NBA executive: "Phil Jackson looks like a beaten man already"

[madness]

In the embarrassing aftermath of the Steve Kerr fiasco, Phil Jackson was described by one league executive on Friday as “looking like a beaten man already.”

Jackson has spent the past two days in Chicago at the NBA draft combine trying to regroup after Kerr, his one and only choice to coach the Knicks, decided to take the same position with the Golden State Warriors. Kerr wanted to stay closer to his San Diego home but was also concerned about working for Garden chairman James Dolan. Kerr eventually received a five-year, $25 million deal from Golden State.

Although it had been known for months that Kerr was Jackson's primary target, Knicks ownership did not appear to support the hiring. This comes one month after the Daily News reported that Jackson and Dolan had already clashed over staff moves.

Meanwhile, Jackson intended to make Kerr his first major hire and the deal blew up in his face.

“When I saw Phil today he looked like a guy who had lost $60 million,” said one league executive who was in Chicago. “Last summer he looked refreshed when I saw him. Now he really looks beaten down. He didn’t look good.
