Oh man, just when you thought the New York Knicks drama was over after firing head coach Derek Fisher, it appears as if it’s just starting.
That’s because the former New York Knicks coach allegedly was banging one of his players girlfriends.
So is the word from The Big Lead:
Windhorst chimed in: “Correct me if I’m wrong, Kevin [Arnovitz], but Tim Hardaway Jr. had to go on the record to discuss whether he and Derek Fisher were involved with the same woman. I’m fairly certain he had to go on the record and said he had to deal with that. So it wasn’t just Matt Barnes.”
As far as we can tell, if there was indeed a situation between Hardaway and Fisher, it never bubbled over publicly. During the Barnes fiasco, there was an offhand allusion to rumors of a love triangle involving Hardaway and Fisher (and one involving Fisher and Cleanthony Early) on a small web site called Sneaker Mob, and a few offhand tweets. There were plenty of stories last season about Hardaway Jr.’s being in Fisher’s doghouse on the court (here, here,here), but that’s not altogether uncommon for a young player. Hardaway was traded to Atlanta this offseason.
While Anthony is no longer a member of the Knicks, as stated above, Cleanthony Early is and recently returned to the team a few days ago after injury.
Maybe Matt Barnes knew what he was talking about all along.
Somewhere in the Big Apple, Carmelo Anthony is wondering what life in Denver would look like right now.
