Outlook: Just when you think things cannot get more dysfunctional in New York, Phil Jackson holds a postseason press conference where he essentially goes public with the idea that Carmelo Anthony needs to move on to another team. After that, Kristaps Porzingis skipped his exit interview as a protest to all that is wrong with the Knicks. If the NBA had a Hard Knocks series like the NFL, the Knicks would undoubtedly be high on the list for fans to be entertained by their organizational turmoil. The good news for Knicks fans is they will have a high draft pick in June. Malik Monk is a perfect fit for the Knicks and would be a great player to pair with Porzingis. (Getty)
