Knicks fire president of basketball operations Phil Jackson
The New York Knicks have officially fired president of basketball operations Phil Jackson, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
What It Means:
Knicks owner James Dolan made the move official on Wednesday. There is still $24 million remaining on Jackson's two-year contract, but the franchise has decided to go in a different direction. Reports suggest that Toronto Raptors' president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri is Dolan's first target to fill the position.
In the 3 years that Jackson held his title in New York, the Knicks went 80-166 with a 32-50 finish in 2015-16 as the team's best of the Jackson era. The team went 37-45 the year prior to Jackson's arrival.
