Knicks keep falling further behind in Frank Vogel sweepstakes

Even if Knicks president Phil Jackson lusted after free agent Frank Vogel, the Zen Master could still be singing the Memphis blues.

The Grizzlies have emerged as the likeliest destination for Vogel, with Memphis’ Commercial Appeal reporting he is at the top of their list. Vogel and Memphis general manager Chris Wallace worked together for five seasons with the Celtics. Vogel was the video coordinator/assistant coach before leaving in 2004.

The Grizzlies have reached out to Vogel’s reps, according to The Vertical. The Rockets have interest, too. Knicks GM Steve Mills contacted Vogel’s reps Friday and Jackson is mulling the next step at his Montana vacation home — with Kurt Rambis still regarded as the front-runner.

The Grizzlies may interview Vogel at the Chicago draft combine that starts late this week. Jackson had attended the Chicago camp the past two years, though he doesn’t have a first- or second-round pick this June.

poor vogul

look here..the more I see of Phil Jackson as Knicks Pres the more my respect for him diminishes.

he is as lousy a personality in the end as the worse rats on a sinking ship.

my loss of respect for him began when as soon as he assumed the job as Knick president he attacked Melo, seeking to drive him down in pending negotiations for Melos pay.

from there it was down hill to dropping Fisher for Kurt Rambis..one hell of a terrible move in all terrible moves  I have seen.

and he is lying here... Jackson.  he does not want Vogel.  Jackson wants one man and he is Rambis.  and that is who he will end up with because he wants to.

Piss on the Knicks.  I am only sorry Melo signed there.  if he can escape now he should take the shortest route.

Phil Jackson is useless as Knick president
