Just when he said he would be more involve, it seem like he took a few steps back..I barely see him at home games

I remember seeing something but can't remember where of Phil talking with Kp at a practice. They had a picture of them talking and they were standing under the basket on the sideline. He's probably doing his part in the closed practices out of respect for Fisher cause the media would run wild with stories if they had pics of him involved in all the practices.

I think Phil said he would be more involved just to appease media and the likes but knew he would do things behind closed doors as he pleased.

I can see that being the case. Phil loves playing the media. Whatever the case may be I think all that matters is the results. I also think Phil is hard at work thinking about his next move.

This could be true, but it's hard to believe he would tinker with this roster if they continue to play at a high level and are winning.

I think he could certainly give Fish more quality depth! No reason not to take a look at a player or 2 that could help. There's a way to work in new players without messing up your chemistry. It's likely to be a guard anyway. If the player has talent there should be some minutes to take a look at some point over the rest of the season.

Read my latest thread. I credit Phil for ordering him to set a 9 men Rotation

Now? He's letting it be.

thats almost as bad as the posters who say that melo did not change, he just has better players now.

Melo changed in part because he plays with quality players he can trust. It's not the only reason but he doesn't become this player with last year's roster. Sound reasonable enough?

not really but thats fine. At least he changed.

So many people always said you get Melo a quality supporting cast who can make shots and his game changes for the better. He was an MVP candidate in 2012/2013 and has adjusted this year as well. For those who said that, it was pretty much spot on. For those who never liked Melo, they will naturally say he just changed but it has nothing to do with his supporting cast. Funny how that works.
