Derek Fisher's basketball resume is a pretty good one, so good in fact that the aforementioned Jackson has reportedly expressed interest in perhaps hiring him to be the Knicks' next head coach.
Knicks President Phil Jackson, who whiffed in his pursuit of Steve Kerr, is "open" to talking to Mark Jackson about the organization's head-coaching vacancy, according to a report.
If Phil Jackson interviewed him, perhaps Mark Jackson would promise to make changes. If he did, maybe it could work. But for the Knicks, that's a bet they cannot afford to make.
This could get interesting. The Knicks have long been linked to Love, and Phil Jackson is already "plotting" how to get him to Madison Square Garden, the Post reported.
"Well, I told him it never ends well there," Albert told Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News. "Just look at recent history. It's because of one man (Dolan). There is no happiness there."
Raymond Felton once said he was "better than any point guard." Well, he wasn't all that great in 2013-14, and apparently Knicks president Phil Jackson isn't interested in seeing if he'll bounce back.
What, you thought this was going to be easy? C'mon, it's the Knicks!
These are some of the most overrated performers we've ever seen, and they should probably pay back all the money they've earned and go work at a Walgreens or something.
Derek Fisher is still playing basketball. But if the Knicks have their way he'll be coaching them very soon.
On Wednesday, Kerr agreed to become the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. The news didn't sit well with WFAN co-host Joe Benigno.
This strikes a blow to everyone in the organization, from Jackson to Jim Dolan to Carmelo Anthony, who must be appalled by the notion that the most visible non-player in the NBA can't even get his own acolyte to coach for him.
The Knicks managed to convince Phil Jackson to move east. Jackson couldn't do the same with Steve Kerr, who spurned NY on Wednesday to stay closer to home with the Warriors.
As the Steve Kerr negotiations dragged on longer and longer, it became more and more clear that something wasn't right. It was truly an "I've got a bad feeling about this" situation.
The Warriors won the bidding war with the Knicks for Steve Kerr on Wednesday, hiring him away from the TNT broadcast table to be their coach.
Despite Masahiro Tanaka's Subway Series brilliance and the Nets' season coming to an unceremonious conclusion, it was the Knicks who made it to the top of the Boomer & Carton rundown.
