Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks Future Looks Bright

Phil Jackson, president of basketball operations for the New York Knicks, is taking in a lot of heat as of late. The Knicks have the worst record in the NBA at 5-35. This record makes fans very frustrated as they expect nothing but the best for their “Knickerbockers.” With the year coming close to the mid way break the playoffs look like they are out of question this season. Many fans are now skeptical about what to expect for their New York team for the rest of the season. Do they keep losing and try to have to the first pick in next years NBA draft? Do they rest Carmelo Anthony for the rest of the year? Many questions are being asked and Phil Jackson has many decisions to make in the next few months. As of late he has traded away some of their role players in JR Smith and Iman Shumpert for a couple of low profile players to clear up cap room. The next day all three players that were received in the trade were released. Phil Jackson is clearing house to make big moves this off-season and many people are starting to believe New York is on the rise for the next few seasons. Jackson is known to win championships and coach star talent in the past with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. He will do whatever it takes to put the Knicks back on track and make sure they are championship contenders in the next few seasons.
