The severance of Thibodeau is just the beginning! US media exclaims that the Knicks two core members may leave the team: Go and replace Durant?

On June 4, after waking up this morning, famous reporter Shams broke breaking news: the Knicks laid off Thibodeau. They just gave Thibodeau a three-year, 30 million contract last year, but after working for a year, they made 30 million. It seems that Thibodeau is not losing money, and the specific reason for the sack of Thibodeau has not been disclosed. However, all signs now show that it is not that the players and the team president do not support him, but that the team boss Dolan does not support him.

Thibodeau's laid off was expected to be expected in my opinion, but unexpectedly, they had just been eliminated recently. The team had not yet carefully evaluated it, and the first shot of change was fired. This was in line with Dolan's personality. His patience was always limited. I could give you a big contract, but as long as it didn't work, I would lay off employees immediately. I wonder if Monty will be ready to move when I see this. I made 78.5 million in the Pistons, but now it’s good to replicate it in the Knicks!

Tibodeau brought the Knicks from the Eastern Conference to the current Eastern Conference Finals step by step. He used his iron-blooded defense and core-based style to help the Knicks reach the playoffs and complete their transformation, allowing the mud to stand on the wall. In the past five years, he led the team to the finals four times. However, Thibodeau's problem is also very obvious. His offensive system is limited. Many times, the team's offense is only supported by Brunson, and he is not good at exploring the value of role players. He is better at relying on the core. In the Eastern Conference Finals, he was completely defeated by Carlisle.

If the Knicks want to embark on the road to championship, they must go through the choice to quit Thibodeau. Although he has paved the way for the Knicks' rise and it seems a bit cold-blooded to give up him, this is a critical step. However, judging from the news today, the changes the Knicks want to make are more than this. Their internal meeting may cause the Knicks to change a lot this offseason, and several of their core members may also leave.

The first is Bridges. According to US reporter Evan Sidery, unless Bridges is willing to cut salary and renew his contract, the Knicks may use him to trade star players. One of the plans being discussed within the league is to use Bridges and the necessary balance contract to exchange for Durant. Love says Bridges’ deal is inseparable from Durant? Bridges left the Suns because of Durant's deal. Do you have to go back now?

Bridges has the ability to sign a four-year, 156 million contract with the team this summer. He averaged 17.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 50% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%. He is one of the best 3D forwards in the active league. If you only look at the data, you may think that he is not worth this big contract, but fans familiar with Bridges know that his value is not fully reflected by the data.

Bridges can be competent for the third leader of any team. His top defense has been selected as the best defense, and he is healthy enough and has never missed the game in his career. This is still the case that Thibodeau has been relying on him. Bridges is still healthy. With such attendance and performance alone, he got a 5-year, 210 million contract like Anunobi, which is worth it, but Bridges is not able to sign such a large contract.

Commerging Bridges for Durant can indeed increase the Knicks' offensive firepower, but their target seems to be more than Durant. After the Knicks were eliminated, the US media reported that his teammates were dissatisfied with Towns, especially because he often missed people on the defensive end and did not defend as required, which led to the collapse of the team's defensive system. After Towns did these things, he did not explain the reason to his teammates. Now several core members of the team seem to be not satisfied with him.

Previously, the US media also predicted Towns' next home: the Sun ranked first, the Magic second, the Warriors third, the Jazz fourth, the Mavericks fifth, and the Raptors sixth. To be honest, I don't think it's possible for the Mavericks to win him, and the Magic are unlikely, but the other teams do have a chance. Although Towns exposed his limited defensive ability this season, he has indeed helped the team very much on the offensive end. Now he is simply the most dominant center in the East.

The US media also gave suggestions to trade Towns, Clake, 1 protected first-round pick and 2 first-round swaps to trade to get letters. To be honest, if only these chips are available, the Bucks probably won't agree. As the second largest football market in the league, the Knicks have always had a great ambitions, but it seems that the team has returned to the era when Dolan was in charge of the team. These two have just come to the team for a year and the team's record has improved significantly, but they are no longer patient now?

If you trade one of them, I think it's OK, but if both of them leave and the Knicks can't exchange the players they want, their strength will be damaged. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Knicks? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
