Knicks: Here We Go?

So, the Thunder have just been eliminated by the fundamentally sound Spurs, so this guy is now available to coach the Knicks.  Or at least to meet with Phil Jackson about the gig.  He does know the triangle and must have something special about him to have lasted as far as he has and won as many rings as he has in the league.   So maybe we'll hear that Derek Fisher is the new Knicks coach in the next few days or so.    Let's hope it doesn't drag on much longer.   If he wants to do it, it will be interesting to see who has the better coaching career going forward, Fisher or Kerr?  Kerr will be starting out with a much better roster...

All right, yeah, I get the confusion issue, so off the anon gig.

A really good article my Marc Berman of all people on Melo.

It's a tough decision for both sides. Phil knows without Melo, rebuilding will take longer, and with the incredibly stupid move to trade a non-protected first for f'in Bargnani in 2016 (seriously, how does Grunwald tie his own shoes), and that he also traded 2nd round picks until 40 year olds will be eligible for Social Security, it will be that much harder.


OTOH, Melo is 30, has been in the league since 2003, has issues with both shoulders, so his body is at risk of breaking down.

So both parties have a difficult risk/reward calculus.
