Phil kept our draft picks! That definition qualifies like 98% of the league's GMs as successful.

Like you had out so good as a Knicks fan. 15 years yet you want Phil to do what Layden, Isiah, Walsh, Grunwald couldn't do. I have 2 main problems with Phil which in my opinion warrant firing him. First, he has misjudged talent and our roster horribly. Phil Jackson says the #Knicks' free agents, "in addition to our rookies ... will make for a very competitive team this coming year."
He made big moves last summer to compete - trading Noah for Derrick Rose, signing Noah & Lee to big money. Results? Are we keeping Rose? Will Noah play in as many games in his 4 years with us as Lopez did last year with Chicago? I appreciate he did ok with Willy & KP, though credit may belong elsewhere. The fact is he has struggled to judge our roster, what he might be able to accomplish, and how to bring players in. Second, his insistence on running the triangle, force feeding it on our roster and Hornecek (yes, he knew it was expected, doesn't make it right) is stupid. I get he wants to build a culture, and a team based on playing a system vs. 1 on 1 moves. Fine. Let Jeff do his thing, and support him. Don't think Jeff is the guy, get someone else. His approach is wrong. His eye is wrong. If you want to argue that he had to burn through three years pretending to put a competitive team out there for Dolan's sake, for him to relent and allow a true rebuild - then Phil shouldn't have taken the job. And I don't believe you. Not trading first round picks is not an accomplishment. My dog could have done that. |

Phil isn't the future though. He will be gone in 2 summers.
