he is an option because his contract is not yet resolved
I love him as a coach! look at the record of the bulls with rose out
well, I want Mike Woodson unless Thibideau is is actually open come next year
What, no Herb Williams option???
I would choose MDA if you put him on list.
Phil is a Knick.
Was one before he was the leader of the Bulls.
Phil is the ultimate Starphuch coach.
Not worried about him being "too old" because he is not a player. He is the coach.
Not worried about him staying too long, because he won't. When he is cooked, he'll leave.
Thibs Will get extended with a nice raise.
Phil will be intrigued. Its a long shot.
I don't get the Sloan angle. They guy is older than PHil and can be a bit of a dick. He had a great relationship with his owner which makes for a great run. Had the Layden family (frank and Scotty) and a good culture behind him.
Here is not like that. We have a culture of taking good management talent and undermining them.
I voted Mike Woodson. I would find it very hard to root for Phil Jackson.
They won't spend the dollar to get Phil. Woodson is the pick.
I give it to Woodson, unless he turns it down, or Phil somehow gets full roster control and input too, which I doubt.

"Spend the money"?
Its what we do best!
You are correct the best thing the Knicks do is throw away money. Phil Jackson is not coming here. Not even a chance. No daughter to offer and no control (see Dolan/Zeke deal for Melo)
Mike Woodson gets a lot of love around here. So much love that people are turning down a proven coach with 10 rings to his name.

I could be a proven coach if I had some of the best players to have ever played the game on my team. The Knicks don't have that situation.
Jax... Lets see what happens when Melo doesnt buy into the triangle

YOu don't win without the players.
Look at all the teams that lost in the finals over the years.
They had great players also.
Some good coaches, but they don't have 11 rings in 20 years.
In fact, you have Phil Jax with 11. Red Auerbah with 9, then Riles with 5 (in 24 seasons).......
Look at this list:

You don't win with just great players, but you sure as hell don't even get a sniff if you don't!
Once again, Michael Jordan did not win until his 7th season. Kobe was a punk kid scorer before Phil got into his head.
PHil has a proven track record of making his players better under his guidence.
That is proven.
That is why you get on your horse to Montana with black check and let him fill it out. 3 years 45 million and give him the GM title now and for as long as he wants it.
If your going to starphuch might as well go all in.
Nothing against Woodson BTW.
Now would be a good time to bring up this tweet from Frank Isola:

You know what helps Mike Woodson keep the Knicks job? Win a playoff game and his relationship with, drum roll please, Isiah Thomas

hmmm.... let me guess what we'll hear:
"the game has passed him (jax) by..."
"he's (jax) too stubborn..."

You would get tuned out the second you step on the floor. You don't command the respect of the players. None of Jackson's best players won anything before He got there. Even MJ was seen as a selfish player before Phil made him into an all around player and one of greatest winners to play the game. You don't think Phil can't work with Melo? He will put Melo in Kobe's category easily.

I wouldn't say that I don't think Phil can't work with Melo.
