Phil Jackson is an 11 time NBA champion coach and 2 time NBA champion player. He has been associated with the Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks. He has become the modern day "Zen Master" and patriarch of the triangle. Last spring he was signed as the GM and President of operations for the New York Knicks.
The Problem
The Knicks finished 17-65 and last in the NBA. Their team is Melo and a bunch of D leaguers. No one is willing to play for them or watch them. To top this off Melo finished the with a season ending knee surgery. He is under contract for the next 3 years.
The Solution
Start by firing Phil Jackson. He should of coached this season and Fisher should have been associate coach but instead Phil through Fisher right into the line of fire without setting up a culture beforehand. He has made all the wrong roster moves and has botched the team budget. The Knicks need to let him go and pick a new path to rebuild on.
They need to find a new star to build around. Melo is a one dimensional score only player. He does not lead a team or facilitate an offense. He's not the guy you give over 100 million too.
