It's open season on Knicks team president Phil Jackson.

With years of losing and bizarre managerial tactics used by the man formerly known as the Zen Master during great years as a coach, Jackson has become a target for those tired of watching the Knicks scuffle under his watch.

As the days tick away until a Carmelo Anthony deal and uncertainty now hovers over Kristaps Porzingis' future in New York, a former Knicks big man and longtime Anthony teammate went in on Jackson, his handling of players and the odd insistence for playing the triangle offense in 2017.

"The triangle is not going to run in this NBA, I don't care who you have on the floor," ex-Knicks and Nets power forward Kenyon Martin said on the "Two Man Weave" podcast, per the New York Post. "This is not your Bulls, this not Kobe and Shaq's Lakers. This is the 2017 NBA, and that style of basketball is not going to go."

Martin went on to explain how Jackson should be building a roster to make Anthony better--not blame him for the issues the team has elsewhere.

"You have to use a guy's skill sets," said Martin, who played 50 games for the Knicks between 2012-14 and was a teammate of Anthony's in Denver. "I understand Melo is a ball stopper. I played with him for eight years, I understand that. But you do things to circumvent that. You get him a strong-minded point guard who he respects. I don't think Phil has done a good job in doing that."

As far as handling (or failing to handle) stars like Anthony and Porzingis?

"If you have a problem or something to say to a player, or whoever it is, you go to that player and have man-to-man conversation," Martin said. "Whatever comes out of that is where it should be."

Since taking over as team president, the Knicks own an 80-166 record under Jackson and have failed to make the playoffs in all three seasons.
