BT and Sal are fired up discussing the latest Knicks news, with Rick Brunson's role reportedly being cut back under new head coach Mike Brown. While the organization claims this move grants Brown more control and addresses "distractions" or perceived conflicts of interest, Sal argues it's a dangerous demotion that could create an untenable situation for Rick, ultimately jeopardizing the relationship with star player Jalen Brunson. Given Jalen's close bond and loyalty to his father and his support for former coach Tom Thibodeau, the demotion is seen by some as a potential misstep that could upset the Knicks' franchise player and lead to further instability, despite Rick reportedly being "on board" with the change for now.
