The Knicks have fired Derek Fisher, ESPN has learned. Management was disappointed with team's performance, decided change was needed.

The Derek Fisher in New York appears to be over.
Fisher lost 9 out of his last 10 games and that was a wrap for his head coaching stint in New York. Phil Jackson has an interim head coach, but boy oh boy are there options out there. Mark Jackson? Tom Thibodeau? Brian Shaw? Dare I say, Luke Walton?
Kurt Rambis is Knicks interim coach but league sources believe Brian Shaw and Luke Walton are top long-term replacement candidates

Somewhere Matt Barnes just felt like he won the Super Bowl and Luke Walton probably just put his Bay Area home up for sale.
