Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[the 718 truth]

I would like for Melo to leave just to punish the Knicks organization. Imagine if the Knicks had an actual competent owner like R.C. Buford, this would never happen. I mention R.C. Buford because I'm from Texas and I have seen how that organization handles it stars, past and present. With the exception of Captain Jack, all of those players are still revered as if they're still on the damn court.

**** LeBron.

Knicks have a opt out clause with Phil after this season. He's gone after this year

Why are you still pretending our owner isn't James Dolan? Why?

Dave Checketts bailed Oakley out

 

[floodarea]

I've never wanted the Knicks to fail as much as I do now

Poor Melo man. Sucks that he's the superstar that has to deal with all this ish

And WTF must KP be thinking about all this and the organization right now?

So has the president of the team made a statement yet or is he too busy taking unnecessary jabs at the star player?

Honestly fam, anything coming from the org in regard to this is basically from him, how else would you explain the character assassination.

 

[ballinsam23]

Crazy how Oak got bailed out by a former Knicks president.

If you think Melo is the problem you ain't fan enough

You're an authority on fandom? FOH b

 

[pr0phecy718]

Edit: nvm that was Grundfeld

But Checketts got fired by Dolan [emoji]129300[/emoji]

 

[njavier03]

he's right though. if you really honestly think, without any bias, that Melo is the reason for all of this, then you have no knowledge about this franchise whatsoever. watching 1 game a week does not make a real fan. basing your opinions on what these fools on ESPN or TNT say, doesn't make you an expert. if you don't even understand the struggles of this franchise past, present, and internally, you can't really be that invested as a "fan" /rant

I'm so happy this happened. Right after I was done talking about Dolan being the real problem.

Phil is here on a contract. He'll eventually be gone one way or the other.

The owner is here until he wants to sell or dies.

So happy Dolan exposed himself again and got the spotlight solely on him when he's been quiet for years now.

Things are only going to really change when we have new ownership.

i wish dolan would've been this hands off with walsh.

Walsh had no reassuring plan to make Dolan back off after he didn't get LeBron and had to settle for STAT.

W/e Phil told him has had Dolan silent for years. Probably the only other impressive thing he's done since he's been here.

Not tryna get you sensitive fam.

Just pointing out that if you really think Melo is one of our biggest problems you clearly ain't watching the games or paying attention to the team too much

 

[ny mavurs]

Only thing Melo did wrong was choosing to stay with this team

 

[kingfoamnyc]

**** LeBron.
Why are you still pretending our owner isn't James Dolan? Why?

Why are you acting like Dolan being a awful owner completely absolves Phil being absolute dog **** since he's being appointed GM. Your arms don't get tired of pushing goal post all day ? Both of these dudes are TRASH but unfortunately only one will be fired or let go. Dolan ain't going nowhere so *****ing about him is pointless

The thing is I never said that not to mention I said Dolan in that op. How you could say I'm only blaming Melo is beyond me.

I've been hearing about Oakley slap-a-thon stories all day. I love how everyone acknowledges him slapping Barkley at the players meeting, but don't want to talk about it 

. Dolan is foul man. If you despise him, as much as you can, don't have optimum as a service. Dolan is ridiculously stupid owner.

 

[beh235]

 

 

@ReggieMillerTNT: If you're a FA to be, why would you play for an Owner who treats the past greats like this or a President who stabs star player in the back?

Things have gotten so bad that I agree with Reggie Miller.

No pun intended

Damn this is terrible...when I agree with Reggie, it's a sad day to be a Knicks fan

To think, Reggie was going to sign until he found out they threw the money at Allan Houston

 

[macbk]

What if Oakley did this to force Melo's hand to leave, thus saving him from the mess? Or to force his hand, thus helping Phil because Melo would want out?

The Knicks have been the most despicable franchise in sports for more than 60% of my life. I need to get my **** together

What does that have to do with you saying Phil is gone after this season cuz his contract has an opt out?

You're pretending like Dolan is going to let him go Why?

Your arms don't get tired of pushing goal post all day ?

What goal posts are these?

Both of these dudes are TRASH but unfortunately only one will be fired or let go. Dolan ain't going nowhere so *****ing about him is pointless

You lost b.

This is why we're gonna continue to suck.

You already given up.

The boycott on Dolan needs to start. Saying it's pointless is just wanting the Knicks to remain ****.

You actually fooling yourself thinking the next guy is gonna get a hands off Dolan

I'm pushing goal posts but this just more delusional Knicks fan nonsense. Its like you'll never be tired of doing this; Layden, Thomas, Walsh, Phil, the next guy. 3× as many coaches.

If Knicks fans were really dedicated and really fed up of being a sorry franchise we'd run Dolan out of town literally.

But you in ya wash, rinse, repeat cycle. This'll die down and by the deadline yall be back on the same bull ****.

What if Oakley did this to force Melo's hand to leave, thus saving him from the mess? Or to force his hand, thus helping Phil because Melo would want out?

#OakleyGate

Oak getting arrested gets Melo to waive his ntc?
