Get Quinn, worked under the Spo tree; Knicks need a coach who utilizes the WHOLE team (10-11man rotation). There is a reason the two teams in the current finals are coached with 10 man rotations!

Knicks have a real good starting 5, but at times they have no flow on offense, we need a real good offensive coach as HC or assistant to really unlock the offense.

Have to agree that the Knicks are much better prepared, just because the East is going to be much easier to handle. The Celtics are going to blow up next season due to their cap space and Tatum being out. Which means your biggest opponents would be Cavs, Pacers, Pistons, and possibly Magic if they can give Banchero help.
The west is so stack right now, Wendy’s said your could be a top tier team and be 42 and 40 in the west, that’s how stacked it is. Not only was this likely the strongest west conference we’ve ever seen, this wasn’t even including Mavs and Spurs, who should be back at full strength next season. Folks barely got time to see the magic Wemby and Fox was cooking up. The wolves better make sure they go to the lab this summer.

Time ESPN stops putting these bums on as analyst. Jay williams played one season for Bulls before screwing chicago by wrecking his motorcycle which he wasnt supposed to be riding. Nobody wants to listen to these bums whom are not championship or Hall of famers. NBC got Michael Jordan. ESPN sucks

The knicks are who we thought they were…average team. Fire the coach isn’t solving anything. A 5/11 guard with poor shot selection and a 6/10 forward who camps out on the three point line. Coach can’t call plays

Landry shamet can ball so can Payne add Mitchell and mcbride and it’s a decent second team that can keep you in games and hold leads. Brunson was gassed he couldn’t get to the rim he was so tired let’s not forget this man drove drose to the ground

Go get Jay Wright if interested. He ran a 4 out 1 in offense. Perfect for this roster. Those Nova teams played defense too
