Two Lakers greats are chucking up a half-court shot at the buzzer, campaigning Los Angeles brass to swoop in and hire the Zen Master. Will it go in?
Carmelo Anthony scored 19 of his 34 points in the first half as the New York Knicks opened a 24-point lead and coasted to their fifth straight win, 116-92 over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
The so-called Zen Master, who has 11 NBA titles as a coach and two as a player, verbally committed to running the team's basketball operations over the weekend, according to the New York Post.
The details ARE important, and that's why it is taking so long to make this deal official. It's a good thing that both sides aren't just jumping into the pool eyes wide shut.
By dint of his divine career, the Zen Master's aura will cure the diseased Knickerbockers. It seems so simple you wonder why Jim Dolan didn't do this sooner. But there are myriad contradictions to the move.
Sources have said Phil Jackson is close to agreeing to become the next Head of Basketball Operations for the Knicks, with a deal that could be finalized by the end of the week.
"Phil doesn't want to work with Steve," a person close to Jackson told the New York Daily News. "Mills doesn't know what to think now. Dolan is calling the shots on this one."

According to a report, the Hall of Famer is expected to tell owner James Dolan on Monday whether he'll accept a position in the organization's front office and run basketball operations.
The "process," as coach Jason Kidd likes to call it, has brought the Nets to this crucial juncture. A strong performance this week would send a message that Brooklyn belongs with more elite company.
Contrary to popular opinion, it's not impossible to believe Dolan would actually relinquish control to someone. The model is right in front of everyone's eyes: Glen Sather and the Rangers.
