Dolan will panic because of failing to meet expectations (which would be getting swept by Boston) and intervene. Rather than addressing the actual issues (depth, coach, time), he’ll force some awful trade to win “now”, gutting the core. Or maybe they’ll draft Bron Jr. and then sign LeBron (Dolan LOVES big names on the decline), which will be a complete train wreck in the locker room.
They won’t make the playoffs again for another decade. If you’re lucky they’ll get swept in the first round next year.
Pathetic franchise and the GOAT owner Dolan will not disappoint.
Dolan is an idiot but he's not gonna fire Leon Rose and bring back Isiah.
The depth isn't that bad. The depth would be more than fine if they had OG, Randle, Mitch and Bogey. Thibs doesn't want to play 11 guys anyway, especially in the playoffs.
The coach is fine. The Knicks got a 2 seed out of a play-in contender roster. Thibs has done an amazing job and gotten more out of this group than any other coach should.
I agree signing an old big name would be terrible, like it is when most teams sign them and I'm amazed NBA GMs still give up assets, never mind gutting their future, to pay over the hill stars ridiculous money. But I don't think Leon will do that. The ideal scenario is to move Randle but I doubt anyone in the league wants him. Regardless Thibs has been fine, the depth has been fine and if OG doesn't get hurt the Knicks win this series easy
