Baker the shot maker
They did him dirty why that spelling.
The aim in re-signing Carmelo Anthony to a no-trade contract was (as the triangle unfolded) to have Melo get the ball at the pinch-post, i.e., one elbow or the other. From there, he would be one or two dribbles away from the hoop, and too isolated to be easily double-teamed.
When the triangle fails to generate a good look and the shot clock is expiring, getting the ball to someone who can create his own shots is a necessity. In other words, Melo was given the chance to be the next Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.
But Anthony wanted no part of sacrificing his hold-and-shoot game in favor of a team-oriented attack.
With the personnel we've had on the court, it wasn't feasible.If that Charly Rosen article has any truth to it, looks like I was right about Phil and Melo having some type of agreement before Melo resigning:
...and this is where the relationship went completely downhill.
fukk that article . This Is why I' wanted Phil gone . Man is an embarrassment , takes zero blame and it's everyone else . At some point you need to look in thr mirror . It's like how coughlin one day realized if I want to keep my job I need to modernize my approach somewhat and try to relate to my players . Phil didn't learnPhil's man wrote an article about his firing.
Melo
KP
JR
Shumpert
All in the firing line.
Rosen | Analyzing Phil Jackson's Tenure With Knicks
Oh Phil didn't sign or trade for any washed up players ??? No one here is sayinh they want Teague or too trade picks for washed up vets . We just want someone who csn do the job as a basketball person WITHOUT all the bullshyt Phil was doing and being more competent and flexible than him as well .The fact that u said layden was better than Phil makes me question your opinions
Hope u enjoy Jeff Teague and trading draft picks for washed up players again
And if we don't do that ?? You'll what apologize ?So next season when we win 15 games and don't have our own draft pick, come holla at me.
He pretty much said every move except some coach holdovers( I guess excuses for firing the coach KP liked ??) was great but the players were the Problem cause they all were selfish immature divas while taking personal shots at players . All the things that Phil was doing to hurt his relationship with the players in the first place . Then acting like the media lobHaving just read this, it’s pitiful how biased this guy is towards Phil. I understand he’s your mans but golly he’s on some major That would put many others to shame. 90% of the piece is him shifting on players with very little objectivism.
it doesn't say that at all breh stop reachingIf that Charly Rosen article has any truth to it, looks like I was right about Phil and Melo having some type of agreement before Melo resigning:
