This. Dumbest coach contract ever. Did anyone think it would work out for 5 years in NYC?

Nah it really wasn't, you've gotta understand how Dolan likes to run that ship over there, he thinks he's the puppet-master. Part of those contracts were to fool the Knicks fans into sense of security, thinking they were turning the corner with new guys in charge, ones with multiple championship typa pedigree's.

Pretty sure he told Phil Jackson to name his price..

Now that they've got Porzingis he can do whatever he wants, they've got a franchise pillar and everyone knows it.

There's way more $$$ to be made presenting Porzingis as the savior, rather than a good old fashioned efficient front office.

Apparently Phil Jackson did. But remember, Fisher was about his 10th choice. No one wanted that job last year.

And just for the record, Fisher LIED...about everything.

Yeah. I guess I meant more on the lines of the rich New Yorker throwing money into the wind and knowing he was doing it.

New Yorkers are street smart though and well figured. I don't think their hardcore fan base was really buying what you are selling. It was obviously dumb to sign a rookie head coach, or any coach, to a five year deal at a substantial price tag.
 
Considering the OP...I thought this thread would be about signing Fisher to a 10-day contract to backup Neto.
