Mike Brown has no other choice but to echo oft-criticized Tom Thibodeau Knicks trait
NY Post
Where are the minutes police now?
Tom Thibodeau’s tendency to give his starters heavy workloads was frequently one of the biggest outside complaints during his Knicks tenure.
He ran his players into the ground, his critics yelled, which much of the league has moved away from.
Subsequently, a big part of Mike Brown’s reputation before the Knicks hired him was that he prefers smaller workloads for his stars, instead giving more minutes to his bench and keeping the bigger picture at the forefront of his decision-making.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
