but his hysteria when it comes to this is just ridiculous. He already decided exactly what package the knicks would get in return and already decided it's going to happen.
He's not getting traded unless the knicks get a kings ransom. Show me ONE thing that Phil Jackson has ever done that would tell you he's going to trade KP for a mediocre package?
Saying he deserves zero benefit of the doubt is just absurd.
I do not trust Phil Jackson.
1. Obsessed with Rambis being here despite it being clear the players don't like him, no evidence he is good at his job. Hornacek asks for a defensive specialist, they try and hire Longabardi (Hornaceks guy), they are unable to... and decide they don't need one.. only to in-season decide Kurt Rambis is the best choice.
2. Yet to see any indication he is willing to actually rebuild. Not his "fault" but so far we have heard interest in PJ Tucker, JJ Redick etc OLD players that will be expensive aka "no rebuild"
3. Doesn't seem to know what he wants to do. Triangle (weird feud with Derek Fisher over it), then modified triangle with a non-triangle coach, now "all-in" triangle
4. Feuds with Melo and KP
5. Trashes the style of play of the most successful teams in the NBA (suggesting he's over the hill)
6. Inarguably one of the greatest coaches in the history of professional sports BUT zero resume for building a roster
7. Noah's contract....
8. Reportedly takes Grant against the wishes of his scouts and then gives up on him after 1 season (I never cared for Grant and I'm not suggesting he's anything special but it does suggest his "plan" is all over the place)
9. Doesn't suspend Derrick Rose (Circus)
10. Reportedly has a deal for Rubio but insists on more for Rose (Admittedly depends on who you believe)
11. Has a personal mouthpiece who "speaks for him"
12. His rings were supposed to be a gamechanger, couldn't even secure a meeting with Durant and told LMA he wanted him to play out of position at C.
Bottom line, I don't trust him and he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me like Pat Riley etc would
It's times like this where I actually miss pre-Twitter sports reporting.
Twitter is at it's worst when it comes to injuries. A dude could down in training camp & people freak out, though we have no idea if it's major or not. Fifteen years we wouldn't even have known unless it was something big.
but please point to one thing that would lead you to believe he will trade KP for anything but a kings ransom. Nothing in there should make you believe that.

I think Dan's point is that he's been generally incompetent, so he is unreliable. Plus he may view KP as undermining him right now (speculation).

@Schultz_Report
League sources say Phil Jackson wants to dump Joakim Noah's contract as part of a #Porzingis trade. Unclear if it's a deal-breaker. #Knicks
no offense anak but this guy is a moron
