That is my vote and if I cant have him I want Calipari. No to Kiki who drafted Skita dn nene over Aaamare and Caron Butler. Mark Jackson President GM Greg Anthony Vice President AS GM Tom Thibadeu Coach

Why? And I don't get the call for Calipari. What has either done?

Same question on why? If anything Jax has shown more of a predlicition for coaching.

Martin, on Calipari- I think he's done a great job of recuriting athletes without the big brand name. He has an eye for talent and I think he deserves another shot at the NBA at some point (if he wants it). But yeah, mostly a coach.

Calipari has a very questionable track record in the NBA. I don't think he'll succeed here. I would actually be surprised if he wanted to come back.

I like Mark Jackson, but it's hard to know enough about him. I would love to bring in a Jerry Colangelo and bring in Mark Jackson to learn under him and be his successor. We need someone who will be entrenched in their ways enough to get their plan rolling and not be influenced by Dolan. I'd worry about bringing someone too green in here - I'd worry they'd just be threatened and bossed around by Jimmy Jazz.

"Mark has 17 years of NBA playing experience. He's from NY--When you listen to him talk---he knows so much about the evaulation side of the game---he knows the game--knows what type of players you need to win. He's highly intelligent savy with good charachter. He's young he's energetic--there are so many +s with mark and I like Greg ASnthony as his sidekick. "

Isn't that what people were saying about Isiah? I like Jax and he is as bball savvy as anyone in the world, but I'm just not a fan at all of hiring anyone with no front office experience into a role where they have to do a lot more than player eval. Being a GM is just as much about weighing value and managing resources as it is about player eval.

Colangelo should be #1 priority right now... if he doesn't want the gig, then you turn to guys like Walsh or West... Kiki's not 1 of the top options but he's at least got experience... i don't want Jax running personnel decisions, i want him coaching the guys on the roster once our GM acquires them... i think he's an extremely intelligent & wily player with tons of experience & knowledge that he can impart on our young kids, but he has zero experience as a GM & i don't wanna go through another 4 years of ineptitude at the GM position.

I pretty much agree about the lack of experience- especially here in nyc.

it will be interesting to see how steve kerr does in phoenix- I didn't think the move for Shaq would work out- but they seemed to have adjusted nicely.

Mark Jackson brings more fire and style to the sideline. At 43 years old, he is a perfect age to bridge the old school/new school gap when the Knicks draft Brook Lopez and pair him with David Lee and The Mayor in the frontcourt.

Backcourt floor organizer?

Piece of cake. Rick Brunson makes a comeback.

I think Jax looks good because he has not screwed up.

Has not done a thing either.

can't all gm's with an extensive track record point to some failures? I mean the law of pecentages say it happens.

Even SA gave away Scola!

I was gonna say the same thing. All that stuff about Mark applies to Isiah except Isiah was the far better player.
