Brown vs Steph part 2!?
Buyers Market and I'm selling!!
Do not agree at all, not sure if any one has said this, but this is the same exact situation the year JVG took us to The Finals, Phil was unemployed and despite the fact that The Knicks were geling and JVG had the support of Ewing (just like Melo has supported Woody) the rumors of us going after him were there.
Look this is the 3rd round of Phil to NY rumors in the past 12 years and the first 2x the teams were either not good enough (05 with Steph Crawford and co.) or did not have the type of personel that Phil demands (99 squad) and this time looks like a team Phil could and would coach this squad.
But enough is enough, we need stability! Woody has us playing the best 20+ game stretch since my man Van Gundy stepped down, the players know and like him! I don't want to be losing next year thinking/hoping the players just need to buy into the system!
Plus the Melo Jackson relationship now becomes bigger than the games themslevs! There is potential for this being a repeat of Larry Brown and Steph!
We have waited for this team to come together for too long, we are here, no more steps backwards!!!
Give Woody an extension for 2 more years to give stability to the locker room, if he does not improve next year, write the check for the final year and let him go (Dolan has paid more for less plenty of times!) then go after Phil!
There is no real threat of Phil going to another team before the end of next season! Pat Riley would never hire him before stepping and coaching himself, Scott Brooks has OKC on lock, as does Tom Tib. for Chicago!
Again Buyers market with this one Dolan, no need to rush or over pay here!
Plus Woody is doing a Great JOB!!!! :gony:
