Knicks: Jax Hopes Carmelo Will Stay for Less

Phil spoke again today.   The biggest news was that he and Carmelo had talked about Carmelo staying for less so that Phil could build around him.   Other stars with rings have done it, and Action Jackson said that's the only way he could keep Melo.  And he said the Knicks would go forward either way.

He also said picking the coach could take some time and that he's looking for a leader.    Further he said he was still filling out the front office and acknowledged the hiring of Gaines.    Personally I thought they'd name a coach quickly. But, since they don't have any games on the horizon, this is fine.  Ron Harper is coming in to meet about a coaching position -- and man was that guy great before he blew out his knee.

How refreshing is Phil's openness?

If they had a pick in 2016 I wouldn't mind if they let Melo walk; he has been in the NBA for ten years and has two suspect shoulders. It's amazing that Grunwald burned that pick for less than nothing without even receiving lottery protection. And some people thought firing him was questionable.

I have a feeling Jackson will find a pick or two for this draft.
