Knicks · The Problem is when Phil Jax speaks everyone listen. How will that effect us trying to get players? What Phil want everyone want (page 1)

This can be a problem. Phil with all those rings when Phil look to go after a player even if he is a so so player all of a sudden the player is a superstar because Phil wants him. Then the bidding war begins. I see this as some players using us big time to get more money from other teams with no intentions of ever coming here. What do you think?

Do I win some sort of award? I notice that the majority of my threads attract a lot of posters so I must be doing something right. Oh yes Martin locked one of my threads the other day. Hey Martin give me a break LOL so I made a mistake. I apologize but I will be watching your posts LOL but I can't do anything to you so I guess I'll just deal with it.

Same can be said for Riley and Popovich. Every successful GM/President would have the same problem.

We had one instance where Kerr was percieved to be enhanced by Phils interest.

Teams throw out a long list of names when an opening happens.
