Sources: Knicks, Phil Jackson met

[ExodusNirvana]

New York Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills met about two weeks ago with Phil Jackson about the possibility of Jackson becoming the team's next coach, sources told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

The sources told Smith the message the Knicks received from Jackson was that he was not interested in the position at this time.

The Knicks, who snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win over Minnesota on Wednesday, continue to struggle under coach Mike Woodson. They are 18 games under .500 and 5½ games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The 68-year-old Jackson, who has a career record of 1,155-485 in 20 seasons with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, has won 11 NBA championships.

Don't be fooled Melo...Phil has no interest in coaching here and Dolan is the father of all lies. RUN.

Why would he want to be the GM of that catastrophe? He's worked at the top of the mountain with Jerry Buss and you think he wants to lower himself to work with James Dolan?

 

[Mr. Foxx Foxx]

Phil is not coming out of retirement for a rebuilding project

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

It seems like every fukking year the same 2 stories pop up: 'We want Phil to coach the Knicks' and 'We need to amnesty Boozer'. Every year nothing happens. Must be a slow news day

[duckbutta]

Uh...the knicks are doing it wrong...

FIrst you get a top 1 -3 player in your team who could be on of the 10 best of all time...then you get a players to go along with him who is a 4 - 10 player and could be top 30 all time...then get you a ridiculous defensive stopper so said players can just focus on doing everything else but play defense

Only after you've done that, do you call Phillip...he is a chef that only knows how to cook with the best ingredients money can buy
