The Knicks finally have their next head coach, Mike Brown. This feels like a lateral move from Thibs. Gio does love the experience he brings. There were also rumors going around that the Knicks were interested in bringing Ben Simmons in. The press conference is going to be interesting because nobody from the Knicks addressed why they got rid of Thibs, so all of the questions are going to be about that now. Mike Brown is inheriting the best Knicks team a coach was ever handed.

The Knicks are about to hire Mike Brown, the Mets look ugly again in a day game loss, Clay Holmes gets taken out slightly early, and Ben Simmons is on the Knicks radar.

Ben Simmons and the Knicks have interest, but does it make sense for a Finals contender?

BT's initial reaction to the breaking news of the Knicks hiring Mike Brown is largely positive, rating it a "solid eight" out of ten, highlighting Brown's personality and offensive acumen as crucial for a team now expected to win a championship. He contrasts Brown's likely approach with Tom Thibodeau's "grunt work" personality, suggesting Brown brings a needed offensive flow. Sal, however, is vehemently against the hire, calling Brown a "retread" and expressing disappointment that this is the Knicks' answer to firing Thibodeau with the singular goal of winning a championship, further expressing his distaste for the idea of the Knicks even "kicking the tires" on Ben Simmons.

In the fiery final hour of their show, BT and Sal dive deep into the breaking news that Mike Brown is expected to be named the new head coach of the New York Knicks. Sal vehemently expresses his disappointment, questioning the hire as a step down from Tom Thibodeau, arguing that Brown, despite his Coach of the Year accolades, hasn't won a championship as a head coach and that his success was largely tied to LeBron James. BT, however, defends the move, citing Brown's strong winning percentage, experience with high-profile organizations and players like Kobe Bryant and Steph Curry, and the potential for a more dynamic offense, believing this change is necessary to elevate the Knicks to a championship level. The hosts also touch upon the Yankees' player development issues, the potential (and highly debated) acquisition of Ben Simmons, and the ongoing saga of LeBron James possibly coming to New York, all while fielding impassioned calls from listeners debating the future of their respective New York teams.

WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW! After the Knicks hired their next head coach in Mike Brown, it seems that they are still not done making moves right now. However, it looks like the Knicks are headed in the wrong direction with their next free agency move. According to reports, the Knicks have checked in on Ben Simmons and are interested in adding him to this Knicks team. This would be one of the worst decisions made during this offseason by the Knicks... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Send JD a text message and be heard!POOR POOR JAZZZZZZ.  I get it was a bad call on @jazzchisholmfdn and fine with him arguing but then tweeting and deleting after the game?  More important for him to play in the @yankees games than getting ejected.  12-7 on four game win streak.  Same record as @mets but the @juansoto_25 anger is ridiculous.   @thejudge44 had a slow start last year.   19 games doesn't make an #mlb season.  @companyadjace @thomaswdonovan @robparker1980 @call_me_tca_prez @donna.fender @kevdu_theman @brianbarnaby @_uly2308_ & @cpd94_mk always has to be NYY & NYM talk and does one ring for Soto make the fifteen year contract a success?  Had the @cubs 13-11 win over @dbacks on during #podcast which was 2-1 going into 7.  Cubs #grandslam makes it 7-1 going into 8th.  Dbacks score 10 in top of 8th and Cubs come back with 6 to make it 13-11 and the comeback win. #wrigleyfield always expect the unexpected.  #mlbsteroidera & @nyknicks #nbaplayoffs if series with @detroitpistons goes 7 games would take two weeks.  I know it's all about the dinero but still.  #loadmanagement & @bensimmons an #nba player who never did enough to become the player that warranted the #1 pick. #brycejames to @arizonambb is all because of his last name.  He's no @bronny and that's not saying much.  @aaronrodgers12 he needs football more than it needs him. @steelers fans & #miketomlin don't see this as a good connection. #sportstrivia at the finish. All sports.
