Derek Fisher is new Knicks head coach

[insidehoops]

Nick Collison said Fisher should

[knickscity]

Could be a done deal in the making Phil already took a fine talking about him.

[smoovegittar]

Gotta get him in and start rolling...

[Rameek]

What will happen if he decides to work in LA instead of NY?

Is there a trend here?

[percelloveknicks]

I'd rather have mark jackson

Phil isnt considering retreads. he's hiring someone he can mold.

Jack showed in one year he isnt willing to work with his boss....a clear no go.

[Rameek]

Looks like LA has backed off publicly (Thanks Jeanie Buss)

[knickscity]

Howard beck and Frank isola are reporting Fisher is basically a done deal, just ironing out the contract.

[smoovegittar]

Boom! Now we're rolling. Time to start tweaking the roster. Where's Euroleague with the trade scenarios? Hardaway, Shumpert and Tyler for Jimmer! :oldlol:

[Rameek]

These new coaches with no experience are getting grossly overpaid.

Jimmer is a free agent.


You still think Phil hired fisher, Cartwright, rambis, and possibly fox and Walton but that fisher won't be coaching the triangle?

Why did they lowball Kerr then? Did fisher get that extra money as a way to avoid bad press by "missing their guy" twice?

They didnt low ball honestly. New coaches avg about 2 to 3 mill. Experience with a resume about 4 to 5 mill. Elite coaches and executive/coaches 5 or more. The Warriors set a bad precedense.

It's a lowball offer once you see what a guy with the same experience got from the same team that wasn't willing to pay the "first choice".


Maybe the reports of what Kerr was actually offered were wrong, but he was a guy that another team wanted but fisher without another team wanting him got that much more?

There was no low ball offer. Kerr's experience dictated he got a fair contract offer from the Knicks I think 4.4 was too high. GSW set a precedence. JKidd got 2.5 mill bro. This is what probably forced the issue with the Knicks that they had to overpay Fisher.

I have no issue with us getting Fisher or going after Kerr. I do have an issue with the way our coaching search was handled. Granted, we're all on the outside looking in, but it doesn't appear Phil did his due diliigence. It looks like he just wanted a ventriloquist dummy to carry out the coaching PHIL-osophy he's too unhealthy to implement for an 82 game season. While to some this may seem like an excellent idea, I do not like it at all. I want a good coach. Not just an obedient one. Knowing how to listen to Phil doesn't mean you know how to make on the fly, in game adjustments. So you may have a great plan A, but freeze up when it comes to plan B.


don't even get me started on the $5mill per pricetag lmao I think that's more than any contract he's gotten as a player in his lengthy career.

[knickscity]

So now Phil has an extension of himself on the bench for the same amount of time he'll be here.

I like it solely it promote stability, but Fisher certainly has player respect and is a leader type. Nobody kept Kobe under wraps better than he did.

I'm good with this, since the man with 11 rings is good with this.

I'm riding with this. And I think PJ wanted Fish all along, but that's my opinion.

Fish will be worth every penny. You can bump this anytime.

[insidehoops]

Popovich still jokingly questioned Fisher

[el gringos]

I have a feeling that this is step 1 in fishers development to taking Phil's current job. In 5 years fisher is team president and the coach is Luke Walton or someone like that that they both groom over these next few years. Phil is a genius for getting tons of cash and being able to have others do the dirty work for him.
