    I think he'll be more active than that. He has an ego to serve.

    To the comment above about Felton. He won't be there very long.

    Phil doesn't strike me as a person caring too much about his legacy.

    Taking the job with the Knicks is all about the $$$. That franchise is screwed for the next few seasons.

    Well the only I can say to that is if he wasn't worried about his legacy, why didn't take on lesser talented rosters? He knew what he was doing and walking into when he took over the rosters he took over.

    He may not be worried about it now as Pres. But I think he did think about it when he was coaching.

    Phil is probably a double agent for the Lakers, his girlfriend IS working in their front office!

    I don't think he's worried about his legacy now. He's a hall of famer coach with several rings. His legacy is cemented next to Red Auerbach!

    The Knicks are due. The NBA has too big of a vested interest for them not to get over soon. And when they finally win, Phil will get credit for it.

    It'll be interesting seeing how he turns that mess around.

    You can already see and feel his impact. Melo has already said "I'll change"

    Wouldn't that be wild if Lebron, Carmello and Kobe all ended up on the Knicks? That would really draw some conspiracy theories.

    It's possible.
