Knicks · Phil's press conference (page 2)

GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:00 PM
Saying nice things about Melo, and carrying load for the team. Cant regret contract even though it hasnt worked well.
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:01 PM
Talking about Rose and being one of the best at getting in the paint.
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:02 PM
Phil saying Rose expressing how much he likes being in NY.
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:03 PM
Asking about his comment about Melo holding the ball. Reached out to Melo, he said he talked about it in his contract signing. (Melo says otherwise)
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:04 PM
Repeats that he went to Melo in spite of Melo said he was waiting on Phil to talk to him.

Credit to Phil for owning this. Think it would have meant a lot more if he did it earlier. But I think part of why he didn't is that he was trying to drive Melo to leave. Eh.


Anyway, watching on FB now. The little angry faces flying across the bottom of the screen as people on FB react are kinda hilarious.

I hope we're not just replacing Melo's $25 mil a year with Rose on a max or near max contract. That's even worse.

GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:06 PM
Talking about KP and his injuries. Talking about wanting to win now and rebuild at the same time.. Said they were competitive but couldnt win.
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:07 PM
Says Mills and ? doing the paperwork for the organization. Left them alone to work, has to do more on target mentoring of execs.
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:09 PM
Says 90 percent of the coaching sessions, meetings is about D.

I hear ya.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about bringing back Rose.

I don't know if we can get a guy like Jrue Holiday, Teague, or George Hill in FA though.

i doubt it. Phil just said he liked his driving to the hoop but also said he isnt a leader on the court as a point guard
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:11 PM
Talking about how defense is an important issue, recommending full court pressure, his own experiences, and will talk about it.

to be fair he was right..melo just doesnt fit here. Its not Melos fault its just how it is
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:13 PM
Asked about the diff between being an exec and a coach. Realizes the effect of what he says can have an impact. Says he is giving up tweeting, gives barkley credit for telling him to stop.
StarksEwing1 @ 4/14/2017 3:14 PM
Phil said the young guys played hard and didnt stand around
GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:15 PM
Emphasis for next season, playing hard like the last 5 games, ball movement.
crzymdups @ 4/14/2017 3:16 PM
I wonder if Courtney Lee will ask to be traded, too.

GustavBahler @ 4/14/2017 3:16 PM
Talked about defense making its mark next season. Still doesnt regret Melo deal.
crzymdups @ 4/14/2017 3:18 PM
I agree with this -
