Remember when Phil was on vacation earlier this year? And he told us to embrace the serpent? Maybe that just meant what it sounded like - "suck my d***ck"

Can't wait to see where Phil vacations next!

He owns a home in Montana. They have phones, computers and jet service if need be. Do you need a tracking device and a "phil cam" so you can see what he does or is not?
Do you think that some how the knicks are in a state of emergency and he should be in MSG to orchestrate a round the clock coaching operation?

I am fascinated by the presumptive behavior you depict Phil to be disengaged with. Since Rambis is not your apparent choice, you are making assumptions based on Media stories and filling in the gaps as if you have some knowledge about Phil, what he is doing, what he is thinking and who he talks to.

With all that your connecting the dots as "Negligence".

Find me a single voice anywhere who thinks hiring Rambis is a good idea?

Here are the top results for a twitter search of "Rambis":

dude, seriously, take Phil off your twitter feed, you are getting over anxious and exasperated by it.

I'm not exasperated. I'm sorry if I am being annoying.

Though I actually think that Phil's vacation may be to come to terms with the fact that he can't possibly hire Rambis as coach of the team.

I guess we'll see. I'm gonna take a break until the coach is named. Or try to at least.

Dude - I am kinda on board with your line of thinking.

But, I'm wondering if his vacay is really about him mulling a return to the bench?

His tweet about the last stand - maybe it means nothing. But this is definitely his last stand, likely, as a exec with professional sports.

Maybe he is giving serious thought to stepping down?

I wondered that, too. He certainly looked completely exhausted in that photo. I do think he probably got a lot of pushback from Dolan and Mills and Melo about the idea of hiring Rambis. I guess we will see eventually.

Phil looked 800 years old and I have to imagine that even though he has time left on his contract, decisions now being made (e.g., coach) may have a horizon that outlasts his plans to remain around.

Same. I think his original plan was to install Rambis and have the Triangle be his legacy in NY... but things don't always work out like you intend. I don't think Dolan, Mills, Melo are on board with Rambis and all three of those guys will be in NY longer than Phil.

Throughout the year I've stood by his plain words of "I will not return to the bench" and fairly solidly thought this would be etched in stone. But I've been rethinking that of late, and perhaps the 2 day coaching session was a test of sorts for Phil. It was also reported that he has lost a lot of weight, perhaps that is good mojo on his physical health?

There is no doubt that Phil needs to have a backup plan in place for his exit from the bench if this were the case. Is it after a few months? Training camp? Half season? Whole season? What are the repercussions of a team that doesn't do well? Can he leave a bench that is overachieving? And who is taking over? If he and Blatt hit it off, perhaps the prolonged lapse in time is he and Blatt working the nuances of this over.

OR. Or Phil could have found a most delicious delivery from Colorado that he's burning through.

That last part is the only thing we can be certain of.

I did wonder if the 2 day triangle thing, coupled with the weight loss was a chance for him to try himself out and see if he's up to coaching. It would also explain the timing of his vacation- going away for a week just to ponder if he's making the right decision.

Personally I don't really see the point- we're not close enough to competing to make it worthwhile.

Competing? Competing for what? Championship, definitely not. Playoffs? I can see playoffs. Even Fish, who played Lou Amundson minutes for some reason, had a learning KP, post-surgery Melo still figuring legs out, rehabbing AA after missing first 8 games, Rolo who was put in a position of actually being included in offense, Jose who was coming off of previous year injury.. even after all of that, the team was 22-22 in January. It was no doubt a East coast heavy opponent list but still, .500 is almost good enough for playoffs in the East.

But, is the goal of Phil coaching the playoffs? Or is it to set the team straight, get a new coach up to snuff, win games and then attract free agents in 2017?

If that's the end goal, with the extra benefit of having him as coach and attracting 1 or 2 guards in the offseason, well the possibilities of next year's FA class become more attractive for the Knicks, and then Phil's goals are complete.
