Knicks and Lakers Both Pursuing Derek Fisher as Coach

**Easy-Rider 66** · 06-06-14, 07:22 AM

Jerry Sloan> Derek Fisher

**jjgold** · 06-06-14, 07:35 AM

Cannot win without good players

Fisher just doing it for money, he knows he cannot win at either place

**Bostongambler** · 06-06-14, 07:49 AM

Knicks don't even know if Carmelo will be there. Lakers in total disarray .

**d2bets** · 06-06-14, 08:37 AM

Phil is gonna get rejected again.

Lakers have a better future with those picks. Knicks are hopeless.

**Wulfman14** · 06-06-14, 08:58 AM

knicks have major work to do. hopefully carmelo stays

**Wrigley** · 06-06-14, 03:01 PM

Id take sloan over Fischer

**easyliving** · 06-06-14, 03:05 PM

Knicks only want Fisher because he will be a puppet under Phil Jackson, No clue why the Lakers would have slighest of interests in Fisher as a franchise that needs to win now and will be making a big splash in free agency next summer. Their better off bringing in an established coach who can turn things around.

Will Fisher use his kid's cancer to get out of another contract if the team starts losing?

**BennyBigNuts** · 06-06-14, 03:20 PM

Both of these jobs suck.
Fisher would never go to a bad team to coach.
Look at his track record as a a player.
When team decline, he bails, then goes to a better team.
And let's not forget his joke of an excuse he used to get out of Utah.
Fkn guy used his kid's cancer as a bullshit reason to leave.
He is definitely not a good prospect to run your team either way.

**Cuse0323** · 06-06-14, 03:35 PM

Go to the Lakers, Phil is pissing me off. Get a real coach or do it yourself, ya bum puppet master.

**DOM-Ganador** · 06-06-14, 05:13 PM

Said it before. I don`t believe there is more than a dozen dudes who can actually be succesful being the "HEAD Coach"
of an NBA team. Tons of guys can be #2,3,4 etc. but I look around the league and laugh my a** off at some of the head coaches.
Same thing with the NFL. MLB seems to have more qualified candidates.No clue in NHL.

Anyone who has played or watched hoops for more than 5 minutes has to realise OKC runs a Junior High offense.
Look what Doc did with the Clips and think what he could have done with OKC??

Fukking POS left the Mavs to "be with his family" last year and all of a sudden signed with the Thunder a couple months later

definitely has character issues, would be a huge risk hiring him as a coach right away, no way the Lakers are dumb enough to go after him.

Yup.
Just another reason why the NBA is a joke these days.
All because of the biggest piece of shit on the planet, LEBRON.
Now it's just a bunch of fairy-diva's who don't want to work for it to win. They want to just run to good teams and scam to get them together in the process.
Can't stand the NBA anymore.

**Dirty Sanchez** · 06-06-14, 06:36 PM

Both rosters and front offices are trainwrecks...Steve Kerr was the smartest guy in the NBA when he ran as fast as he could to Golden State

**Darkside Magick** · 06-06-14, 06:39 PM

Phil just need to coach this year to set the framework and try for another coach next year

**z-doggie** · 06-06-14, 06:43 PM

Don't know why any body whants fisher...i don't think he will be all that good for either team....

Thinking somebody with experience will do a better job...

he would take a few years to even be half good...

**jjgold** · 06-06-14, 09:18 PM

I love these players with no coaching experience and teams think they are gods gift to the world

THey I just names

**TheMoneyShot** · 06-06-14, 09:31 PM

Clearly Fisher should take the job coaching at either place. Guy's playing career is over.

**nyplayer33** · 06-06-14, 11:29 PM

dont think knicks can win with carmelo..he is goofy and not serious enouigh. Look at how serious and focused duncan and ginobli are

**opie1988** · 06-07-14, 05:54 AM

Who would've thought Kings/Rangers would ever be a way bigger deal than anything Lakers/Knicks?

**Otters27** · 06-07-14, 11:45 AM

This is the gold rush for the next big NBA coach. Lots of teams looking to hire veteran point guards out of

**BigSpoon** · 06-07-14, 12:01 PM

Why not go after Mark Jackson instead?

**LordVodka** · 06-07-14, 12:06 PM

Is this a new trend of getting some big ex player who has no coaching experience?

**jjgold** · 06-07-14, 01:09 PM

Dont even need a coach

Players win not coaches except maybe NFL there is coaching involved

Phil wants someone that knows Triangle Offense.

**LT Profits** · 06-09-14, 03:50 PM

Fisher could be Knicks Coach by the end of today.

**Cross** · 06-09-14, 05:41 PM

That brut ha can coach for sure.

**jjgold** · 06-09-14, 05:50 PM

lol

48 wins at best??

**LordVodka** · 06-09-14, 11:23 PM

Cant believe they are actually doing this? What does Phil jackson see in this guy?

**BigSpoon** · 06-09-14, 11:58 PM

Huge gamble by Phil Jackson, that roster really needs an experienced coach.

**MexicanStallion** · 06-10-14, 12:25 AM

Well I don't see Fisher finishing out this contract. Interesting choice.

**Cuse0323** · 06-10-14, 03:08 AM

The first time we get to see Phil fail. Of course he doesn't have a team with two to three superstars now but he can just blame it on Fish if it doesn't work out. I wish he would coach them himself but he would rather have a pawn to do it for him and not tarnish his legacy.
