The Knicks strategy of changing coach failed, the Rockets extreme 1 for 1 broke, should Uduka stay?

According to the news from the great master Shams, the Knicks uniform group that fired Thibodeau has contacted the Timberwolves, Rockets and Mavericks teams many times in the past two days, hoping to trade a coach from it. After chatting with the Mavericks for a few days, it made some progress but failed, while the Rockets and the Timberwolves broke down before negotiations began. There have been head coach trading in NBA history, but head coach trading is a bit different from player trading. Usually the team can only trade the signing rights, which means that the team will immediately terminate the previous contract and get the opportunity to sign with the new coach.

The things that come from different levels between coaches and coaches are different. For example, Kidd was traded from the Nets to the Bucks, and the Bucks paid two future second-round picks; and Doug Rivers, who is more in position than him, was dug from the Celtics to the Clippers, and gave a signing right of 1 for Rivers. Obviously, the few coaches the Knicks currently want are all relatively successful roles in recent times. Basically, it is necessary for the Knicks to make a first-round pick, and they may also need to add cash.

The Knicks' ideas and coach changing strategies are somewhat tactics. They have been very successful in the past two seasons. Under the leadership of Thibodeau, they also made a 25-year best record in team history this year and entered the Eastern Conference Finals, including a "accidental" defeat of defending champion Celtics in six games in the second round. Such a record is enough to satisfy many teams.

can only prove that they want to continue to become stronger. To be honest, there should be many head coaches on the market now, but the Knicks Uniform Team doesn't believe in these idle staff. In fact, there are many good coaches who have not found jobs yet, such as Mike Malone of the Nuggets, Vogel who just finished class in the Suns, etc. Maybe they want to get a head coach who is working in high intensity without warming up, and they are not even satisfied with the Eastern Conference Finals, so the minimum requirement for this coach is to be guaranteed is at least the finals.

In fact, it was a bit reasonable for the Knicks to contact Finch. The latter was Towns' mentor. The hard-working style of Towns in the 23-25 ​​season was also related to Finch's coaching. But they were a little confused when they contacted the Rockets coach. Maybe this was a matter of Uduka's coaching ability. Rockets record Iko revealed that the Rockets directly rejected the Knicks, and the team believes that Uduka is an irreplaceable coach.

Having said that, if you really force the Rockets to say that a non-selling product may be really Uduka. Stone once said in an interview with Houston media half a month ago that the reason why the team is not in a hurry to trade superstars is because superstars do not conform to the team building logic of "Wudu card-style basketball". Uduka prefers to build its own young team. Therefore, the Rockets regard Uduka as a long-term cooperative coach. This season he just brought the Rockets to the second place in the Western Conference. Uduka himself has won the best coach of the year. How could he change the coach now in the current upward momentum?

I believe that fans have expressed their opinions on the question of Uduka's stay or not. Being the best coaching candidate has proved his coaching ability, and bringing a team that was outside the playoffs last season to second place in the West District of the regular season this season. This is his excellence. However, it is still difficult to count on Uduka to lead the Rockets to the championship, which is in line with the saying that the coach has a high lower limit, but there is almost no upper limit. If the Knicks exchange Towns for Uduka, do you think the Rockets will agree?
