New York Knicks Get GOOD & BAD News

[Music] we’re heading to game seven of the NBA Finals and Obie Topp It in the Indiana Pacers have a chance to win the NBA Finals quinton Grimes is also in line to get a major payday in NBA free agency and I believe the New York Knicks are getting kind of a dose of good and bad news then I think the way you’re seeing Obie Topphen playing is kind of a major reason why Tom Tibido was fired there’s been reports that have come out that there was a disconnect between the front office and Tom Tibido and the new the front office is looking for a head coach that is going to listen to them and they can be more in line in their beliefs i know this for a fact tom Tibido’s refusal to play young guys was big and why he was ultimately relieved of his duties um that’s about all I could say on that the front office did not like the way that Tom Tibido did not prioritize not only playing young guys but adjusting to young guys it was Tom Tibido’s way or the highway and the Knicks don’t want their next head coach to be like that and we’re all watching the finals and I tweeted it out on Thursday game six every OB topping bucket it stings a little bit and I was wrong about OB Toppin i thought he was not a winning player but he got to a team and a head coach that put him in a spot to maximize his potential and to make him a winning player rick Carile adjusted to get the most out of a player tom Tibido rarely ever did that and trading Obi for two second round picks right now that sure does look bad on this New York Knicks front office uh Leon tried his best that trade was a Tom Tibido trade leon Rose did his best to get Tom Tibido Tom Tibido players he made moves that would fit Tom Tibido players because Leon learned if I go out and get Evan Fornier Tibs is not going to play him because Forier is not a Tibs guy i can go out and get Kemell Walker who was washed absolutely rightfully so did not play but I’m just trying to let you know Leon learned working with Tom Tibido that I have to get players tips is going to play and in the OB situation it didn’t work out and I believed in Tibs’ evaluation of him but I was wrong and I’m never afraid to admit when I was wrong as was Tom Tibido on that bench players with 70 plus points 30 plus rebounds and 12 plus threes made in NBA Finals there’s two people to ever do it robert Ory and Obie Toppin and Obie Topphen is a major reason why this series is going seven and might be a major reason why they are going to win the NBA finals it’s averaging 13 and six on 48 and 40 from the field um Nicks don’t look too smart right now on that move and I’m someone that like loves Leon Rose how many times have we said it leon did it again leon did it again in this situation like he did with Evan Fornier and Chem Walker it didn’t work out but something that still stings is Tib’s never adjusted for Obie like and I think that is part of the reason like I I want to choose my words carefully here because Tom Tibido is a good coach but a skill set of a good coach not saying Tib is not a good coach don’t get your panties in a wad good coaches adjust to their players good coaches know how to put their players in position to be successful tom Tibido never did that for Obie Toppin and and is losing Obie the reason he didn’t win no I don’t want that to be the understanding of this video either but the Knicks never under Tom Tibido did anything to accommodate their young players it was you’re going to play Tibs’ way or or you’re not going to play for Tibs and that’s ultimately why there was a fight which has been well documented why there was a cursing out of Obie cussing out Tibs and why it’s been reported widely that Obi Toppin threw a punch at a Knicks coach i don’t know was Obie great as a Knick no but he absolutely had his moments 30 point games i think he may even had a 40-point game scoring 15 points in 10 minutes it was clear and obvious to see what Obie was good at running the floor winning with athleticism growing as a three-point shooter being a microwave scorer off the bench that was evident when he was here and he went to a team um that is maximizing his skill set now and he’s one win away from forever being an NBA champion we also know that the Quinton Grimes deal was a doom and if you’ve watched this channel since the start of this channel you know that I was one of the biggest Quinton Grimes fans that there was and so was this front office the Knicks did not trade for Donovan Mitchell you know why because they would not include Quinton Grimes and what did they do 18 months later they traded him to the Detroit Pistons for Buon Bogdanovich and Alec Burks uh two guys that were on this team for four months and there was clearly some headbutting at the end of the tenure between Grimes and Tibido grimes was no longer in the rotation grimes somehow went from playing 48 minutes in game five against the Miami Heat in the playoffs to not playing for the New York Knicks and I say all this to say why that is bad news like it’s bad news it’s bad that you made this trade it’s bad that you let Obie Toppin go think about think like this you traded Quinton Grimes and Obie Topphen you traded Grimes Toppin and two second round picks for two second round picks like you didn’t get you got nothing to show for these guys but it’s good news in the sense of Taylor Jenkins sounds like he is now the favorite to be the head coach of the New York Knicks and Taylor Jenkins is known as someone that’s not afraid to go 10 deep taylor Jenkins is known as someone that develops young guys that takes pride in developing young guys look at all the young players that are on the Grizzlies roster that are now playing well and that’s great news for Tyler Kick that’s great news for Pomeier and Kevin McCuller Jr and Ariel Huckporty so why it was unfortunate to see the Knicks getting nothing from Obi and not maximizing him and not getting anything for Quinton Grimes and not maximizing him now you’re potentially going to bring in a coach and Jenkins or whoever that next head coach is going to place an importance on development and getting young players involved and putting them in spots to be successful like it is going to be a breath of fresh air having a coach that wants to develop young talent knows they have to develop young talent like the Knicks need young guys to grow you need Kolk to produce next year you need Pakcom Dier to be a player you took him in round one you need round one picks to produce Ero Porty you can see there’s a player down the line we haven’t seen much from Kevin McCull Jr but hopefully you could turn him into a rotational NBA piece like with the way the Knicks are set up in their salary cap we all know they don’t have cap space they’ve got the taxpayer mid-level exception so you’re going to need these young guys on cheap deals to produce you’re going to need a Dier to grow you’re going to need a KO to produce you’re going to need an Ariel Hugp Porter to be here so if you hire Taylor Jenkins that’s good news for them and I think it’s honestly good news whoever the coach is because the Knicks are not going to hire another head coach that does not value growing young players that’s why Mike Malone is not in the search why Mike Malone is not a candidate at this time of recording this video the Knicks know that they’ve got to get young guys to grow to develop and to produce for this organization i thought Tom Tibido earned another year by getting to the conference finals i think there’s something in life worth rewarding achievement and he achieved something and I don’t give a if it wasn’t how long they did it but he achieved something that’s damn hard to do in this league four teams every single year get to do it and I thought he earned that but there’s also enough reasons to move on as well i see both sides of the coin here and I understand why they fired him we’ll see we’ll see if it works out my question is do you want the Knicks to hire Taylor Jenkins seems like he’s the favorite to be the head coach right now we’re also very early in the coach search yes or no to Taylor Jenkins make sure you are following me on social media i’m on Instagram i’m on Twitter marshall Green [Music]

