In latest NBA news, New York Knicks Team President Phil Jackson addressed his thoughts after one of Carmelo Anthony's former teammates Tyson Chandler criticized the Zen Master's previous comments regarding the 'chemistry' issues last season. Also, Ricky Rubio coming to NY rumors continue to heat up.

"Chemistry/culture? we have 1/3 roster new, every one new changes the chemistry on a team. Culture built on new behavior-fresh ideas," wrote Jackson on Twitter on September 21.

The legendary former NBA Head Coach previously made a statement regarding the chemistry of last season's 37-45 record.

"We felt [it was] important to bring in some new personnel, and start with some character guys that we felt can carry this forward. Watching them play, I saw guys that looked at each other like, 'You didn't back me up, you weren't here when I needed help.' There just wasn't the right combination or feel [where] it felt like everybody was in sync all the time," said Knicks President during his press conference.

He said this after he traded Chandler back to the Lone Star state, where he won his only championship at the 2011 NBA Finals versus the Miami Heat.

In addition to Chandler, Ray Felton was also dealt to the Dallas Mavericks for Shane Larkin, Wayne Ellington, José Calderón, Samuel Dalembert, and two second round picks on June 25, 2014.

After Jackson made the comments regarding the team's chemistry last season a few months ago, the former Knicks center recently broke his silence regarding his leadership during his Knicks tenure.

"I did nothing but try to help the culture there the three years I was there. You can say I didn't live up to whatever or you didn't like the way I played or anything. But to ever question who I am and the type of leader I am in the locker room, I don't even know where that came from," said Chandler, according to an ESPN.

"I honestly don't know where that came from. I don't know if Phil put that out there or who put that out there, but to me, that was the ultimate shock. And you don't have to say that to get rid of me or to trade me. The trade is over. So to judge my character and what I've done, you can go look at all my teammates and ask all of my teammates in the past, and the coaches I've played for, and I've never been a problem and never had a problem. So that was a shock to me that I didn't appreciate."

In latest Knicks news and rumors, Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio will reportedly sign with the either New York or the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2015 off season (as a free agent) if Minnesota does not resign him by Halloween 2014.

"We're going to look at the situation the same way we did with Kevin (Love). We're going to do the best thing for the organization, and if we can get something done sooner, great. If not, we're not necessarily in a rush," said Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Milt Newton, according to ESPN.

"Going forward, you want to show good will and trust in a player. So it can kind of go both ways whether you wait or do something now, but it has to be right for both sides."

The upcoming NY Knicks 2014-2015 season starts on October 29 at 8 pm on the ESPN and MSG networks.
