Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau

So what new voice, like what more is the time for the new voice? I just think, listen, Tibbs, there was flaws this year with his team. But ultimately, this franchise has not been very good for the larger part of 25 years. And I thought he deserved another year to try to rectify any type of qualms or issues that this team had this year.

So if we're going to assume that they have a greener grass candidate out there, it would be a bit of a surprise, right? Like Michael Malone's a great coach. Is he any different in his approach than Tibbs? No.

He's outspoken. I don't know if ownership will love how outspoken he is. Then you have what? James Borrego, another CAA guy. Offensive mind. His defenses have been not the greatest. Hasn't had much success as a head coach, obviously, in Charlotte. They didn't do him any favors. Sure. There's this, right?

Yeah, Coach Pop Pedigree. Yes, and then you have a guy like Taylor Jenkins, another guy that was probably a scapegoat in Memphis. We don't know if we know the whole story there, but kind of similar to Tibbs. Tibbs is firing. Apparently, people didn't think he did enough. And then after that, you're getting into first-year head coaches.

You're getting into Johnny Bryant, Sean Sweeney, somebody I really like. But you're going to say that a first-year coach potentially could take this team over the top. Like, maybe it could. Maybe that's a risk to take, right? Micah Norrie, he's another guy in Minnesota. Been with Cat. Great personality. Been up for many jobs. But again, would be a first-year head coach. So...

You kind of look around and you're like, of the proven coaches, unless we're forgetting somebody who's out there, Jay Wright, the Villanova Connection stuff, for sure. Jay Wright was a great college coach. Does that mean he'll be a great NBA coach?

I tend to agree. I tend to agree, and I'm not sure it works for the Knicks and their โ€“ They're wanting to keep things in-house. I don't know if that's conducive to that. Listen, I'll say this. I think over the last 10 months, more so than the previous four years, the suits in New York have taken major risks, trading for Mikael Bridges, trading for Carl Anthony Towns, firing Tibbs.
