Sounds like Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony are going to have to hash things out this summer in order for the Knicks to improve next season. According to multiple reports, Melo is fuming with Phil & the Knicks right now over what happened last night.
NBA: Phil Jackson Says the Game Lacks Structure & Cites LeBron James Always Traveling
Look at the comments from any Youtube video with LeBron James highlights and you continuously see the same word “travel”. Many people complain that James travels a lot especially during his ferocious dunks. Now that sentiment is coming from New York Knicks president Phil Jackson, who thinks basketball has lost its way, and he cited LeBron James when outlining the problems.
NBA: Rumor: Knicks Already Looking To Trade The 4th Overall Pick
Knicks fans everywhere are in disarray after missing out on the top pick; another disappointment after a horrendous season that saw the Knicks finish with only 17 wins. Well, it looks like Phil Jackson isn’t ready to just take the cards that were dealt to him, as it is being reported that Jackson is looking to move the 4th overall pick in a trade for a veteran player.
NBA: Phil Jackson Says Timberwolves Had Agreement to Trade Kevin Garnett to Lakers in 2007
The Minnesota Timberwolves trade Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics in 2007. It changed everything, making Big 3’s popular and changed the balance of power in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics won the 2008 title immediately after acquiring Garnett and Ray Allen, and made the Finals again two years later. The Big Three of Garnett, Allen and Paul Pierce was the NBA’s defining superteam until LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up in Miami in 2010. But Garnett was almost a Laker.
Here’s What Phil Jackson Said About Trading The Knicks 1st Round Pick
As Phil Jackson gave his end of the year “Zen Address” to the media today, he spoke about the high possibility of the Knicks trading away their first round draft choice if they fell to the 5th pick. He also added how the Knicks are not likely to contend for a championship next year, but hopes to earn a playoff birth. (Sigh)
NBA: Derek Fisher Says Knicks Can Win 63 Games Next Year
As a Knicks fan, I would like to believe in Derek Fisher. But when he is talking crazy like this it makes it a little harder. The Knicks have only won 15 games so far this season with just a few left. It is the worst season in the history of the franchise and while Fisher shouldn’t get a lot of blame for it, he does. Who knew back before the season started how quickly things would fall apart, or that Melo really wouldn’t be anywhere near 100% before shutting it down. It is cool to look forward to next season with a positive attitude, but to say a team this bad could win 48 more games next season is more than a stretch.
