Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[PIFF101]

When the fukk are our Knicks gonna make a championship contending team WTF!





Phil wants the triangle system to be ran by our next coach, fuk Rambis! I'll be fine with Vogel

dolan gave phil full authority over the melo deal
thats why him treating melo so poorly is so troubling

Is this true?

Doubtful, considering how the Knicks make decisions.

if I had to bet I'd put all my money on saying it's not true because as soon as he got to NY he was hinting at not loving the idea of re-signing Melo. Dolan said work it out, and Mills sweetened it with the no-trade like a dikk.

Jackson: Dolan won't 'meddle' in decisions

Jackson said Sunday that he spoke to Dolan about having full autonomy to make basketball decisions before he accepted the job as Knicks president.

"I was point blank and honest with him and said, 'If I walk into your office or call you up on the telephone and tell you that I want to trade X player who's an All-Star or Y player who's the fans' favorite, if I think it's the right move, I want you to feel confident that I can do this, will you give me the liberty to do this?' And he said yes, and that's really the key," Jackson said while speaking at The New Yorker Festival in Manhattan.

Jackson's authority extended to the team's decision to re-sign Carmelo Anthony, according to the team president. Dolan told Jackson before he took the job in March that if Jackson didn't feel signing Anthony was the "right direction to go, then you don't have to sign him."

"I had that liberty to make that choice and needed to have that to come and do the job the right way," said Jackson, who inked a five-year, $60 million deal to run the Knicks.

If you gonna trade him, Why not just go to the man and ask him would he consider a trade, what teams and would he wave his no trade clause to. All this extra shyt trying to force him out is nonsense, its hoe shyt by phil. Especially since phil signed dude

They took Peter Vecsey speculating that Melo would demand a trade on a podcast or some ish and turned it into a story like dude was citing inside sources. It's a non-story. These writers haven't been able to get any info on what Phil's actually thinking or planning; so they're assuming that he's not doing anything instead of considering that Phil might just be acting outside of the access their sources have. They spent a few days saying Phil was doing nothing and just being lazy on vacation and were still running that line when the story dropped that the Knicks already contacted Vogel within 24 hours of Bird's press conference. So it's a bunch of writers guessing out of frustration that they can't get a good leak to know what's really going on. Vecsey's speculation actually goes hand in hand with a conspiracy theory that's been thrown around the Realgm forums for a couple of weeks now.

The most amazing part of it all is that not one writer has stopped to ask the question, "if Phil Jackson is so intent to sign Kurt Rambis, why hasn't he done it yet? And if he was really worried about the perception of that move, why didn't he interview more candidates to save face?"

Just goes to show, at the end of the day it's always about hits.

Looks like we'll be in the market for a second round pick at least.

I'm not mad at it though. Good coach, didn't get a fair shake in Cleveland, coached LeBron, good resume, and Phil probably feels like he can have a little more control system-wise, over him than Thibs. (Minnesota gonna be LIT tho.)

Melo's ok with Blatt, and being a Jew coach in NYC, it just feels right lmao. I'm on board.

EDIT: thought ur post said it definitely WOULD be Blatt

I'm rooting for Rambis getting kicked off the bench and made Steve Mills' assistant...praying at least...I want a coach that handles TO's like this,
