The Knicks and team president Phil Jackson “quietly” picked up their
respective sides of Jackson’s mutual option for the next two years this
spring, according to Ramona Shelburne and Ian Begley of ESPN.com. The option
would have allowed either side to exit the contract this year, but now that
it has been exercised by both sides, Jackson is locked in through the 2018/19
season. Sources tell ESPN that the mutual option was exercised “a while ago.
”
As another disappointing season in New York neared its conclusion, there had
been speculation that one side or the other would opt out of Jackson’s
contract. A report in March suggested that some people close to Knicks owner
James Dolan were urging him to make a change, despite his public commitment
in February to retaining Jackson.
Meanwhile, Jackson just finished a turbulent 2016/17 season that saw him
publicly clash with star forward Carmelo Anthony in the weeks and months
leading up to the trade deadline. In Jackson’s three years as New York’s
president, the team now has an 80-166 overall record. However, he has long
insisted that the option was only inserted in his contract as a precautionary
measure related to CBA talks, since he didn’t want to stick around through
another lockout.
With Jackson poised to manage the Knicks’ roster through another season, he’
ll have plenty of interesting decisions to make this summer, including
potentially trading Anthony, deciding whether to attempt to bring back free
agent point guard Derrick Rose, and determining which player to draft with
the club’s lottery pick.
短評或心得：
到今年任一方都可以選擇跳出合約，但目前兩邊都同意繼續執行合約。
所以接下來兩個球季還是由 Phil Jackson 繼續執行職務
