Hornacek's departure was a given, Mills wants to clean house of Phil Jackson sooner than later. See him jump the gun and dump bucks on Hardaway the second Phil was gone, throwing stupid money at him and Ron Burgundy before Knicks organizatino blinked. would not be surprised to see Clarence Gaines gone with rest of staff, depending on who they hire. Perry seems to dig the nepotism vibe, signing players and people he's familiar with, as opposed to best fit for the team. As long as Mills runs this team and Dolan owns it, Perry will be making safe decisions. I'd say Vogel's got the best shot, but front office will interview everyone and show their due diligence while aces like Fizdale get scooped up.
Glad to see Horn gone, along with Rambis. His poor substitutions, his reliance on bench-class veterans starting (Sessions, Jack, Lance, Lee, Beasley) and playing the biggest minutes was at the core of losing basketball.
His doghouse affected players in a severely negative way, getting Noah thrown off the team and losing any chance of a trade, and causing Willy to ask for a trade for peanuts, when the center situation is precarious at best with Kanter and KO able to opt out this off-season.
With Horn in charge, the ball hardly moved, instead went into the post where Kanter and KP gobbled it up. Losing KP, this team went to hell, defensively and offensively.
On top of all this, Frank hardly developed, getting sh!tty backup minutes, getting pulled instead of letting him play through his mistakes, and watching as Knicks signed 4 PG's after he was drafted, all to start before him at his position.
Looking forward to a new coach who will help Frank realize his offensive potential, and have team play where the ball moves, players move, and Knicks get easier shots than what they've gotten the past few years.
dream situation: draft Mikal, hire Jay Wright
Best of luck Jeff, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Rambis? GTFO now
