Thats one hell of a a task from a mental standpoint, from a game standpoint he'd probably excel.
He'd only excel when the games didn't mean anything.

Why would you laugh? That bum ass scrub is under contract and no other team wants him.
You know what's funny though? That you tried to perpetrate Smith was a better basketball player than Aaron Aflalo... That was some funny Ish.

Nothing a little hypnosis cant fix.
But seriously though, i dont see a team even wanting him, so keeping him is already forgone conclusion.
But when he opts out...renounce.

I'll go scour down the exact posts when I get back if you want me to. There were a gang of you JR groupies that all agreed that Smith was better than Aflalo when I said I would take Aflalo over Smith.

He should fire those two either way.

Do it. Find the thread, find my quotes. I stopped defending him, or making comparisons to other players, many moons ago. While I do root for, JR..."groupie" is probably too strong a word.

It goes back to priorities.. I would like Phil to focus on other things other than trying to rehabilitate players when there are players that don't need any rehabilitating that would be more than willing to play for us.

So he isn't on record saying Melo told him in the exit interviews that he would take less right? He's basing it on Melo's comments during the season.
So what is less? What's your number?
If Jackson determined that Anthony was not worth a maximum contract that would carry him to his 35th birthday and believed the Knicks to be better off clearing massive cap space to attract free agents after the 2014-15 season, would James L. Dolan, the Garden’s executive chairman, go along with a decision to walk away from his signature move, which restored star power to the organization? Would he allow Jackson to tempt Anthony to look elsewhere with a reduced offer?
BUT it seems like to me the media is drumming up mystery based around a straight forward message Phil gave.Melo's not getting max money, and Phil said it without "saying" it so to speak , so why the doubt that Dolan's gonna get out of pocket if the consensus is Melo's either taking a haircut or he's out?Jackson was promised full autonomy by Dolan in running the organization. But a little more than a month after he signed a five-year deal, there was a report Wednesday in The Daily News that Dolan was resisting some nonbasketball personnel changes that Jackson wanted to make.
Jackson did not dismiss the report, saying: “I like to know that the people who are here want to buy in and they want to be part of it and throw their entire being into what we’re trying to do. If they have a brand or stamp on them that puts them as Phil Jackson’s guy or whatever, that’s not important. It’s important that we join forces and minds and work together.”
