Phil might just want to sell free agents on the prospect of living in NYC. I am not sure playing in the Triangle and with Carmelo is going to make them come running to the Knicks, but this is his plan.
Jackson also hopes to get two starting-quality players in free agency.
He said he will sell free agents on the triangle offense, the presence of Carmelo Anthony and the history of winning that he and his staff have established.
“We have a unique style, and that attracts certain people,” Jackson said.
Phil says he’s open to trading the Knicks Top 5 pick, but would prefer to draft a star that can be the cornerstone of the franchise.
