I think Wojo generally is in a state of disbelief in regards to how bad things are with the Knicks and Phil running things. This was the first time that I have heard him reference having a conversation with KP. (it wasnt about the state of the knicks). I also thought his insight into Pelinka scouting and recruiting guys to sign with him right up until he became gm of the Lakers was interesting. I wonder if more teams follow the Warriors model and hire agents to run things.

The main issue was dealing with Rose missing camp and then Noah not being healthy. Then BJ and Melo not buying in and all of them basically mounting a Mutiny! Once Melo is gone THERE IS NO DYSFUNCTION! People are not picking up on how detrimental the vets were to the process this year. KP and Janis are taking the Players side but not realizing those guys were wrong.

I don't remember it verbatim but I think Wojo stated what the issues were very well. I agree with him. I don't think KP sticks around if Phil keeps messing up in all aspects of his job. Nothing he said in his presser gave any indication that he is changing. If anything he is doubling down.

KP will stay because it's in his BEST interests and NOTHING has been so bad to warrant KP sacrificing Millions that he can make by signing an Extension and subsequent contracts in NY! Phil is about to be the only Knicks GM to have a roster built with 2 top 10 Knicks Draft Picks! We haven't seen this from any Knicks GM in recent history.

This will be a much better team minus Players that don't buy in or give Max Effort. KP will see this as will everyone else. Including you

“The only thing he wants is for the Knicks to create an environment where he can develop and grow as a player and win.”

So why does he feel this way? What is the environment really like behind the curtain? Posters can blame the vets but I think it is way deeper than the vets.

We haven't seen it partially because no other gm has had a record like this since the 80's. But the Knicks did have Hill and Gallo during the Walsh era. Also, the Knicks have not been allowed to trade a 1st round pick because of the cba.

You know that Phil has been adding picks and his stated goal was to protect the future of the franchise! KP was going strong before he injured himself so I disagree with the notion that somehow the Knicks haven't developed him. He was on pace for a breakout year!

WTH does KP know about player development? If he knew it all he wouldn't be looking to get with Dirk. Let's stop giving so much credence to the opinions of a 21 yr old as if he knows what's best for his career. Phil has guided so many players to success so I would say he knows much more. In fact the players like Rose, Melo n BJ are simply wrong in the head. They assumed to know more than Phil and the coaching staff. WTH did any of those players achieve to be so presumptuous? Why are you giving them so much respect? SMDH!

Phil has added 2 second round picks and he traded one. Being critical of Phil is not the same as giving the players respect. Also, KP is far from a malcontent. KP isnt coming back from Latvia this offseason to be developed or attend triangle workshops Phil isn't the coach and he hasn't been a good president to date. Nothing he has said or done recently gives me any hope that he is going to improve at his craft. His stated goal is to mentor more.

KP will learn that Phil is trying to help him get to the next level. KP said he WANTS to run Triangle!!!

Phil, Jeff and Rambis work together and are in sync so that's a good thing. The whole Front Office seems to be in lock step and working well together.

You are paying too much attention to the BS and totally missing the legit things going on with the team. The Melo thing will be resolved one way or another. KP is gonna still be a Knick. There are no other serious issues. Stop buying into the negative. Let's hope for a successful offseason and a season minus DRAMA! We can get back to just basketball.

So he goes and does pretty much what rose does? Hypocrisy!

There doesn't seem to be any disconnect between Phil, Mills, JH. They pretty much explained what happen this season. The "dysfunction" came from them trying to figure out how to adjust JHs modern triangle with Rose, Jennings & Melo's games. They tried different things to find solutions to these answers thus causing "dysfunction". JH is not at the stage of his career where he can demand players like Rose and Melo conform to his will or to die on his shield. So he tried different angles to try and make it work. Nothing worked because Rose and Melo played for themselves and were getting a pass doing it while Phil and JH took all the heat.
