New CBA allowing for 6 year max contracts. This has disaster written all over it
Only the Knicks and Heat asked for an amnesty clause
He truly enjoys living in New York.
He truly is committed to the Knicks.
So midway through his five-year contract as Knicks president, Phil Jackson isn't expected to go anywhere.
As much as Jackson's late-in-life return to his original franchise has been questioned from every angle, he has found a level of comfort with his new job and environs.
Jackson fully intends to finish the two years after this season on his Knicks contract, according to NBA sources. Despite all the attention on his opt-out clause in 2017, he might even want to do a new deal that starts in 2019.
Jackson's competitive fire is fully aflame now that the Knicks are on the upswing—they are 14-11 and have won 11 of their past 16 games entering Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors—but it's more than just feeling better about his work.
Jackson has settled into life away from Los Angeles and fiancee Jeanie Buss, exploring the varied non-basketball interests to which New York caters. Jackson is connecting over lively card games or stimulating dinner conversations with friends who knew him before he was famous, feeling the energy of the city.
6 year max contract. That's over half the length of the average nba career. What.
Durant asked why he didn't join the Knicks, despite Melo's recruiting: "Uh, because I didn't want to."
just cut him. idc if we're still paying him. i just don't want him to play.
It's going to be impossible to get anything back for Noah. He's untouchable with that contract.
Keep him for two more years after this because he is still an amazing teammate/culture guy and will help KP but they should Josh Smith him the last year of his contract.
