Steve Kerr is a very smart man for reneging the Knicks offer for Golden State and we all know what happened- an NBA Championship for the Warriors for the first time in 40 years. The Knicks haven't won a championship since 1973.
And won't win one in the foreseeable future.
Fisher has been on my shit list since he weasled his way out of contract with the Utah Jazz to be closer to better treatment for his daughter who had eye cancer and subsequently re-signed with the Lakers. The doctor who performed eye surgery on his daughter was in New York. LA isn't closer to NY, than Salt Lake. Plus, the Salt Lake region is well known to have great medical facilities.
He also weasled out of a contract with Dallas and then signed with OKC. I believe Mark Cuban is still pissed at him...
My buddy used to coach a high school team in the Bay Area and the team was lucky enough to watch a Lakers practice in the City. After practice almost all the Lakers including Kobe stayed around and took pictures. The only player that left was Derek Fisher...
By January 2016 Fisher will be fired, but still owed about $18M left on his $25M deal.
Phil Jackson has proven he can coach, but at this point in time- he doesn't seem to know how to run an NBA franchise.
