The Cavaliers, who held a telephone interview with Jackson on Friday, are no longer in the running for the Zen Master's services, according to a league source. However, Knick legend Earl Monroe, Jackson's former teammate, said yesterday he has spoken to associates of the former Lakers coach and believes he's not headed to New York either. "I've talked to a couple of people pretty close to Phil," Monroe said yesterday at the Meadowlands during the Nets-Heat playoff game. "It's a good shot to try to get him. In terms of his own legacy, I know he should go to someplace where there's a guy they can build around and become a winning team. I don't see with the Knicks they have that type of team in place at this point." </div> Source
Welp, time for the Cavs to make a run at Flip Saunders. I think they have a good shot at getting him, but they better act fast before someone else steals him away.
