Does Mark Jackson want the Knicks' head coaching job or not? Would it even matter if he did? Those are some legitimate questions considering the situation at Madison Square Garden.
James Dolan says he has an appreciation for just how difficult it is to build a championship team, which is why he hopes he has in Phil Jackson what he's had for years in Glen Sather -- someone who knows what he's doing.
I don't care about hockey. I might not even watch any of the games. But if the Rangers win the Cup, it would mean James Dolan is capable of being an owner of a championship team.
Jackson told reporters last week that Fisher is "on my list of guys that could be very good candidates" to coach the Knicks next season.
If I were Anthony, I wouldn't opt in either. That is legitimate life-changing generational money that simply cannot be put at risk.
"I'd love to go back to New York," Ewing said Sunday on CBS Sports Radio. "I'm not sure what is going to happen in terms of who they're going to have fill that void. But if I get a call, I'm ready."
The NHL and NBA finals are set, the Mets took two from the Phillies, the Yankees are struggling and Patrick Ewing wants to be the next head coach of the Knicks -- quite a bit to talk about.
If Derek Fisher was being true to his word after the Oklahoma City Thunder's season-ending loss Saturday night, he began contemplating the next move in his career Sunday.
On Thursday night the Rangers made us party like it's 1994. And if you were alive and lucid in New York City back then, you recall the magic murmuring up the streets, from Herald Square to Harlem.
Phil Jackson is either in over his head or in complete control as general manager of the Knicks. Which is it? Knowing the man, most likely the latter.

The Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves will play at the Mexico City Arena on Nov. 12. The Milwaukee Bucks will face New York at The O2 on Jan. 15.

The expansion team will be owned and operated by Madison Square Garden and will play its home games at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
Chosen 11th overall in the draft, Michael Carter-Williams was the only unanimous selection to the first team, which also includes Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke, Mason Plumlee and Tim Hardaway, Jr.
The reason the Knicks have been one of the least successful franchises in the NBA over the past 13 years is because they have ignored defense. That needs to stop immediately.
Derek Fisher is Phil Jackson's Plan B, right? Maybe not. Now it looks like Brian Shaw is atop the backup list, even though he's said he's happy in Denver.
Even with Serge Ibaka on the floor, the Thunder would be hard-pressed to beat a well-oiled machine like San Antonio.
"He's a smart guy, smart mind," Durant said. "He's a great motivator, great speaker and can really relate to a lot of guys and demands that respect from everybody. He's a great locker-room guy. I'm sure he'll do a great job."
It's not going to happen, no matter how much Phil Jackson might try. Unless he actually has Zen powers of hypnotism, and even then it's a long shot.
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."
