Episode 9 | A Spike In The Right Direction (NYK Knicks) - a podcast by LoudBooth Podcasts

The New York Knickerbockers Have Long Been Seen As A Storied NBA Franchise, With Very Little New Millennium Success To Show For Their Previous Greatness... Post The Golden Era, When The Garden Was Eden & The Knick’s Won 2 NBA Titles In 1970 & 1973, The Blue & Orange Fans Have Had Very Little Reason To Celebrate What Has Been Happening In New York Over The Last Few Decades. A Change In Backroom Staff & Boardroom Executives Over The Past 3 Seasons, Has Gradually Led To The Organization Beginning To Find Their Feet Again, In An Age Where Meticulous Planning & Visionary Foresight Can Rapidly Propel A Team Into The Upper Echelons Of Modern Sports. Having Recently Watched How The Golden State Warriors Rebuilt A Once Good Franchise, Into One Of The Greatest Franchises Of The Modern Era, Off Of Good Personnel Hires, Methodical Player Acquisition Through The Draft, Trades & Free Agency, Along With Persistent Player Development... The New York Knicks Are Now Positioning Themselves To Make Their Own Resurgence.



GM Scott Perry Has Been In His Role The Longest, Of The 3 Newly Appointed Wisemen, Which Has Allowed Him To Begin Building The Foundation For What, Former Super Agent & President Of Basketball Operations Leon Rose Will Have Envisaged For The New, New York Knicks, Who Will Be Under The Mentorship Of Coach Tom Thibodeau, A Known Defensive Specialist Who Likes To Build A Team On Sound Defensive Principles & A Team-First Level Of Work Ethic... How This New, Way More Professional Regime Will Run Alongside The Preexisting Lassie-Faire Attitude That Has Been Rampaging Through The Knicks For Decades Remains To Be Seen. One Thing Is For Certain, This New Staff Seems To Be Rather Cognizant Of The Need For More Veteran Leaders In The Team, As They Fear Running The Risk Of Potentially Missing Key Steps In The Development Of Their Young Core, Due To There Being A Lack Of Leadership On The Court, From Players That Can Help Translate The Overall Message From The Coaches. The Draft Went Rather Well, Considering That The Kicks Didn’t Necessarily Knick It Up As Usual, While Doubling Down On Some Short-Term Deals To Keep Their Powder Dry For Any Superstar Trades That They Could Get In & Amongst, Using Their Now Very Enticing Pool Of Assets, In Picks & Players.
