Eleven championship rings only buys you so much goodwill. And especially when you're dangling the future of the franchise in trade talks.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, Phil Jackson will be relieved of his duties as the New York Knicks' president of basketball operations.
The 71-year-old Jackson has two years and $24 million left on his contract, but owner James Dolan felt it was time for a move, according to Wojnarowski.
Jackson made headlines around the NBA Draft saying he was fielding trade offers for Kristaps Porzingis, something that may have been sparked by the 21-year-old rising star skipping his exit interview at the end of the season.
