I pray to the heavens Phil Jackson is stupid enough to take the NY Knicks head coaching job and then we would see how he would do as a rebuilding head coach rather than taking over a close to finished product like he for Doug Collins with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horice Grant, or with the Lakers with Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant or Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum.

Jackson is a good coach, but he wants power in the front office and if he takes that coaching job I would love to see his triangle without a top 10 all-time great leading his offense.

Dude, your better off just conceding this argument. Melo only stays with the Knicks if he wants the 5 yr max deal. He isn't going to take less money since taking less money wouldn't help the Knicks this offseason get an elite FA, and as I have been saying when the Knicks lose Amare and Chandler next offseason and Love and Rondo are FAs they won't have enough space for both guys unless they acquired one during the season and then the forced a sign and trade to NYC. Love has LA Lakers written all over him he went to UCLA, his girlfriend lives in LA, and he like So. California. Rondo is a possibility if the Knicks had any decent assets and could give the Celtics those assets. Go ahead and hire Phil Jackson but as long as Jimmy Dolan owns the New York Knickerbockers for the foreseeable future their chances to win a title are bleak.
