Rambis at the helm though?
he's going to fuck up your team game in game out.
aint that right, Walter?

As long as he loses as many games as possible I'm ok with it. The knicks got their pick next year.
Yeah, would want no part of Rambis.
TBH, I'm not that sold on Vogel either. But i'd much prefer Vogel to Rambis.

By pkaz01 Go To PostDidn't Wiggins win it last year?Yeah, but like, what about all the sucky years before this? I mean, to even get to this point (29 wins and the fifth worst record), we had to trade the second best player in team history, throw away an entire season and then get lucky in the lottery. And then the guy who built it passed away right before he could see it all actualize.
fucking stacked ass team

By blackace Go To PostVogel a bit overrated to me
I think he is comparable to Thibs but has had shittier rosters to work with to get results. Their playoff records obviously don't tell the whole story but it should be enough to shut up the knick fans who are still but hurt Thibs went to the much better job in Minnesota. That's important, a lot of this coaching search hate is due to phil completely ignoring Thibs. The Rambis rumors added wood to the fire but him not interviewing Thibs started it.
Thibs: 23 W, 28 L, .451 winning percentage (1 ECF, 2 second round exits, 2 first round exits)
Vogel: 31 W, 30 L, .508 winning percentage (2 ECF, 1 second round exit, 2 first round exits)
He's not the best coach but I wouldn't expect him to be clearly out coached either, like how he out coached Woodson.
By The Frankman Go To PostThe amount of backtracking and "BUT WAIT KNICKS ARE STILL SHIT" on Isola's Twitter is amazing. Yes, we get it Frank. Phil is still accountable for alot of L's so far. Can you not shit on the one positive glimmer where he actually MIGHT NOT HIRE KURT FUCKING RAMBIS for one second?
I think Forever is more positive about the Knicks than Isola. Not sure why people even give him attention, if you need your daily dose of fuckdaknicks, slaent has you covered.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI think he is comparable to Thibs but has had shittier rosters to work with to get results.
I'm not sure he's a better coach than thibs... or spo. Like the years that he had success with indi there were only two teams out east, them and the heat. and they made getting to the conference finals seem a really laborious affair.
He hasn't really developed talent, he (more like bird i believe) tamed stephenson somewhat, but then you have the unraveling of Roy Hibbert.
I think he's been lucky to have had PG13 to make his record look good, and a really shitty East.
By blackace Go To PostMost your sucky years came from McHale killing your teamMcHale was awful and I obviously have no love for the guy as a GM, but he at least set the team up in 2009 with Kevin Love and a ton of draft picks. What David Kahn came in and did immediately after was way more destructive.
Basically, the problem is Glen Taylor not hiring a good GM until Flip.
Knicks fans are a bit too optimistic about Vogel because the other option is Rambis.
Vogel may be a fraud carried by Paul George, who knows. The only thing certain is that Rambis is awful and everyone besides Byron Scott is preferable to him.

Jackson did not attend the annual college scouting combine last week in Chicago, which is unheard of for a top executive. The Knicks don’t have a first or second-round pick in next month’s NBA draft, although it is likely they will buy a second-round pick.
Holy fuck at the hackery. Pure unadulterated hackery. "It's unheard of for a top executive not to be at the combine...also, the Knicks don't have any picks" lmao

Execs should be there to scout cause they could very well be dealing with these kids in the future. Trades, buying late picks to snag someone they're high on that everyone else let fall in the draft, target undrafted players with potential.
I'd be surprised if NY doesn't buy a pick this year.
By Kabro Go To Postand just think, 1 more season until phil comes back to la. >:(Hopefully he takes Rambis with him
By IWMTB19 Go To PostSkal back in the top 10 on DX.
He averaged 3 rebounds a game in college and is a PF/C.
Word is despite his obvious in-game deficiencies, he's a work-out gawd. Tall as fuck and has a nice jumper when no one is guarding him at all.
By Kabro Go To Postand just think, 1 more season until phil comes back to la. >:(
nah thanks, he's spinning his wheels in NY. This is like when Rambis went to Minnesota to be a headcoach or when Shaw left, thank god we weren't the ones to figure out that he's not cut out for the job. Maybe he'll right the ship the next couple years but he has been pretty far from impressive thus far.

