He's under contract for 2 more years... you guys gotta get the drama out of your head. It doesn't have to be a novela episode for everything

How is that drama? I think Dolan played it the same with Isiah - where he had to coach, and then when things didn't go well, he was out.

I think Dolan can let Phil go with 1 year left, and be able to say - he let Phil try, gave him plenty of rope, but while there has been progress, not as much as they need.

The thing is once you trade Melo the clock resets as you move into the KP ERA along with your new Draft Picks. Expectations change. Phil will not be fired and could end up with an extension.
