Welcome to another edition of Miguel’s Friday Thoughts. Today we are going to focus our attention on the Knicks and their latest addition.
Jeff Hornacek is the newest head coach for the New York Knicks. This is not a news that brings a smile to my face. He had a decent record with the Phoenix Suns, but that’s not the biggest thing that we need right now. The Knicks need talent on their roster with fresher legs. I don’t know what Phil Jackson is thinking. The only great move he did was drafting Porzingis. What else has he done since? Absolutely nothing. You mean to tell that you didn’t even bothering looking into Tom Thibodeau or even Mark Jackson, whom by the way is a New York native? Both of these guys would’ve been a much better fit over Jeff Hornacek.
The Zen Master is way too caught up in the triangle offense. Yes, it helped him win 11 championships but the system is not going to work forever and for everyone. The system is outdated. Stop being so stubborn, Phil! I’m pretty sure Carmelo is losing patience and feels extremely disappointed that Phil can’t keep his promise. I’m a Knicks fan and I will always be a Knick fan, but Melo needs to stop dreaming and waive his no trade clause and go somewhere else to compete for a championship. I hate when he see very good players waste their prime years and not win anything. I hope I get to see guys like him, Chris Paul and many other players compete for a championship. These guys don’t want to look back and say “what if”.
It just gets more and more depressing as a Knick fan to see nothing BIG happen during the offseason. All I can hope for is for someday to see a winning atmosphere at the Garden like it once was back in the 1970s.
