The thing about these two tweets - Phil obviously is too proud to talk to Thibs. But if Isola is right and Melo has more juice at MSG (and I think Isola is right), can't Melo demand Thibs get the job?

Just a thought.

Technically MELO is only strong in terms of dictating where he could be traded! The coach thing is different IMO. If MELO demands they sign Thibs what is his threat? That he'll ask for a trade?

Melo makes more money than Phil - the Knicks have a lot more invested in Melo's career than they in Phil's. If it comes down to brass tacks, I don't know that Dolan would support Phil over Melo.

It's interesting. We shall see. I can see a rift forming between Phil and Melo.

But I think Melo has more power at MSG. A lot more. For one thing, he's in the building a lot more.

Dolan may really like MELO but Phil gained major points for KP! That move was huge for the franchise. Phil is in the drivers seat at the deadline and in free agency. There are some major decisions Phil is gonna be making the rest of this year.

What major decisions? He already picked the coach. We have no draft pick and not many trade options - outside Melo, who he can't trade with Melo agreeing.

The big decisions will come this summer.

I was talking calendar year, not season! So I was including the summer of 2016 as well. That's why I didn't say the rest of this season.
