I think that is the first good move they have made in quite some time.

That is a great move. I don't think he got a fair shake when LeBron came into town. We'll see if they'll be patient since the team itself is so bad, nobody is going to look.
Baby Jesus!

Guess they won't be counting on Lebron signing with them next time he is a free agent, LOL.

I guess he's been hired as a consultant instead of a coach. Still, at least the Framingham native is closer to home.

On the C's broadcast yesterday, Perk brought it up, but Scal cut him off before he could elaborate.  Didn't sound like he was a fan.  Felt like he was laughing at the Knicks for hiring Blatt, but I could be misinterpreting it. 

Uploaded the clip so you can judge for yourself.

He played half a season + playoffs for Blatt and Cavs in '15.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

David Blatt was a bad coach.  He was rightfully fired in Cleveland.  He has no NBA experience other than that Cavs stint.  This is a total Knicks move.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip
