The Knicks still want to trade Melo according to Wojo. Are you asking what finally caused Dolan to fire Phil?
We need BOTH phil and melo to be gone to be honest. Need a fresh start with KP
Phil left the team in a rebuilding mode and that benefits KP whether he appreciated it or not. Melo is still 10+ yrs older than the young core of the team. KP is STILL gonna have to learn how to lead and get it done without Melo. Basically nothing changed except Phil's no longer a target for Media and Fan Attack. They got their sacrifice and now the Blood Lust is over but Phil's still left his imprint on the franchise.
I'm not bashing Phil. I like that he didn't give up our future draft picks. However I understand why he was fire. However I also think melo needs to be gone. We have given a lot to this guy and he just hasn't worked out here. I don't want to see ISO for the next two years instead of developing our future(KP Willy and Frank)
