds 310 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: for him. Like, I can't see them cutting costs that 311 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 4: quickly and saying, you know what, we all overpaid. He's 312 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: he's good, but he's not worth what we bad. We 313 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 4: got to slice him into three different guys, which I 314 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 4: think is smart. I just don't think that business wise 315 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 4: they do that I think if they were to trade anybody, 316 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: it would have to be og because he is he, 317 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: because he is the guy who is furthest away from 318 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: you know, that amount of movement, you know what I mean, Like, 319 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 4: I don't know I actually putting ties on Kat this quickly. 320 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 4: I don't see them, you know, moving off of macal 321 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 4: that quickly, given what they gave up to get him 322 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: and fundamentally changed the team that they was pretty good 323 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 4: last year. 324 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: Kat's just gonna be tough to move. I mean, he's 325 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: going to command like fifty six million dollars in a 326 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: couple of years. I know, I don't think he's a 327 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: fifty six million dollar even though he was the number 328 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: one overall pick. I did just I was texting, you know, 329 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: a bunch of friends about this Knicks move, and somebody said, 330 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: can we get Jay Wright? And I'm like, I don't know, man, 331 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: He's been away from college basketball for a while now, 332 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: He's had multiple opportunities to jump back in. You he 333 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: wants to go into New York City with the Knicks. 334 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 2: I know, they're the Villanova Nicks with Brunson and Bridges 335 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: and Heart. It just seems a little far fetched that 336 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: Jay Right now if they get him, that's a great, 337 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: get good coach. But he's never coached in the NBA, 338 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: and like he walked away from college a lot of 339 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: money seemed like a lifestyle play for him. I mean, 340 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: NBA seasons longer, way more travel I don't know. Jay 341 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: Wright to me, seems like a bit of a long shot. 342 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that. I mean that would 343 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 4: be awesome, you know. And I'm a fan of the 344 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 4: Nova Knicks that we've been on this train before. Like 345 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 4: there's a reason why I picked them to win the 346 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 4: championship before the season because I believed in their roster. 347 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 3: I believed in the camaraderie. 348 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 4: I believe in, you know, something beyond basketball, galvanizing a group, 349 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: and I thought that Brunson and Hart being able to 350 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 4: do that when they had the Vincenzo with mclibrey, Like, 351 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 4: I thought that was gonna do it, and ultimately they 352 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: fell short. But I still maintain though that if they 353 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 4: are not gonna change the roster, which I believe that 354 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 4: when you make a firing like this with Tibbs, that 355 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: you are conceding that it's not a roster issue, that 356 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 4: it's a coaching issue. 357 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 3: Whoever they bring it. 358 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: If it's Mike Malone, if it's Jay Wright, if it's 359 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 4: Dan Hurly, if it's Stephen whoever it is. Until they 360 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 4: determine Jalen, we need you to not be pounding the 361 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 4: rock into oblivion. We need to find ways to be 362 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: more creative, more diverse in our offensive attack, where sometimes 363 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 4: mccal is going to be operating as the guy league 364 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: in the show. 365 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's Cat, Sometimes it's O g. Hell. Sometimes it's 366 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 3: it's Deuce McBride. 367 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 4: Who's going to be running the show while you're standing 368 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 4: off at the three point line, you know, ready for 369 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 4: a catch ashoot situation. Until they do that, I think 370 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: there is always going to be a ceiling on her 371 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 4: because history tells us unless you are Lebron James or Jannis, 372 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 4: ball dominant players do not at the highest level, point 373 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 4: blank period, especially when you're small. Yeah. 374 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: Does a coach exist? 375 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: Do we? 376 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 2: I mean, do we know of a coach who can 377 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: get Brunson to hey man, we need ninety percent of 378 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: what you did last year. You know the other ten 379 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: percent We could play through Cat, We could go through 380 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: a bench mob if you will, but we just need 381 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 2: little less ball dominance. How's that gonna go over when 382 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: his dad's on the coaching staff. And let's be real, 383 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: they had their best season this in like twenty five years. 384 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 3: Rob Well. 385 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 4: I mean, the fact is that when you have those 386 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 4: kind of conversations, it's all relative. For the Knicks, this 387 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: was a fantastic season. Like, you know, the Knicks get 388 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 4: a lot of pub because they're the Knicks, but they 389 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: don't win, point blank period. The seven years before TIBs 390 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,959 Speaker 4: got there, they had like a three thirty winning percentage. 391 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 4: They had zero playoff appearances as a team before TIBs 392 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 4: got there. They had won one playoff series in twenty 393 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 4: two years before TIBs got there. So for them, a 394 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 4: run to the Eastern Conference Finals where they were clearly 395 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 4: outmatched against what some would call a less talented team, 396 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 4: that's a successful season. Yeah. So now you've got to 397 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: recalibrate your mind and say, I know this is good 398 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 4: for us, but it's not good enough you know for me, 399 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: And for me is the is Dolan and the front 400 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 4: office and winning a championship. 401 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: Okay, how's this And it's hypothetical, which is always a 402 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 2: fulls Errand if the Knicks had gotten by the Pacers, 403 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 2: and got to the finals, and let's say they got 404 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 2: swept by OKC or lost for one, is tiboeau fired? 405 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 4: Ooh, what's a tough question, because again, like I didn't 406 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 4: think the series lost to Indiana was bad. 407 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 2: Like, was it coaching that bleuw a fourteen point lead 408 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: in the final three minutes a game won? 409 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 4: I mean? 410 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: Or was it just unbelievable three point shooting from Aaron Eismith. Yes, 411 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: the Knicks obviously way did that one away, and I 412 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 2: think they would have won in Game seven at home. 413 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 2: But I mean you could see the incremental success. And 414 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: like you said, I think in like nineteen years before 415 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: Tibbs they had one playoff series win, they had three 416 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: this I'm sorry they had three in the last two years. 417 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: I mean they got second round, second round, and conference finals. 418 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: Isn't that progress? 419 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: Of course it is. But if that's all should be 420 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: enough to keep his job. 421 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: Right, if you're TIBs, you kind of got to be shocked. 422 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: Now again, you give me thirty million to walk away, 423 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: even after taxes and all that fun stuff, it's it's 424 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 2: still at least fifteen mil. I don't know, Rob, I mean, 425 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: Tibbs is not gonna want his coaching career to end 426 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: this way. I will say this, he never made He's 427 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: never made the NBA finals, has he? Because she is 428 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: an assistant as an assistant, so he it. Oh gosh, 429 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: he's sixty seven, damn So with the Derrick Rose Bulls 430 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 2: made the conference finals. With the Timberwolves, he had some 431 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: okay years. It's by guy's been consistently working in the 432 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: NBA assistant in Minnesota, Spurs, Sixers, Nicks Rocket. I see 433 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 2: no time off at all. This guy is a grinder. 434 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: It looks like he actually between the Bulls and Ti Wolves. 435 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: He might have taken a few months off. But man, 436 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if Knicks fans are kind of shocked. 437 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: I haven't detected glee, like, yes, he's gone, have you? 438 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: Not at all? 439 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 4: Not from Knicks fans, so not from Nicks media. It's 440 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 4: anyone who's cheering about it is national because they have 441 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 4: this perception that the Knicks should be better and that 442 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: they melted down things like that, which you can make 443 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 4: that argument, but you know, as my daughter's screaming in 444 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 4: the background, But but what you got to say is 445 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: that Knicks fans know that they're long suffering, that this 446 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 4: is a They have not been this good in a 447 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: long time. All right. 448 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: Well, the Knicks day to new head coach.
