Should the Knicks move on from Derek Fisher?

[Knicksfever2010]

He lied about the reason why he left the team. In fact he said he was leaving to see his kids when in fact he went to attend a party with his new g/f.

Really hope Dolan/Jax decide to cut ties with this scumbag. Of course that wont happen because Fisher is Jax's protege.

Amazing how this stuff ALWAYS happens w/ the Knicks. I'm done defending this team. Short of Durant/Melo/Lebron, I'M DONE!

[Duderonomy]

He has a 5/25 deal the Knicks aren't going to eat 20 mil. Let's see how he does this season with Robin, Kristaps, and Aaron added.

[Sarcastic]

Yes, but because he sucks, not because of this latest incident.

Rick Carlisle for a Knicks first rounder, deal?

[Gileraracer]

No, he lied to fight Matt Barnes

[Sakkreth]

Depends if he gets the girl or if Barnes does.

And what's better for the team ? I don't know, who cares though it's not like they gonna be relevant with or without Fisher.

he's signed for 5 years? what the hell were the knicks doing?

[Sakkreth]

:lol

"Lets sign rookie coach for 5 years as our head coach"
Knicks organisation.

:roll:

[GoatBoy]

PJax is just there to run the organization to the ground and dip

This whole Derek Fisher experiment seems to be over. I mean the guy had them reading books. How is reading a book going to make the team better offensively or defensively? It's like Fisher is trying every gimmick in the book and doesn't really have any real substance to help this team win NBA games. Phil Jackson doesn't want to touch this team with a 10ft pole, but he saw the money on the table and grabbed it. Luckily for Steve Kerr he realized the toxic situation the Knicks were in and headed for Golden State.

Fisher is in over his head. The same way Kerr would be if thrown into this type of lose/lose situation. On top of that, he's having all these off the court problems with his personal life.

Bullshit. We'll see where they're at in 30 games. I'm not using last season as a measuring stick, but Fish better show me something this year. Couldn't care less about the domestic issues; half the league act like jackasses and clowns. See what money will do?

You guys have endured a lot of crap over the years with management and their strange decisions. I'll never forget that draft when Isaiah picked the guy with dreadlocks. I can't remember his name.
That was just one oddball move in many.

I guess Fisher deserves a chance but inmho, I don't think he can get the respect of the players that he needs. He was once head of the players union and now he's management. But we'll see.

[Naero]

No one with any sense of business acumen would terminate Fisher at this time

How could an unexperienced guy like Fisher get $25m? I'm still in disbelief.

[DoctorP]

He's a bum.

[outbreak]

Who in their right minds gives a rookie coach a 5 year deal at all let alone at 25 million.

Knicks are the Detroit Lions of the NBA. Cursed.

Didn't Fisher try to motivate his guys last year by telling them some shit like "the guys on the other team put their shorts on one leg at a time just like you guys. We can beat them. Trust me."

Good luck with 5 years of that shit Knicks fans. Melo gonna ride off into the sunset getting paid tho

[lil jahlil]

Phil will keep him at least 20 games of the season. If they are healthy and still suck, then he is gone even with their history.

[4 Inches]

Melo better put in the work this season or else Fisher gon' pay Lala a visit.

doubt it. that's $20m they'll have to pay

[MellowYellow]

Coaching is important in the playoffs, but in the regular season it's about talent, effort, and chemistry. The knicks have all of these so they will be fine.

[Lebron23]

Fisher is a scum.
