Mike Brown’s success in New York will all go down to how he manages his relationship with James Dolan

The New York Knicks are not exactly a burning house, but Mike Brown is the coach you take when you need a fire extinguisher.

After training Lebron James and Kobe Bryant and was in the Steve Kerr staff in Golden State, he was around the torch carriers and does not seem to be tied under the lights. Brown changed the culture to Cleveland his first time and more recently sacrament, learning from Kerr to loosen himself a little. He also joked that he had brought around the pen and paper when Kerr delivered his messages to Warriors’ team because they were simple but effective.

He does not have a checkered track, being twice coach of the NBA year, but after his initial period in Cleveland since 2005-10, he did not last long in his next situations. Everything could only be a product of oddity from the offici fronts and the ownership groups-raising the Lakers for a season and five games of the following one before having shocked shockly in 2012, returning to Cleveland in 2013-14 for a season of 33-49-year before Lebron James returned to Ohio-and then two incorrect seasons in sacrament.

It seemed that the kings organly had come out on Brown even after two successful seasons of 48 and 46 wins, and that they had been fired after a start 13-18 this season were the kings that were the kings.

But managing is a key component when you have a job like this. Not only because the president of Knicks Leon Rose’s basketball operations has not kept a press conference for years, which means that Brown will have to be the spokesman for all Knicks while he is there, but Rose and the Senior William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley adviser are at ease with him by going up to the days of Brown in Cleveland.

Yet Brown will also have to manage the relationship with the owner Knicks James Dolan. Dolan has never been a fan of Tom Thibodeau, said sources in Yahoo Sports, and was the key component behind the dismissal of Thibodeau, even after the Knicks race at the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.

Dolan has been attracted to Brown’s success as head coach, compared to other candidates such as Timberwolves’s assistant Micah Nori, the former Memphis Taylor Jenkins coach and the former coach of Charlotte James Borrego.

Whether it’s to get fat with Dolan or know what she wants, this is the extra element of this work, beyond the challenges of New York and the franchise itself, and the belief that the conference is open due to all the catastrophic wounds to the best teams.

Announcement

The first time the Knicks go to a series of loss of three games, the song will start on Mark Jackson or Michael Malone or Jeff Van Gundy, or even the coaches with whom Knicks has not received the permission to speak, like Jason Kidd.

It is not an easy job, but it is full of opportunities, if it can navigate in difficult waters that start with Dolan. Rose does not seem the type to have a short fuse, so there will be time to massage that relationship, especially when the Knicks operate around the fringes of the roster.

Thibodeau notoriously did not play his bench, but there were only so many good options there. Maybe he would have played Jordan Clarkson if he had been to the Knicks roster last season, together with Guerschon Yabusele – two additions in the last few days. Clarkson fought the fasciitis plantar last season, limiting it to only 37 games, and is a classic gunner from the bench. Yabusele was solid in his first complete season of significant race with the 76er at the age of 29, then he will add a first-line depth behind the cities of Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony.

Maximize the Brunson combination of Towns-Jalen-Che has failed in the finals of the Conference against the Indian Pacers-DOVs would be at the top of the Docket of Brown. When the two are offensively, the Knicks can overwhelm their opponents because Brunson is relentless and Towns is a matchup problem.

Defensively, however, this is a critical problem. Not only is it difficult for the two best players of a team to be defensive sieve, but the problems are on the edge and at the point of attack, which means that neither of them can hide.

Throughout the defensive magic of Thibodeau, it was something that could not even resolve, and the Knicks could only raise to a defensive team by means of the package.

Managing players is supplied with their elements, because it is the NBA. Brunson was a Thibs loyalist, but swinging the boat is not something he was known for. Mikal Bridges has come forward with complaints for appetizers who play too many minutes during the regular season – an obvious problem for anyone who has a job vision – but it seems that Brown will arrive in the year with a clean blackboard and had no reputation to have worked too much with players with the kings.

Announcement

Perhaps Brown was stubborn and inflexible, who was the word as a sacrament when he was fired last season – and this was the same melody that everyone sang on Thibodeau throughout his coaching mandate.

It is a challenge as much as it is an opportunity for Brown, with earth mines and unreasonable expectations everywhere, but everything starts with Dolan.
