Atkinson was my top choice, but Thibs is also good for building a culture and getting accountability. Probably our best head coach in a long time. Fish and Hornacek were kneecapped by Phil. Woodson was pretty solid except for his infuriating switch-everything defense, which we never had the personnel for. D'ant and Larry Brown are good coaches who just didn't work out in NYKland. It's kind of fitting that Thibs harks back to the JVG days.
Still it's going to take better and more cohesive talent for the Knix to get anywhere. Hopefully Thibs can a significant difference until we improve our roster.
I like MoHawk, but if we have money for just one of Taj/Hark, it's likely to be the ex-Bully.
A big question is if Randle stays. Thibs had Boozer for a number of seasons.
We need to get outside shooting from somewhere. And a starting PG.
Hopefully the draft gets us something tasty to build on.
I'll assume Portis is gone.
Be interesting to see how things go with Knox, Dot, and Jr. Smith.
Maybe Thibs can get Smith to focus. I always thought he could be a Dennis Shroeder type, with a dash of non-alcoholic Steve Francis. Would at least be good to raise the trade value of Knox and Jr. Smith, if possible.
