Are you expecting Leon Rose and World Wide Wes to get fired after one season in New York?

Not entirely out of the question when it comes to the Knicks.

That's true, but considering Phil got more than one season, I think it's highly unlikely

For the right candidate like Morey, yes.
I mean, if you're only going to show up for part of the year, he certainly picks the right part... He's becoming the Reverse Paul George.
Considering some guys are basically just taking the entire regular season off at this point and still getting paid superstar money, getting insanely hot in the playoffs has some monetary value. Better that than getting insanely hot in the regular season and then choking in the playoffs! That won't make you a lot of friends.
EDIT: Looks like Slim beat me to it!
This may have been a pre-arranged deal. I already suspected he got quietly fired in Houston because his Hong Kong tweet potentially cost his owner a ton of money. Seeing him take basically the same job in a different organization immediately after "resigning" doesn't change my mind.

Could be although the quotes from Tilman indicated he was disappointed. Strange position for Brand to be in too. He gets an unofficial demotion. I still don’t understand what a gm does under the president of basketball operations. It seems like you do everything you did before minus decision making and getting credit

Brand is probably out at this point. This is the same mechanism the Sixers used when Hinkie was dumped. Colangelos brought in as Chairman of Bball Ops, then Hinkie was let go later. Sounds the owners were giving more input into FO decisions in recent years anyway, ala Vivek, so Brand was probably not even responsible for all their moves the past couple of years. I'm interested to see what Morey does there... and does it make it more or less likely for them to trade with the Kings and his protege McNair?
The Nets just hired D'Antoni to an assistant coach role under Steve Nash. I still question hiring a first time coach like Nash for a team looking to ride Durant and Irving to contender status, but he's putting together a hell of a staff on paper.

People complain about super teams but has there ever been this many contenders in an upcoming season? It's early yet but The lakers, clippers, Sixers, Nets and probably the Warriors are all loaded with hall of fame level players and have a chance. If Miami can make a big trade they could be thrown in this group too.

Hey Kyrie said he and Durant can coach that team. Everybody is a head coach there

Meanwhile, KAT is preparing his trade demands...

I think most of us thought EB was on his way out. Who knew Ownership and Morey thought he was part of the solution
