Former LA Lakers Champion Derek Fisher Fired From Knicks Coaching Job

Feb 21, 2016, 09:01

"œI personally never thought the Knicks were going to make the playoffs anyway, so I don"™t understand the objective of letting Fisher go now.

"Yeah, I don't think that's even a question for me as far as playoffs", Anthony said.

Boston Celtics Coach Brad Stevens told reporters Sunday that a memo from the National Basketball Association said that act would now be ruled as a Flagrant 1 foul. Jackson hired Fisher in June 2014, just weeks after Fisher was done playing. Since he joined the organization in 2011, there have been four different coaches, including interim coach Kurt Rambis.

The exit polling of voters was conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research. Almost 4 in 10 of those voters backed Trump, while a third who oppose such a ban preferred Rubio.

Kurt Rambis already has done something differently than Derek Fisher.

"Some of the onus is on the players", Jackson said. He is also the past president of the NBA players association, serving from 2006 to 2013. He was involved in a fight with Memphis Grizzlies forward and former teammate Matt Barnes when he was at the home of Barnes' estranged wife in California. This season, the Knicks are improved, but with the talent that they have, they should not have a losing record.

Jackson reiterated on the MSG network that the Knicks are looking to make a trade before the February 18 deadline, but said there's "very slim opportunity for us".

It all comes back to a great unknown, one that led to much of the surprise in Monday's announcement, which is precisely what the Knicks, Jackson in particular, thought he had on his roster this season.

Thibodeau has been linked to the Brooklyn Nets coaching vacancy as well, but according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Knicks president Phil Jackson has a couple other candidates up his sleeve. Jackson turned to him after Steve Kerr chose to take the Warriors' job after he was on the verge of accepting the Knicks' offer. He said that the management is aware that they have "some good guys" that are tradable while the team's chemistry is "pretty good". Their 21-61 record last season was the worst in franchise history.

"It's an unfortunate situation that I've been a part of multiple times through my career", Anthony added. With the frequency of changes happening in NY, the All Star forward admits that he has become immune to the trend.
