It might be everyone is correct.
Maybe Phil put it out that he wanted the job but with the premise that the roster be changed and Melo traded.
Thus, He was never asked.
Is it that important we assign blame? Who rejects who?
Nothing Phil said was out of line. We all have seen Melo and Amare with Tyson in the middle is "clumsy". does not mean it can't work with changes.
I would imagine Phil's triange is not condusive to our guys skill set and thus its not a good fit.
Yeah, I'd love Phil to come in and Starphuch the team but if both parties are not into it then its better we pass.
