I wasn't sure if it was you or someone else that said if the Knicks have a plan before they fire Thibs, it could work out well, but if they don't have a plan and still went ahead to fire Thibs, they will end up looking very foolish. The fact that they've asked three different teams permission to poach their coach and got turned down three times in a row seems to show that the Knicks did not have a plan and are looking rather foolish now.

I still don't get why they fired a winning coach that brought results, brought them back to the ECF for the first time since 2000; that's 25 years ago. They been a shitty and losing team for a long time, Thibs brought winning back to the franchise, and they fire him after his most successful season. I just don't really understand that. But what do I know? I'm just a regular dude making a comment on the internet. There's no way I understand how NBA coach firing works.

I think KD would be a pretty good upgrade to KAT, provided that he stays healthy in the post season. KD is also the type of player that you can plug into any team and he just thrives / gives you the points. I can see KD replacing KAT could make the Knicks a potential contender and at least help them get into the finals. Especially the Celtics are probably going to break up the roster / go through major changes. With a healthy KD, I think only the Pacers and Cavs can be a threat to the Knicks, and the Knicks have a good chance of making ECF or even Finals next season.
