Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 2246469, member: 1001"] Phil absolutely had to go but he did more good here than people give him credit for, even if we're grading on a curve given the Knicks recent history. Some NY media members saying he was a worse executive than Zeke is ridiculous. The way he publicly treated Melo was bad enough but the KP stuff last week was so egregious. Nothing but petty, ego-driven behavior. Once you alienate the future of your franchise it's time to leave. Moving forward, bringing in Tim Leiweke to assist with the next GM hiring is an underrated development. Dolan made a big step forward by giving Phil complete control. The organization should take its next step under the guidance of Leiweke - bringing in an executive who understands and embraces the modern NBA. Ujiri or someone from the GSW or SAS family will probably be hired. Ujiri is fine but we better not give up any assets for him. [/QUOTE]
