this is the thing that befuddles me the most, how tf did thibs sign off on this

Thibs looks like he loves more stress

Yeah I thought there was still beef but guess not

This kinda feels like one of those “sounds good in a vacuum” trade.
Milliephoria
source? being a wolves fan for KAT’s entire career this has always felt pretty fabricated and revisionist post Jimmy. Thibs played KAT heavy minutes and was a key part of his offense
CummingInTheNile
lmao Dolan giving his coach say in a trade?
SternballAllDay
This was the worst trade we coulda done. Dont bother saving this to remind me in 9 months how the knicks are the best theyve ever been with kat. It aint happening.

Lollll now I’m imagining Thibs finding out from Shams like the rest of us
HolyRomanPrince
The softest star of the last decade in New York. Championship expectations. Hardass coach that didn’t like him. Hilarity will ensue

Totally forgot he coached KAT

Is Rosas still employed by the Knicks?

Didn’t KAT hate Thibs too?

If you had a choice between KAT or Randle, who will you choose?
I would choose the 7 footer.

I thought the same thing. KAT is the exact opposite of what Thibs looks for in a player.

How do we know that Thibs signed off on this? The FO and coaches aren’t always in agreement with every personnel move that’s made and evaluate talent differently.

A lot of things have changed with Thibs since coming to the Knicks. One of the main differences since Minny is that he’s not the one calling shots now. Iirc, he was the PBO for Minny making him charge of roster moves. He’s not anymore for the Knicks.
Another thing I noticed that is that he had a rep for not playing young players. However first year here, he had both rookies Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin in his rotation even in the playoffs.
People change.

Can’t wait to hear the owners didn’t advise Thibs either lol. Get ready to play 42 mins a night buddy.

Thibs has never not been a KAT fan, this is a misconception based more on Jimmy Butler than Thibs.
TrickleUp_
I highly doubt Thibs has a problem with KAT like people think he does
reKLINEr87
I’m sure he did not

Jimmy Butler come on down
purple-nonfictions
Do Knicks think they need Kat to beat Sixers/Embiid? Maybe that’s one X factor

Brunson is gonna be huge for Towns. The overall culture at the Knicks might be the best in the league. They got an incredible mix of vibes and hunger to win. Even Towns might be cured a little bit of his bitchways but obviously he’s still gonna be the weak link.
imperialmoose
Thibs is a pretty different coach compared to back then. He’s a lot more willing to adapt to his personelle. Sure, he still has a type and a way to play, but he’s no where near as rigid with it.

Consider this question asked in July:
>Why haven’t they found a stretch 5 to maximize floor *spacing*, give *Brunson more* room to operate and hit *more* targets when he’s doubled?
Not that surprising.

Honestly I’m not sure why the Twolves signed off on this trade either. Feels like they downgraded their roster. They don’t beat Denver last year if you swapped Randle for KAT.

Thibs hand shaking…
“THIS AINT GONNA WORK TEAGUE. NAH-UH.”

Thibs also hated Randle, so is it that surprising?
