Phil seemed to get the credit for being a basketball guru when he had Michael or Kobe playing for him, but apparently Carmelo wasn't good enough for him to continue to get the benefit of the doubt. The game and the players have changed, but I'm not sure he did.

I think he's too set in his ways to be successful in the front office.

He holds on to the triangle offense as if it's the only way to play winning basketball. Not willing to adapt to the evolution of the NBA.

The Knicks have been a joke of an organization for a while now, but Phil set them back 5+ years with how he ran the team.

He will finally officially retire and travel the world. And the Knicks should blow it up (like the Bulls are) and start from scratch with Porzingiz as their cornerstone.

Hurts that Frank Ntilikina pick a small tad. But he is a solid prospect without the triangle

Bummer, thought he was doing a great job for the Knicks.

That franchise is a dumpster fire. Seems like they keep making bad hires or nobody knows how to dig them out of the hole they created for themselves.

Anyone who thinks Phil set the team back 5+ years, wasn't watching the previous 5+ years.
