Mike Brown or Bust? Knicks Zero In on Their Next Head Coach!



Mike Brown or Bust? Knicks Zero In on Their Next Head Coach!

Looking forward to see who the Knicks hire as their next head coach. It looks like Mike Brown is the clubhouse leader. You reported that Brown and Taylor Jenkins both getting second interviews. What are the chances here for Brown and Jenkins? Yeah, looks like right now, Moose, that Mike Brown is on the leaderboard, at the top of the leaderboard to become the next head coach of the New York Knicks. Uh it was reported today by Ian Begley of SNY that Mike Brown will be meeting with Knicks owner James Dolan, and for what I’m hearing, he is the favorite right now. The Knicks feel like Mike Brown based on his experience and his ability to get the most out of his players. They’re looking at their big investments in Jaylen Brunson, Mal Bridges, and Carl Anthony Towns and the need to get the most out of that talent. They believe that Mike Brown could be the guy for the job. And I think we could be headed to the finish line here. All right. And even though the Mavericks didn’t give permission to talk to Jason Kidd, why is his name still being thrown out there? Yeah, Figgy, I I think it we it’s safe to assume that Jason Kidd was up there on the Knicks list based on his relationship with Jaylen Brunson back at their time with Dallas and being a former point guard, formerly played for the New York Knicks. So, with Jason Kidd and his pending extension still there and still looming with the Dallas Mavericks, people are speculating that the Knicks may be holding out to see if Jason Kid and the Mavericks decide to part ways. But with Nico Harrison after the draft last week all but confirming that Jason Kidd was going to be returning to the Dallas Mavericks, I think the Knicks are are looking to pivot here and this is why Mike Brown could be the guy should Jason Kid should the door for Jason kid close.
All right, CP, they didn’t have a lot of money to spend. The two free agent signings the Knicks brought in. Uh, tell everyone about him. What do you think? Jordan Clarkson and Gershon Gabelli. For Jordan Clarkson, it’s the best bang for your buck. It was unknown what his status was going to be going into free agency. So when the Utah Jazz bought him out of his contract, it was reported that his agent Rich Paul reached out to the Knicks in terms of a potential deal for Jordan Clarkson. A 16 points per game scorer provides the Knicks with muchneeded shot creation. He did shoot about 36% from three last year with the Utah Jazz and so he provides much needed firepower off the bench at the guard spot. Gershon Yabasel came from the Philadelphia 76ers. A big man. He can play the power forward position. He can also play the center position. And he shot about 38% from three last year with Philadelphia. So, he’s going to provide offensive flexibility, whether it’s playing alongside Carl Anthony Towns or playing at the center spot. That will allow the Knicks to have true five out spacing with a guy that you cannot afford to to not guard because Kersson Yabiselli will make you pay. He’s a physical player at the four five and and again much needed depth for the the Knicks bench.
Yeah, CP Giannis to the Knicks has been a topic of conversation for a while now. And in today’s news the Bucks signing Miles Turner away from the Pacers and waving Damen Lillard to the uh to make money work. Giannis is reportedly not happy about them waving Dame. Could that be a push to get Giannis in New York? Is that a pipe dream? Yeah, it seems like we’re getting mixed signals in terms of what Giannis’s future is going to be with the Milwaukee Buck with the Milwaukee Bucks. I’ve always been told that if and when he does ask for a trade from the Bucks, the Knicks will be ready to pounce. However, guys, the Knicks, we just have to understand that they do not have uh the best combination of assets to offer the Milwaukee Bucks in a deal. You have to figure that most of the 29 30 teams in the NBA will have a better offer than the Knicks. what it will take to get Giannis here will will certainly be the Greek Freak forcing his way to New York. And I’m just not sure that the Milwaukee Bucks would relent on on that type of request. So, time will tell. Anything is possible in this NBA. You just never know from day to day, but something worth watching for sure.
CP, let’s go back to where we started. One last one for me and that is on the Knicks coach. If it ends up being Mike Brown, do you think it’s an upgrade over Tom Thibido at this stage? Moose, I would say no. But, you know, there’s so many inputs. There’s so many factors that play into the success of the head coach. Namely, who his star players are. How do they buy into the system? Is the system utilized to maximize and accentuate on their strengths and maximize their talents? Also, who’s the staff that the Knicks will potentially put around Mike Brown? I’m being told that they’re going to look to put some of the best coaches around him and that there’s also going to be an emphasis here on player development. The Knicks understand that in this new era of the CBA, they’re going to have a topheavy roster and how they bring in players under the vet minimums along with their rookies. Along with the rookies, it’s going to be very imperative for the next coach to be able to maximize that talent because this team is headed for the championship and they’re looking to bring a title home to New York for the first time in over 50 years.

