They finished the regular season with a relatively disappointing sixth seed in the West and ultimately failed to come out of

Now, after two underwhelming seasons—failing to win a single postseason game, let alone make the 2014 NBA Playoffs, Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni resigned Wednesday. The move, unexpected as it was, seemed to have been prompted by his displeasure with the

Scotto: Should Steve Kerr Coach the Knicks?

by

Steve Kerr is the consensus frontrunner to become New York’s head coach, but should he be? Is Kerr the coach that will convince Carmelo Anthony he can win a championship if he re-signs with the Knicks? How will veterans like Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith, who both criticized Mike Woodson – even after Chandler won Defensive Player of the Year and Smith won Sixth Man of the Year under Woodson’s guidance  – respond to Kerr?

SH Blog: Jackson will meet with Kerr next week, Big O thinks Anthony should leave town and go to Houston

by

By now, we all know that Phil Jackson is looking to make some major changes within the New York Knicks organization. He has fired Mike Woodson and his coaching staff, is making internal changes (or at least trying to do so with some resistance from Jim Dolan), has already stated that he will move forward with or without Carmelo Anthony, and will soon hire a new coach. Whether he’s doing everything correctly remains to be seen, but at the very least,
