Looks like Kurt Rambis will be the latest victim to fall on the sword. Sometimes you just have to look at the common denominator in things. Only a coach like Thibs would stand up to his tyranny.

Rambis is about closing the season out the right way for the Triangle, the offense, KP in particular. As we saw last night, KP was right away yanked out when he was not posting up or playing good man defense. Rambis will put the onus on KP to have better shot selection and to play better man defense. He will also run the offense consistently. I don't think he'll be back next season as head coach, unless the team wins more than half of their games with his as the head coach. I think they'll either bring in Walton or Shaw as the next head coach with Rambis returning as the associate HC.

So it's not about Melo - Melo from what I've seen only got D'Antoni fired. But others didn't like D'Antoni on the team as well. Seems D'Antoni even had the same problems when he coached Kobe, Dwight, Pau on the Lakers.

Who is the oldest tenured highest paid player on the Knicks again who happens to the franchise player and "face" of the Knicks (until Kristaps next season)?

Thought so.

Dude's just here to cash a check, make friends, build his brand, and axe some coaches along the way. Give him a break!

I have to ask if you even watch games or not cuz this thread seems to indicate that you don't watch games!!! This team would have won last night and many other games IF WE HAD BETTER GUARDS!!! MELO is the least of our problems right now. This kind of thread is just not helpful or current.

Melo had two coaches before he came to the Knicks - Boeheim in Syracuse and Karl in Denver. Boeheim loves him. Karl had his issues with Melo, but has spoken extremely highly of him. Karl has had plenty of issues with other players too, see Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Glenn Robinson, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, DeMarcus Cousins, Rajon Rondo, etc.
