2708535, Coulda been prime Phil Jackson. Wouldn't have mattered. It's the Knicks.

They're fucked forever as long as the ownership remains the same.
2708536, who was responsible for bringing in 10 guys who play the same position?
Posted by RandomFact, Fri Dec-06-19 04:36 PM
that person needs to be fired.
2708537, Organization is thoroughly rotten at the core
Posted by mrhood75, Fri Dec-06-19 04:39 PM
This will be "same shit, different season" for whoever else they bring in until Dolan is gone.
2708538, Good. He essentially effective at doing nothing.

"what if we got a bunch of power forwards who can't shoot, plus a bunch of point guards who can't pass or shoot, and then called it an NBA team"?

Posted by PROMO, Fri Dec-06-19 05:36 PM

2708664, He could be...

But it doesn't seem clear either way.

Not that many rookie or fresh-faced coaches get jobs with stable, well-managed front offices but Fizdale's upper management has been especially dysfunctional. It's hard, for me at least, to say if he's good or bad because he hasn't had a chance to really teach his system or have a season or two without interference to find his groove.
2708544, I’m glad he’s free of that mess.

2708545, Glad he got up out of there. FIRE DOLAN.

2708558, I'm Gonna Say Something Crazy, But
Posted by RexLongfellow, Sat Dec-07-19 05:17 AM
1. Fizz deserved better. This roster is trash
2. This is NOT on Jim Dolan. I don't even blame much on Scott Perry. The common denominator is Steve Mills. Dude has to go. He's overseen much of the trash that's been happening, and he's always "survived". Dolan cut the checks and got out the way. I can't put this one on Dolan.

Phil Jackson, however, was ALL Dolan...fuck Phil

But yes, Fizz deserved better. AND more time (but black coaches only get a year)
2708559, somebody must've told mills they wanted to contend right away
Posted by Rjcc, Sat Dec-07-19 06:23 AM
idk why that's the way he tried to do it, but...

2708561, Mills has given us $80 million in cap space for next season
Posted by Castro, Sat Dec-07-19 08:26 AM
That was his directive- construct a team, but if we don't land anyone on our 'A' list, just get the best available trade pieces onto the roster and we'll ride it out.

So Mills has done this- he has cleaned up Phil's shit, and we have cap space. It is Dolan's fault that dudes don't want to come play in NY.
2708564, If thats the case, why fire fizz?
Posted by Cenario, Sat Dec-07-19 09:31 AM
2708719, Cuz Dolan would have probably fired Mills if he didn't do something
Posted by Castro, Sun Dec-08-19 04:32 PM
Dolan is the cancer.
2708587, Steve Kerr says he would have been fired by now if he coached the Knicks:

2708708, That nigga would have been fired 3 years ago if he wasn't on the Dubs
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Sun Dec-08-19 03:14 PM
2708959, He was saying the job is impossible.
Posted by Miles, Thu Dec-12-19 02:13 PM
This is Kerr acknowledging that the Knicks organization is too functional for any coach to succeed.

"As we know in this business, it’s extremely fragile, and your job is dependent on a lot of things when you’re a coach in this league. Number one, probably the talent you’re able to coach. But just as importantly is the strength of the organization and the group around you. It takes a really strong organization to help coaches and help players get through difficult times. I’m very blessed to have that around me, and not every coach does. It’s a tough league.”
2708974, I wouldn't take the job, even as a first-time head coach
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Dec-12-19 06:29 PM
Wait for something else. It's a great way to fuck up your career.
2711754, Steve Mills...gone
