Kudos to Phil for not compounding the problems from the bad Tyson trade!
I'll give you credit for trying hard to find something to praise Phil for

if next year is as bad as this year... I will be clamoring for the firing squad. He will have proven himself to be someone that is just cashing paychecks... I am willing to trust him until that point though

Trust has to be earned but I am willing to wait and see.

Michael Adams - he was a little dude I really liked a lot.

Shane larkin is no Michael Adams.

The sooner he out of here, the better.

Sometimes you guys talk about him as if he is a significant other. It doesn't really matter if he is trusted or not, as we are not decision makers, we all have to wait and see what happens. I choose to enjoy the rebuild/reload (whatever you want to call it) journey as opposed to staying afloat on a mediocre level as it really has been rely done in NY.

As far as next year is concerned, I anticipate an improvement but not to the point of contention. For me it's about wanting him to start to build a solid foundation for years to come. Not sure what would constitute wanting Phil fired.

Of course, nothing we write here really matters.
If Phil gives us something to be excited about, I'll enjoy it.

which should make it really enticing for FA's, no?

Im close to this also... although I do expect the team to much improved, at the very least from a talent standpoint. I expect a good player from the draft, a healthy Melo and $25mm or whatever the cap space is to yield a better team. We have some young guys and some will stick and others wont. But Phil has taken some lumps so I expect some results next.

I dont have a line... like anything less than 35 wins and Phil should go. Its fluid... many different scenarios can play out or almost play out.

One thing is for sure though.. with the high pick and tons of cap space we should start getting a vision of the team he wants to create. We should also get some vision into what kind of recruiter he is. Apparently he/they expect Melo to be a big saleman for them so I have no idea how that plays out.

yeah ... I predict that he will play in the NBA for many years.

Also, he will be a billion times better in a PnR offense. The triangle is a terrible offense for his (and many many others)

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Why? His mid range jumper is not very good. He take half his shots from 16+ and doesnt hit a very good %

He's a likable player and kid. He plays very hard, but he cant finish around the basket, his shooting isnt very good so half of his physical gifts (and the guys fast as a flea) are negated. He will have some good moments but I dont see the staying power in this league. He will have to show something offesively he hasnt shown so far.

Other than Schveyd-- although highly promising still needed developmental time is our PG next year?

Right now we have more holes than the Titanic

Really just here cashing a paycheck??? Sounds like splats crap. You might say Phil isn't doing a good job but do you really think Phil doesn't care about this job or his reputation? We don't know Phil personally but everything you ever read about Phil is his integrity , work ethic and his credibility. Attack him professionally don't attack him personally.

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

if you look at all the words that I typed, you will see that I trust his plan, as of right now. If next year plays out as poorly as next year then I think it is more than fair to judge him on a complete lack of production. Let's be real -- this year was a ****ing joke. I have faith that this was by design in order to get a great pick in a loaded draft... but that doesn't change the fact that this year was a joke and it would take an insanely great offseason to have a good-to-great year next year.

I don't buy that. They blew the team up and didn't ask for much in return. I think Phil got folks like you to buy the propaganda so that Jimmy D could sell his tickets and the Knicks could get a decent pick in a loaded draft. Maybe I'm wrong but I am not someone that believe what they print in Newsday

this is not from Newsday. This is from Phils mouth.

C'mon man ... its obvious that the season did not start with the intention to tank. Nobody thinks that.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

He even said that his trades last off-season backfired. Or was pretending that this year didn't go as planned just part of the plan too?