They will likely buy a pick, but the whole scouting staff and the GM of their development team was there. That's all you need to send if they goal is to buy a 2nd rounder to basically send to the D league team.
Phil not going to the combine because the previous FO gave away all their fucking picks is not something to be complaining about Phil about.
It should be a "oh yea, Phil doesn't hand out picks like they're amateur rock band flyers outside of a college campus. Awesome"
Instead it's "so 95% of the utility of this activity is now gone because of the incompetence of others, but why didn't Phil do the activity anyway".
Hackery.

You can't buy a pick in consecutive years but I don't think Knicks bought one last year... they're working out guys who are projected end of 2nd round/undrafted, so they're doing their due diligence. I would like to see them look at taller, more athletic swingmen because that's a glaring weakness of the team, however alot of the hole filing will depend on what Afflalo and Williams do. I don't mind if Afflalo stays for a bench role, but DWill can kick rocks.
I'd say y'all should try to throw money at some pgs coming up for FA but like without being set on a real fuckin' coach who is gonna chomp at the bit.

I didn't know there was a limit to buying picks? you sure your not mistaken it with selling picks?
Also D will is likely opting out, AA likely leaves too. Too much money out there for them to stay. I honestly would be surprised if anyone with a player option who isn't done doesn't opt out.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI didn't know there was a limit to buying picks? you sure your not mistaken it with selling picks?Yeah... I thought you could buy as many picks are people are willing to sell.

By giririsss Go To PostYeah… I thought you could buy as many picks are people are willing to sell.
there is a limit of cash you can get and spend per year... it's a little under 4 mill right now.
But as far as I know you can use that limit every season to buy

As long as the logos fit the jersey's aesthetics like the above I'm fine with it.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers teams like the Lakers will get.

I hate ads on jerseys, but really, those aren't terrible. It's not intrusive. It's not like the StubHub logo is front and center like soccer.

Nah it's shit. I get why they're doing it but I hate it.
Better get your Rookie Towns and Rubio jerseys before they're brought to you by Target
i mean i'd take football jersey ads over the insane amount of commercials nba games have these days.
shit like SPRITE DUNK CAM and commercials every 20 seconds is much worse than having a Walmart slogan on a jersey.
sadly, NBA will have both soon.

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostNah it's shit. I get why they're doing it but I hate it.Apparently jerseys sold to fans will default to not having ads, although teams will have the options to sell jerseys with ads in addition to non-ad jerseys.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postits like selling your soul for 100 bucks–that's the equivalent value of this dealWait til you see the $$$ teams like the Knicks and Lakers will get from it. Even teams like OKC should get a nice haul as long as they keep their star players.
wtf
AT&T will be paying to have their brand associated with Kevin Durant. Pretty valuable.
By Dipro Go To Postthe top 3 rookies are not playing for the US.I thought Kat was/is?
By P S Y C H Go To PostI thought Kat was/is?He was with the Dominican National Team when Cal recruited him for Kentucky. I don't know where Towns stands today, though.

On the latest Redick podcast, Ryan Anderson mentions that there was a last-minute call that may have seen him to the Cavs instead of Channing Frye.
By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostNah it's shit. I get why they're doing it but I hate it.Yeah, I've already figured the Wolves will have some lame Best Buy/Target ad on them. The only thing I wonder is the rate Taylor will get, since the team should be pretty good going forward. What value is there putting your ads on Towns/Wiggins?

What value is there putting your ads on Towns/Wiggins?Think about how much is at stake for OKC's ownership with KD's decision. Can't imagine we'd get very much for our jersey sponsorships at a baseline level.
But if you're on national TV 30 times a year and your logo will be in every close-up shot of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook? Surely we could get more than Philly got.
By P S Y C H Go To PostI thought Kat was/is?he hasn't so far but he probably will, he played for team us at the all-star game.
edit: apparently the nba assigns players according to birthplace and not their choice.
By P S Y C H Go To PostI thought Kat was/is?
I am pretty sure that if your eligible for 2 different countries teams that once you play for one national team in the Olympics that is your team going forward. So KAT is with the Dominican team from now on.
