what I can tell you for sure is that your minutes will be erratic as hell, the triangle takes at least a yr or 2 to truly grasp, and in the first 3 month of the season, if i see guys are not getting it, i will fire fish, dump a player or 2 or 3 for cap space and a 2nd rounder for 2016, because we have no picks as it stand now. So what do say, sounds like good plan Uh?
His pitch is we'll pay you more than any other team
lol..like we did amare
Funny but utter nonsense. The Knicks are going to put together a very convincing argument for a Player and his Agent to come to NY and be part of the core of this rebuild. He'll of course have money, but also he can be very clear in showing a player his role by showing video of other great players he's coached in the same role. Very few coaches can be that specific in showing the level of success a player can have in his system and way of doing things. They won't have to strain belief cuz they know he's done it over and over again.Jackson took over a talented Lakers team and immediately produced results as he did in Chicago. In his first year in L.A., the Lakers went 67–15 during the regular season to top the league. Reaching the conference finals, they dispatched the Portland Trail Blazers in a tough seven-game series and then won the 2000 NBA championship by beating the Indiana Pacers.
Phil can't promise the same result he got with the Lakers in year one but he can say that they can have success in year one and even more in years to come. Any Free Agent won't ever have to worry about getting top dollar when they're a Knick. Paying Melo was a signal to any Free Agent that here in NY they won't be cheap when it comes time to pay. Agents are well aware of this and will steer their young FA's towards this market. Phil can sell them on teaming up with other young talents here. We'll have our Pick and money to add more than one Free Agent. That could lead to a possible 3 Studs plus Melo.
It's a pipe dream to think some video is going to convince gasol or aldridge to play here, phil is not the coach, and he has no interest in traveling or practicing with the team..
Fisher has already been branded a horrible coach with a cool demeanor that seems to except losses like it's all good. You don't lose close to 70 games and think your on anyone wish list. When you lose that many games, you lower your value as a head coach, players are not stupid, and they talk, just like melo ask Noah how was thibs as a coach.
The word "Rebuild" alone is enough to keep any decent vet far away from NY as possible. Paul Milsap, Monroe, mathews. Now if you have a championship coach or and elite coach, then maybe you can convince a player or two.
Remember melo didn't sign here because of phl or fisher, he signed here for the money and all the business opportunities he had going now, and in the future. You think he would have sign here for the money the bulls where giving him.
You left him off.