  8. Obi is only playing 3 more minutes in Indiana than he played for the Knicks. Obi had to improve as a player to get those extra 3 minutes as well. Halliburton is the reason Obi has been brought to the next level. Stop it, this is nonsense

  11. bad news is you don't care about the best finals since 2016 when the cavs won it….good news is creating more knicks content with so much time in your hands

  12. This is why I don’t believe so much on the idea that the Knicks don’t have any depth.
    Thibs didn’t give his bench a chance to even make a valid argument.

  24. Hope Obi Toppins flash his ring in Brunson, KAT and Knicks faces. Knicks don’t want to win. They don’t want to play defense and no ball movement on offense.

  26. 1) I Didn't Like Obi Toppin being Traded Marshall, Talk to Leon Rose to Bring Back Quentin Grimes🏀
    2) Bring Back Divanchinzo & Randel🏀
    3) Love for Chris Paul to be our PG🏀
    4) Jalen Brunson Move Back to Guard🏀
    5) Love to get Kevin Durant without giving up too many Picks or Players🏀

    LET'S GO KNICKS 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

  29. James Dolan should fired Leon Rose because he doesn't what he's doing, Tom Thibs was telling him what to do, you can't give a coach everything he want because a new coach going to want something else

  30. Obi played 2.5 more minutes per game in 2025 than he did in 2022 under Thibs. There really wasn't a big difference. I love how Thibs is being scapegoated for Leon's lousy decisions. It's obvious this spin is coming from the front office. You should take whatever leaks you hear with a grain of salt with a lot of people covering their asses.

  31. Lets face it Leon Rose had a bad 2024-25 season. It started with Thibs' extension, which Leon Rose admitted was a mistake when he fired him. Rose traded a treasure trove of 11st round picks for an average role player. Knicks needed a bench and Rose gave us Cam Payne. Rose didn't make a trade to help the Knicks at the deadline when the team needed help. Rose, in my mind, has a lot to make up for in 2025-26

  39. THIBS IS NOT A GOOD COACH THIBS IS DESTRUCTIVE PETTY STUBBORN NOT WILLING TO COLLABORATE AND ACTUALLY A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR WHEN HE STATED HE NEVER HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MIKAL BRIDGES

  40. Thibs should've adjusted to playing the bench and rookies especially after Dolan visited Knicks locker room and talked to Huk and liked his play I'm sure it was motivation for the rooks but Thibs definitely didn't develop our guys like guys like other teams did theirs.
