Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[harlemtothebronx]

Get Phil the **** outta here, man.

 

[goldenchild9]

it can't hurt to test the waters

Keep souring an already disgruntled young superstar?

Why?

I thought we were rebuilding around him? What the hell is going on with this franchise? :x

 

[don ramon]

phil is an old, self-centered has been who still believes he's beyond reproach or criticism

eff that guy

 

[don ramon]

jackarse still hurt that kp didn't give him an exit interview

 

[you go boy]

phil is really clueless if he trades porzingis

 

[don ramon]

phil jackson is part of the old guard in the nba

old guard needs to be overthrown

He won't be traded.

But say Boston called offering the 3rd pick this year, the Nets pick next year, another 1st, & Bradley/Smart, you wouldn't at least consider it?

Bro, you know there is absolutely 0 chance of this happening.

There's a reason you don't hear KAT or Embiid's name being tossed around in trade rumors. No competent front office would do that to a young franchise player. This is not how you give a young player confidence in their situation or instill a culture of stability. Same thing he did to Melo.

This is ridiculous.

I'm not totally upset bout that

 

[the 718 truth]

This organization makes me literally sick to my stomach

 

[shotsrangout]

lol at trading porzingis

i would burn all my knicks gear.. I would become a proud brooklyn nets fan

 

[Chester McFloppy]

We all remember how young nick. reacted to Zing being drafted

So it's no surprise he's willing to test the waters

 

[8pm at msg]

He isn't going anywhere, just assessing his value.

If we suck years from now (and we probably will) they gonna be shipping him out anyways right....

 

[don ramon]

perhaps, but what good does it do to even put that out there?

you put your star player in the crosshairs and send out the wrong message contributing to the knicks' reputation of being a failed franchise 

 

[goldenchild9]

Assessing his value for what? If you're not trading him, what are you trying to see?

He's the only piece we have and one of the most unique players the league has ever seen.

What good can come out of this?

Our players are already disillusioned and players/execs around the league view our front office as a joke.

How does this help in any way?

Team: 'Hey, what do you think about __ for Porzingis'
Phil: 'No thanks'

Team to Woj: 'We spoke to Phil about a potential trade for Porzingis

Upside of the Knicks trading KP would be that fans would legitimately burn down the Garden and then they'd actually fix Penn Station.

 

[donewithjs]

We are a mess!!!

We haven't been in touch with KP since the season ended. Maybe he's tired of the circus already and they know there is a probability that he's bouncing during his free agency.

 

[art vandelay]

SHAMBLES. That is all.

 

[gaiiige]

what the **** did I wake up to

 

[gaiiige]

if we trade KP I'd be done as a Knicks fan and I'm 100% serious

 

[goldenchild9]

Team: 'Hey, what do you think about __ for Porzingis'
Phil: 'No thanks'

Team to Woj: 'We spoke to Phil about a potential trade for Porzingis

Yea but it's multiple teams contacting, which indicates he's open to offers.

If you shut down those inquires from the jump: "I'm not open to trading KP, we're building around him."...word would travel the same way, there would be no "frenzy", articles would read "KP, future Knicks cornerstone." and we wouldn't have this unnecessary media spectacle that constantly drains our players and makes us an undesirable team to play for.

 

[gaiiige]

ian begley said we're taking calls and listening to offers

It's real
