Phil Jackson w/ Media

[YaMomsEx]

I love how in the middle of Melo's contract everyone is like "Melo sucks," then when he's about to become a free agent all these fans of other teams want him on their roster.

It just shows you the "Knick Hate" that A LOT of people have

[Stoosh]

Interesting that Phil is not interested in begging Melo to stay. There wont be any pathetic billboards around the city ala Lakers &Dwight. Basically we're moving forward towards winning regardless. It's about the team winning not just Melo winning.

[Dr. Detfink]

Phil is already punking the media, shooting down the rumor that Dolan was interfering with his operation. Phil is a master psychologist. He's going to drive the media crazy with mind games.

If you wanna be with the team, you will. plain and simple.

I have a feeling that Kerr could be a red herring, pun intended. Hunch is it will be someone else. Not a strong hunch but that's a 60-40 type guess.

I think so too. Kerr has gotten in a few words to Jackson's benefit in this process. That might be the point of it.

I dont see Kerr as the motivational type. Plus he has always had negative things to say about the knicks. Give me an example as to where Steve Kerr has gotten aggressive or angry. We need a leader not a Puppet that just knows the offense.

He got into a Fist Fight with Michael Jordan in Practice

Jordan punched him

The injury thing is just an excuse for hope. Or a justification of greed. I been following the sport for a very long time. Might as well say he should get paid now before some unforseen fatal tragedy occurs.

And again. If fear of injury and losing millions was the concern. He would opt in. Prove his shoulders are fine. And get a big contract in a mega spending market next year.

The whole thing contradicts itself.

Carmelo is being instructed to do this so they can get out of town. Not for basketball reasons. But personal or business related reasons.

And that's why Phil Jackson is speaking this way.

Jordan punched him

Jordan didn't sucker punch him

Jordan 6'6 220
Kerr 6'2 170

Who do you think is gonna win a fight?

Phil Jackson isn't the motivational type either, the guy has Meditation sessions he's

[markdeez33]

As long as Phil can

1. Trade Tyson Chandler for cap relief + draft picks
2. Trade Amare for a budding star and/or let him expire
3. Trade Felton for a competent point guard
4. Trade Bargnani for a washing machine
5. Re-sign Melo for much lower than the super max OR sign & trade him for draft picks

He has my full support. I fully expect atleast 3 of these things to happen.

How do you trade an expiring for cap relief?

I could've sworn Tyson had 2 years left, not 1. My apologies!

Steve Kerr sure had ICE in his VEINS for almost every 4th quarter I ever saw him play in

That's pretty much how I see it

Kay & LaGreca continue banging the drum.

Kay inferred that Jax is 'gutless.' This is just weird.

The part where Phil said Kerr would be on the list of candidates but he won't divulge anyone else who is a candidate, and that the list is long, plus Kerr talking openly about it to the media. I think that's not how it would unfold most likely, and I think that Phil and Kerr have probably spoken and are coordinating. Phil is helping Kerr a little, and Kerr keeping up the appearance that he may go to New York? Not sure of course. But I don't think it's Kerr in the end.

Kerr's "source" told Isola that he was concerned to go to NYK because of the meddling. Jackson's concerns two steps removed. He's also drumming up interest in the position (as is Harper). It's the pretty girl theory - interest attracts interest.

If Kerr was planning on coming, I'd be surprised that his people would talk to Isola. I'm with you on fake hustle.

Phil out here representing

I want to buy that cap now, whats dope about this pick is that he is wearing the logo from back in his playing days.

“I disagreed with him one time,” Kerr said with a chuckle. “I think he punched me in the face.”

That disagreement happened during a scrimmage at training camp when Kerr took offense to something Jordan said, and he didn’t refrain from expressing his true feelings.

“It was one of the best things that ever happened for me, I needed to stand up and go back at him, I think I earned some respect. But we have a great relationship ever since… you gotta prove it and then once you prove it, you’re fine.”

[cuyankees]

Damn I'm excited about PJ with the Knicks. He's setting the table for a possible Melo departure.

You have to happy as a Knicks fan.

[Sprewell4Three]

Wtf is Michael Kay screaming about.
