Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 20, and the New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-94.
The press conference is presumably to introduce Phil Jackson as the newest member of the Knicks' front office. What his position will be is not yet known, thought reports have suggested that he'll be named director of basketball operations.
I see virtually no scenario in which Jackson looks bad coming out of this Knicks opportunity. If he clashes with Dolan and the result is an ugly divorce, everyone would blame Dolan and Jackson's reputation would barely be scratched.
Two Lakers greats are chucking up a half-court shot at the buzzer, campaigning Los Angeles brass to swoop in and hire the Zen Master. Will it go in?
Carmelo Anthony scored 19 of his 34 points in the first half as the New York Knicks opened a 24-point lead and coasted to their fifth straight win, 116-92 over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
The so-called Zen Master, who has 11 NBA titles as a coach and two as a player, verbally committed to running the team's basketball operations over the weekend, according to the New York Post.
The details ARE important, and that's why it is taking so long to make this deal official. It's a good thing that both sides aren't just jumping into the pool eyes wide shut.
By dint of his divine career, the Zen Master's aura will cure the diseased Knickerbockers. It seems so simple you wonder why Jim Dolan didn't do this sooner. But there are myriad contradictions to the move.
GM John Idzik is opting for the conservative approach thus far, which isn't sitting well with Craig and has him pining for the days of Mike Tannenbaum.
Sources have said Phil Jackson is close to agreeing to become the next Head of Basketball Operations for the Knicks, with a deal that could be finalized by the end of the week.
"Phil doesn't want to work with Steve," a person close to Jackson told the New York Daily News. "Mills doesn't know what to think now. Dolan is calling the shots on this one."
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 28 points as the New York Knicks defeated Philadelphia 123-110 on Monday night, sending the 76ers to their 17th straight loss.
Allan Houston, the Knicks' assistant general manager, will serve as the new team's GM. The team will conduct a fan vote to help choose the name of the new NBADL club.
According to a report, the Hall of Famer is expected to tell owner James Dolan on Monday whether he'll accept a position in the organization's front office and run basketball operations.
Contrary to popular opinion, it's not impossible to believe Dolan would actually relinquish control to someone. The model is right in front of everyone's eyes: Glen Sather and the Rangers.
Boomer and Craig were in lockstep early Monday with regards to Phil Jackson joining the Knicks front office...
Carmelo Anthony shook off a horrid shooting start and scored 26 points, leading the New York Knicks to their third straight victory, 107-97 over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Carmelo Anthony scored 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter, sending the New York Knicks to a rare easy night in a 108-81 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday.
Phil Jackson may one day return to the Knicks -- just not as head coach. The team has reportedly offered the legendary coach a front office position. Jackson was said to be mulling the offer and expected to give his answer next week.
Mason says he's been unable to land a job with the team despite an obvious need to get back to what worked 20 years ago, when the Knicks reached the NBA Finals under former coach Pat Riley.
It's easy to label the Knicks losers. But why must we join them? They say not just a tree but also a team grows in Brooklyn.
"We understand Dolan will not sell," Griffin wrote on Facebook. "We understand change may not come of this. We just want our voices heard. We want to remind Dolan and the NBA that our voices matter."
"I don't think they're tuning me out," Woodson said about his players. "They're still listening. We're just not getting it done on the basketball floor, and that's the frustrating part about it."
Carmelo Anthony scored 33 points to help the New York Knicks snap a seven-game losing streak with a 118-106 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
There's no saving this season, but perhaps it is worth changing coaches just to see how some of these players respond to a new voice.
