| So what are the reservations? Bleacher Report reports that Kerr would prefer to stay closer to family on the West Coast: Kerr is eyeing several potential openings around the league, according to sources, and he would prefer to stay on (or near) the West Coast. Kerr lives in San Diego, and he has a daughter attending college at Cal, in Berkeley. Contrary to a New York Post report, Kerr has not asked TNT for schedule flexibility in order to take the Knicks job, according to two sources with Turner Sports. (Disclosure: Turner also owns Bleacher Report.) via What's Next in Phil Jackson's Knicks Housecleaning, and Who Might New Coach Be? | Bleacher Report. The New York Daily News reports that Kerr is aware of how toxic the Knicks' situation is and has some concerns about it: What concerns Kerr, according to a source, is whether he can be successful at Madison Square Garden, a place that has destroyed careers and ruined reputations under Garden chairman James Dolan. What Kerr wants to know is why a franchise with so many resources has won just one playoff series in 14 years and why so many before him, including Hall of Fame coaches Lenny Wilkens and Larry Brown, have failed. “Steve will not jump into this without knowing exactly what he is getting himself into,” said a person close to Kerr, the former Suns GM who is now a broadcaster for Turner Sports. “He'll talk to the right people. If this is the job for him, he'll do his research.” via Source: Steve Kerr interested in Knicks job, but wary of Garden culture - NY Daily News. I would still say the trends lean towards Kerr still taking the job. Beggars can't be choosers and Kerr has been indicating in media appearances the past two months that he's ready to begin coaching. The Knicks will offer him a lot of money, he has the trust and protection of the president of basketball operations in Jackson, and he won't be starving for star talent even if Carmelo Anthony leaves in free agency. The move should happen pretty quickly, but we'll have to keep an eye on any other opportunities that were to come available. |
Well yeah, that concerns all of us.
I wouldnt be surprised if Kerr wants to be on the west coast...but the concerns over a toxic situation just doesnt make sense since Phil is here to clean all of that up so what would be his concern?...He is coming here because Phil is in charge...
I am sure he is weighing his options but again Isola saying the situation is toxic and wont be fixed is just his wishful thinking and being negative constantly..
I think Kerr is going to take Phil's opinion though more than Marv in my opinion
Oh i agree he is going to weigh his options absolutely...he would be stupid not to
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. It's called negotiating.
