Figure out a way to shut down his main source of revenue... Which unfortunately will likely never happen in this case until one of the satellite services figures out a way to provide omnidirectional, all-weather TV and internet service to anyone anywhere. Either that or get a bigger billionaire to buy out his company and THEN fire him... How do you fire the owner?

There IS talent on this roster, it is flawed but in the right hands it can be molded into a serious contender. I really believe that. All you gotta do is listen to Phil talk about Red Holzman for 5 minutes to realize he thinks about MSG. I can definitely see Phil wanting to take a shot at this.

You never know. Not sure he needs to cement anything though. But he's not a slam dunk as G.O.A.T. The other thing is that while the Knicks have some talent, it's not like Melo-Amare and company are like Kobe-Shaq. And the Knicks are such a headache ownership-wise. I mean, it'd be great fun if PJ came back to town, but I don't see it. 8) That’s true about the ego. You never know. Not sure he needs to cement anything though. But he’s not a slam dunk as G.O.A.T.

You're probably right. He probably would never come out of retirement to work under J. Dolan. It's not impossible though that he misses the spotlight, etc. [6] Because he wants to win in NY, cement his rep as the best NBA coach ever, prove that he can Zen Master-style outmaneuver any idiot owner that he might have to put up with?

Deadspin summed things up perfectly this morning: Work through the argument here: Mike D'Antoni doesn't care about defense. But Amar'e Stoudemire can't execute Mike D'Antoni's defense, because he's too familiar with playing in D'Antoni's defensive system, which is non-defensive. Carmelo Anthony, meanwhile, refuses to play defense, which proves that he can't coexist with his coach (who doesn't care about defense). And the rest of the team, because Carmelo takes bad shots on the other end, refuses to play the defense that Mike D'Antoni doesn't coach. he quit, so I don’t have to feel an ounce of guilt in saying good riddance.
