They brought him in because they thought he was going to be able to attract stars to NY and form like a big 3 with Melo. Once it was proven he couldn't do that 3 offseasons in a row there was no reason for him being there any more
Except the fact that Phil couldn't draw big time FA's to the Lakers to help out Kobe as he was declining should have been an indicator that it wasn't going to work in NY.

Not just about Melo but you know the media gonna make him out to be the problem as if Porzingas wasn't having major issues with Phil too.

Everyone understands Zingas the future except Phil. Dude is used to feeling like the smartest man in the room and it ended him. I get it, I'd feel that way too if I had 11 rings. But jeez. Can't let your offense have some diversity (including adding in the triangle at times) until you got right pieces to run the actual triangle. Can't not disrespect your stars. Can't not get butt hurt. Can't not disrespect LeBron. Yikes

I think the last straw was him trying to trade KP. They basically chose KP over Phil.

Now all we need is someone to put a bullet in Dolan...

Would prefer to douse that fakkit in gasoline and set his ass on fire in front of the garden...
