Miserable winter over, Jackson focused on Knicks' key summer

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Phil Jackson oversaw the worst season in Knicks history, though he knows the franchise's future won't be determined by what happened during one miserable winter.

"But I think the real issue is coming up this summer and how we do from the end of June to the end of July in moving this team forward in quick order," Jackson said Tuesday. "That's going to be our challenge."

His end-of-season meeting with reporters was full of hope but little regret after the Knicks finished 17-65 in his first full season as president of basketball operations.