FOR THE FANS, BY THE FANS!!!

  1. MIKE BROWN.. He been around the block a few more times. Has the expertise of dealing with stars and diva behavior. He knows how to connect with players and should be the preferred coach

  2. this would be the worst hire they can possibly do…fired at every stop and his success only tied to Lebron in Cleveland and LA….his Sacramento success now looks like a fluke. He is not only not the answer but a coach that will lead this team into a spiral. Mark my words. Hope im wrong.

  3. I'm so f'in tired of hearing people ask if any potential coach is better than Thibs. Coaching isn't black and white. If it's as simple as which coach is better, The Spurs wouldn't have declined after Khawi left.

  4. Giannis for Kat!! Wow, would probably never happen but that would be a rap, with the new pickups along with giannis I feel like we're a 50/50 to win the chip

  5. I'm still curious about Jenkins, but if it ends up being Brown I think you could do a lot worse. The Knicks offense was so stagnant at times during the playoffs. Give credit to the defenses, but it felt so slow and iso heavy. They clearly focused on getting offensive minded players in FA

  6. Mike Brown is a good offensive and defensive coach. He does have difficulty in managing egos but the Knicks roster are pretty levelheaded 😅

  7. Mike brown would be an offensive upgrade but would he take Knicks above and beyond? Time will tell. Gonna come down to the players and what they do. Game one of conference finals was lost due to a couple missed free throws ultimately not thibs neglecting bench play

  8. Coach Brown improved from his godawful coaching performance in Cleveland. In SAC he was given a very good roster which played well until the coaching deficiencies began to show. The 2024 Kings tanked under Brown, Fox became one of the laziest players in the NBA, the O under Brown constantly faded in 4th Q despite a rather superb roster, individual fundamentals on both ends were primarly awol, the O, whiile unique under Sabonis was not maximed, the roster besides Sabonis was totally mismanaged, there is a lack of either competitive intuition or imagination–see Udokwu, Reddick, Billups et. al. There was locker room tension, assistant coach tension and media tension. numerous red flags.

  9. I am so happy for CP the Fanchise. He has worked hard and never forgets his fan base. I love all content creators but the Knicks fan TV it's always going to be number one.

  10. Mike Brown is such a Knicks hire. I’m all in on Micah Nori. Someone young and with playoff experience? I’m with it. Look at all these younger coaches making a difference in the NBA now like Kidd, Udoka, Mazzulla, and Daigneault.

  11. I think after this coaching search, everyone at the start who was insisting Dolan and Rose had a master plan worthy of "trust the process" takes is looking pretty foolish.

  12. Dolan needs to go one way or another. Yet again, he messed up Knicks. A guy WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING right in his life, with everything handed to him by virtue of having a rich and successful daddy. Thibs created a team with identity and purpose. Now, it's all muddied. Brown is an OK coach but he is no defensive guru and we were built around defense and hard play that Thibs championed. You cannot underestimate just how much of a cancer Dolan really is.

  13. I'm definitely okay with Mike Brown being the Knicks head coach. Out of the three candidates interviewed, he has the most NBA experience in BIG GAMES as well as in the regular season. Also, his overall career is unquestionably superior to the others. However, Borrego is very intriguing. With that being said, given the team that the Knicks already have in place, I can envision them winning a championship under Coach Brown's leadership.

  14. Did he just say Mike Brown is not an upgrade from Tom thibodeau, Mike Brown got four championship rings as an assistant coach 💯

  15. Are we sure Mike Brown is better than Tom Thibodeau?
    Mike Brown might be better in certain offensive areas but I feel his style of coaching comes with a similar cap as Tom

    You don't fire the incumbent without securing someone with potential or whos Superior to the predecessor

  16. Mark Jackson should become the knicks Head Coach…Mike brown has never done what Jackson did with the Warriors…it will be a BUST knicks will not make the playoffs 😳

  17. I’d rather had cp take over than brown! Brown will not win a Championship here this is just a tragedy in the making! I’m sorry but I can read things like this! Brown is a pretender! The New York media will eat his alive! He will falter in the first month!

  18. Mike brown needs to win a championship….if not will he be fired too? We back to the mid 2000's? Lenny Wilkins. Larry Brown. Didn't Isaiah coach at one point

  19. The Knicks are always getting the better deal over the Mavs. They initially think they’re stealing from us. They no longer want to do business with us.

  20. Not excited about Mike brown. I did want a new coach. I wanted Mike Malone, but maybe he didn’t want job 🤷‍♂️

  21. I don’t know how I feel about the hire. I remember Kings fans being very upset with his lineup decisions. Hope it pans out tho
