But the idea that it's a smokescreen is not something the Daily News invented - lots of people talking about how Phil is just doing it to appease Mills or Dolan. I think either could be true. If I had to give it odds, I'd say Rambis is 70%, Blatt is 29%, 1% it's someone else.
A close friend of Mills, Blatt still appears a long shot to front-running interim coach Kurt Rambis, but the prevailing notion it was just a courtesy chat to appease Mills is untrue. http://nypost.com/2016/04/27/david-blatt-had-knicks-shot-with-phil-jackson-interview/
One thing to consider - when Phil hired Rambis in LA, it was to be his DEFENSIVE coach. If Phil wants to make the Triangle effective, maybe he should consider hiring an offensive mastermind like Blatt? I would have no problem keeping Rambis on for defense. But something about Blatt running the Triangle and maybe updating a bit seems very promising to me. ¿ △ ?

Their job is to sell papers. But the idea that Isola and Berman don't have some sources in MSG is kinda absurd. They're inside that building several times a week and follow the team around and go to practices. Sure, the team puts out info that they want in the press - Berman seems more guilty of this than others. But Isola and Berman definitely have legit sources. Isola was tight with Thibs and got a ton of info from him when Thibs was on staff, hence Dolan's hatred of Thibs and part of the reason for Dolan's media policy. I don't believe they are making up stuff. I think they are trying to read the tea leaves at times, but I think they are having real conversations. The main time I ignore their reporting is around free agency and trade deadlines - because then I think they pick up any whisp of a rumor and run with it. But when Berman reports "Knicks are interested in Jeff Teague" and then the Knicks don't GET Jeff Teague... I don't think that means Berman made it up. I think it more likely means Knicks were interested in Teague and couldn't get him. ¿ △ ?

It's never one source. It's very very difficult to keep things totally underwraps. I work in a media company and we all almost always know what is going down at the highest levels of the company, one way or another. We were moving buildings a few years ago and they were trying to keep the potential locations secret. The secretaries knew all the potential addresses though, because they called the car services for the executives to visit the spots. Ditto when we acquired another company - a lot of lower level employees knew about it almost a year in advance because of small little things like financial info requests. It is hard to keep info under wraps at a big company. And MSG is certainly a big company. ¿ △ ?
