Although everything was agreed that he would sit on the New York bench, Steve Kerr changed his mind and decided to accept Golden State's offer.
Now, Phil Jackson, president of basketball operations for the Knicks, finds himself in trouble, because he needs to find a new solution quickly.
Jackson now, as reported by ESPN, turned to former players of the Los Angeles Lakers - Derek Fisher, Tyronn Lue and Luke Walton.
Fischer is 39 years old, he is a member of Oklahoma, and he wore the jersey of the Lakers twice, from 1996 to 2004 and in 2007 and 2012.
During that time, he won five championship rings, and it's no secret that the LA Lakers want him on the bench.
However, Jackson has a plan to hire the more experienced Bill Cartwright and Kurtis Rambis as assistants in addition to Fisher.
Until now, Rembis was the head coach of the Lakers and Minnesota, and is currently an assistant coach at the Lakers.
Jackson worked with Cartwright in the Bulls and believes that the coaching staff in this composition is a winning combination for the coming years.
And Lu could become the head coach of an NBA team for the first time, and in recent seasons he was an assistant, first in Boston and then in the Los Angeles Clippers.
Walton spent nine years with the Lakers, but mostly he did not play a significant role in the team.
He has coaching experience, considering that immediately after the end of his playing career in Cleveland, he became the coach of the Lakers team in the Development League.
