What does GS have over the Knicks? Curry = Melo, Thompson is good but I can see night where JR is on par. Lee is a plus but if Amare plays the way he did towards the end of the season I don't see much of an advantage there. If you watched the Knicks this year you will see that there was things missing and that was a system and a PG. that's why I don't think the GS job is all that much better than the Knicks besides on the Knicks Kerr only has to increase on 37 wins on GS he has to win 50+.

It's easy to be down on the Knicks I am with you on that. These Knicks have shown that they can not be relied upon to show for next year. I hear and understand you, but with that said add a legit PG to the mix and a system to fall back on and I assure that once next year is finished the Knicks will have made the playoffs going into a FA period and draft looking more positive than the GS situation.

I sure hope not because that would mean that we probably starphucked

As it stands now, GS is a much better team than us. They also faced the clippers who are a champion caliber team.

VMart - please do not judge the Knicks future in a vacuum. The only team in the east we are better than is the Sixers.

Toronto, New Jersey and Washington have left us gasping for air.

Catching up is never easy. Where is that LEGIT (dominant Damian Lillard type) point guard coming from?

Every year is a different entity. There are always players out there. I am confident that Phil Jackson will find the right PG to play in his system. You don't need a Lillard type PG you need a PG that plays a system and does the necessary things to help the team win. Defense, hit the open shot make the pass that leads to a pass. That was the type of PG Kidd is and that is the type of PG that Jackson has always had. See Harper, Paxson, Fischer, Armstrong numbers were never gaudy but they got the job done.

If that happens it would be like when Phil dropped the Knicks for Lakers. I wouldn't fault Kerr in that regards.

with that said, gsw would be stupid to go with a rookie coach when they are trying to win a title.

You make a great point. Look for GS to look into Larry Brown someone who has won a championship in the past.

I agree.....This is why Kerr hasn't committed yet. He knew the GS situation. He has people in that organization that he used to work with. But I think the deal breaker is going to be the owner. He has a great relationship with GS owner and the micromanagement of Dolan is well documented. He also has phill as a mentor for life, regardless of his decision. I'm the biggest knick fan around, but if I was Kerr, this is an easy decision. NY can make or brake your career. GS is a little safer if he fails. Both jobs would be a great learning experience. Failing in GS is like Landing on a soft pillow. Fail in ny is like Landing on hard bricks.
