Phil concede on the triangle?

I think the Knicks should try running the Harlem Globetrotters offense next year. Nobody would be expecting that.

Oh my FUCKING God. Him!? Over Blatt and Vogel!?

This guy couldn't even control Markieff Morris.

At least it's not Rambis, so whatever.

Kind of an interesting hire when his offensive philospophy has depended so heavily on good guard play, which we don't currently have...

Guard play? The Knicks should trade for Swaggy P then.

Hornacek was one of the better combo guards the NBA has seen in the past 30 years. He was a nice 3rd wheel to Stockton and Malone. Super underrated.

LOL, Ny has nothing to offer for him. They aint trading Porzingis.

Bingo, that's the problem. Can't trade Porzingis, not going to trade Carmelo and don't have draft picks to work with. Not sure what we have to offer other than maybe expiring contracts, which likely wouldn't be near enough...

That's why I don't really understand all of the flack that Phil Jackson has taken for the job he has done since he became GM. He hasn't been perfect, especially hiring Fisher as coach, but when it came to moveable assets, draft picks, cap space, etc. The Knicks might have been the only team in worse shape than the Lakers.

It's like people thought that Phil just showing up would somehow make the Knicks a playoff team.

I was actually hoping for Rambis. They're going to suck anyway so they might as well have a coach that can guarantee them a few more losses and a better draft pick after next season.

The Nets were in worse shape than the Knicks and Lakers after what they gave the Celtics. That's about it though.

Phil is being given flack for a lot of reasons and many are legit. The Calderon trade was just plain bad. The Fisher hire was a mess. Grant didn't play well as a rookie . He gave Carmelo the no trade clause which few teams do. He skipped the combines. I know he wanted to get rid of a bunch of players but he got literally zero for them. He went after Greg Monroe who decided he'd rather go to Milwalkee and part of Phil's appeal was that he was supposed to be able to seal the deal with free agents. He also tends to be really arrogant in interview always pointing out how many rings he has. That's turned a bunch of people off

IMO opinion the jury is still out. Can't do a rebuild in 2 years

this is a terrible hire for the Knicks. They would have been better off going with Vogel. Its actually quite a baffling move seeing as there were better candidates available.

its great for me cause I hate the Knicks, but bad for Knicks fans lol.
