Quite a few veterans.
Have to disagree. Every year with Phil was an entire roster reset and he had 3 coaches in 3 years not counting the only guy that had a winning record that he canned when he got the job. Phil mastered the accidental tank. This management team brought back Tim, and has targeted players 25 and under. Just listened to a Begley podcast where he said he thought Jeff lost the locker room last year because Phil made him switch to the triangle last Feb. That stuff isn't happening anymore. We haven't heard of any players that management is done with and moves on from either in a horrible trade or for nothing. Even the Noah situation is being handled better in my opinion and that is on Phil because the contract is so bad for a guy that should be a league minimum player at this point.
JH should go back to the triangle because his offense is atrocious. The Knicks are taking a lot of bad shots. To many shots with a hand in the face. Forced shots. There is a lack of player movement in majority of the sets. With a fall back of Kanter or KP in a post position with no where to go especially for KP since his post up is near the three point line.
People here really didn’t understand Phil and they fell for the ESPN story line and BS. Phil didn’t care for playoffs he wanted a team that would compete for a chip because that is all he knew. Making playoffs is easy.
Yeah. Entire roster resets every year where you only keep Sasha, Lance, KOQ, Melo and KP seems like the road to a championship? If things are on Phil's time line, why is Jeff even employed by the Knicks? The only keepers that fit his strange character, compliant team guy requirements are Baker, Frank and Lance. KP might have been moved. Lee is probably gone with an asset to move his deal. No Tim or Burke.
I don't watch espn except for live sports. I do listen to Begley and others on podcasts. What was espn's narrative on Phil?
