A lot will be said and written but to me a big part of the problem is that Phil Jackson was never fully committed. He might of went into this with good intentions but he seemed to just be going through the motions and on autopilot.

...^^^not sure who's more to blame, Jackson or Dolan...ultimately, it's Dolan IMO.

 

[Messiah717]

Dolan is a major problem and since he's the chairman he has to take the bulk of the blame. The Knicks have been terrible before Jackson came in.

Memo to knicks.....might have been a good idea to fire jackson before the draft and him taking a pg to play the soon to be non existent triangle with the knicks. Knicks are a complete joke and will have trouble attracting a top exec imo which they had once with donnie walsh till dolan stepped in and fucked everything up.

I honestly thought Jackson would be the long term answer to the Knicks decades long debacle. Imo, Dolan is the one who needs shit canned. But that's just my op....

Yup, they passed on a better player at the whim of a guy who's leaving the organization. Will turn out to be another complete waste of a pick.

Dolan is the curse that refuses to go away with the Knicks and the Rangers..........but more so with the
Knicks because he likes to get involved. Unlike with the Rangers, he is not meddlesome.
He is one waste of a an owner. He knows shit and proves it year in and year out.
