What’s next new York Knicks after The franchise fired head coach Tom Thibodo On Tuesday?

Thibodo directed Nicks in its first Eastern Conference final since 2000. New York defeated Detroit piston In the first round and the defending champion separated Boston Celtics In the second round before falling in six sports Indiana PacersAccording to ESPN Research, Thibodo completed its term in New York with a 24 playoff win, 17 more than the team’s last 13 coaches.

Now why Fire Thibodo, and where can the front office change in its search? Which high-profile coaches can be available? And now what other tricks can be that one of the most successful runs in the history of the franchise has ended without the title, Nax championship has been extended to 52 sessions?

Our NBA interiors investigate every angle of Thibodo’s firing, with what could be ahead for the 67 -year -old coach.

Now why did Nax set Tom Thibodo on fire?

The principle of the razor of the ocam states that when an attempt is made to solve a problem, the simplest solution is likely to be correct.

In this case, Tibodo’s time in New York ended as the first line of the statement released in response to his firing: “Our organization is uniquely focused on winning a championship for our fans.”

Sources around the league said why a change was made. Nicks decided that the franchise required a new voice to raise to the next level, despite that Thibodo led Nix for its best stretch in this century, winning a playoff chain in three consecutive sessions and moving in the conference final for the first time in a quarterly century.

After making a pair, tricks run for the land Mickle bridges And Carl-Athony Town In the last summer, New York often felt that it was less than the sum of its parts. The initial lineup of bridges, towns, Jalan Brunson, Josh heart And Og Annobi The playoffs were out of 31 points in more than 300 minutes, and were out of January 1 by the end of the regular season.

Defense was an issue many times – especially against pacers in the final of the conference – although it should not come as a huge surprise with Brunson and towns, who are working as the team’s point guards and centers (and not that Tibodo is not considered one of the best protective coaches of their generations). New York can also shoot more 3-pointers and adopt aggressively fast.

Many teams have made the same option which New York has. Mark Jackson’s place in Steve Kerr’s matters Golden State Warriors In 2014, or replaced by Dwayne Casey with Nick Nurse Toronto rapter In 2018 – resulting in a championship. Others, such as when Adrian Griffin replaced Mike Budenholzer with Milwouki boxOr when Fred Houbberg replaced himself to Thibodo Chicago BullsThings went inside A very different direction,

Who should consider for the blank space?

The most clear candidate is Michael Malon, who led Denver Nagets April 2022-23 title before a surprising firing with three matches in the regular session in April. In the last eight sessions, Malon’s Nagets led all Western conference teams with 401 wins-28 more than the second place. La clippers – Which emphasizes their stability as a coach. Malon will not be able to trust Nicola jokik In New York, but their success is working with aggressive stars, who have defensive question marks, they will make them a solid fit for nix rosters.

However, it should be said that the demanding Malon has a similar personality as Thibodo, which may be a point against them if the nix management wants to go in a new direction. If there is no Malon, both Mike Budenholzer and Frank Vogel have also won the title in this decade, and inability to eradicate messy Phoenix Sun Should not be held against them.

Ultimately, Nix may be able to cast Nix as a net, as they want, as the glamor and reputation of the job can draw about any candidate. Leon is interested in interviews daily. Did J Right – Joe won the NCAA title with Mikal Bridges in Josh Heart, Jalen Brunson and Willanova – was excluded from retirement for his first NBA job? What about the two -time national champion Dan Hurley, who had tampered with Laks Gig in the last summer before signing a new contract in Connecticut?

All options available The most attractive NBAs are on the table for coaching jobs: competing at a weak conference in the country’s largest market, a governance conference finalist with Bona Fid Stars.

What will be the need to focus on the next coach of Nicks?

Perhaps it is clear that this is clear after looking at the final of the conference, but finding a way to get out of a group that plays Bronsson near the point of attack and is close to the towns close to the rim.

Neither the player is well equipped to handle the related tasks: Brunson is underscribed at the end, while the town is not the most “toe fleet” and often foolishly dishonor that leaves him to go to the bench on unnatural times.

In particular, Nix was converted into a defensive Pretzel in the pacer series as to how Indiana was forcing her defense to live in rotation. “You can stop an action, but then this is the next action, and the next action,” Josh Hart said about the pacemen game plan.

There was a scuffle to stay connected with New York. In many cases, the loss of game 2 especially-was lost in an attempt to live with a sharp, space-out attack of Indiana. If this rotation is fully returned in the next season, the next coach will need to consider a change in the initial lineup. somehow Michel Robinson Will give the towns a back-end defender on the lines of more Rudy GobertOr perhaps there is another rangy wing defender what to do to cover the bridge and ennobe for the deficiencies of the towns and Brunson.

In any way, what is necessary on the crime to have a heavy lift on the defense figures.

Are there more dominos to fall in New York?

There is an old mantra in sports that you cannot fire players, so you fire the coach. Nix’s decision is the latest example to set the thibodo on fire.

A change in the coach does not absorb New York for the flaws of its roster, which was clear despite the 51-win season and Indiana suffered a loss in the final of the conference. Basketball operation president Leon Rose and his front office have worked to work in the construction of a bench that was barely used by Thibodo.

The Nicks Reserve scored the lowest minute and points among all teams this season, while the team’s starters scored the second highest points of any game for any team since 1986-87.

Why Stephen A. Tom is upset with Nix’s decision to fire Thibodo

Stephen A. Smith gave the sound of disappointment in the niches to fire Tom Thibodo.

Playing competent role, this player can prove to be difficult for New York for this offsen. While the top two reserves of the team, Miles mcbrid And Michelle Robinson, under the contract in the next season, has only experienced minimum exception in New York and is part of the $ 5.7 million tax Middlewell exception available for use in free agency. They will need to explain the veterans installed to sacrifice money elsewhere for a chance to compete for a championship.

The trades left the knees in draft assets to bring to bridges and towns in the last summer and made the top-thunder, more seismic change difficult in the salary. In the next seven years, New York has only one tradable first -round pick, 2026 is preserved before the top -8 Washington. He has five players in the next season that will earn more than $ 20 million: Town, OG Anunobi, Jalan Brunson, Bridge and Josh Heart.

What is the legacy of Thibs in New York and what could be next for that?

Thibodo spent his career building to the point where he got this work. A connecticut native who enlarges a fan of a nix, Thibodo understood everything that came up with a job – it brings a thorough investigation, as well as with the infamous that is accompanied by both success and failure.

And despite the immediate sting of losing the job, Tibodo’s term will be seen with a hobby with rapid time. The Nex won just one playoff series before this century, before Thibodo reached at least one in each of the last three years.

Perk: Thibs were not worth losing their jobs!

Condric Perkins seem to be on the methods of nix farewell with Tom Thibodo after five sessions.

He created an identity and a work morality in the franchise echoing with the city and was a natural callback for the days of the 90s glory, giving his time with franchise as an assistant coach under Jeff Van Gundi.

The better question is what can happen next for him. Thibodo had already finished the season as the oldest coach of the NBA, and does not always get enough credit to move towards modern game as he plays his starters after heavy minutes.

But Thibodo has a very long and installed track record of turning teams and increasing the roof, and it is difficult to assume that their passion for coaching is slightly reduced. This is especially true because Running for the run for this charge was returned by Thibodo to the final of the conference after 2011, his first season with Bulls.
