Would be great news imo if were real.
This would be interesting, I’ve always admired the grit and toughness Thibbs teams have (also the players have a little to do with that lol) and his defensive pedigree is solid. Would love this since he wouldn’t be in charge of the rotation.
Of course our coach played 5 guys 24 straight minutes so…
The only thing that made me dislike him is how he runs his players into the ground instead of developing a bench.
Yes BB!
Knicks owe him $30mill over the next 3 years. Jeanie gonna match that?
I was wondering, is that how it works???? I had thought the Knicks would just have to pay him the difference between next job and the $30 million….I guess I was naively wrong.
You’re probably correct.

I felt like that is the way it should be. You brought up a great point! @Humanomaly
