New York Knicks president Steve Mills says if it was up to him, the franchise wouldn't have signed veteran center Joakim Noah during the summer of 2016.

Phil Jackson, who was the Knicks president at the time, signed Joakim Noah to a lucrative four-year, $72 million free agent deal. Noah's tenure in New York was a disaster from start to finish and it only lasted 53 games.

Noah, who is now with the Memphis Grizzlies, said a few weeks ago he was “too lit” to play in New York, insinuating that he was partying too much. Steve Mills said that is one of the main reasons the Knicks waived Noah, so they could create a better culture for the organization.

Joakim Noah averaged a meager 4.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game with New York. The former Defensive Player of the Year underwent shoulder and knee surgery and was also suspended 20 games for taking a banned substance.

Jackson should have never given Noah that much money to begin with, as the big man was coming off a shoulder surgery in the first place. Then again, the Zen Master really only made one good move when he was in charge of the Knicks and that was drafting Kristaps Porzingis. Other than that, Jackson was terrible at his job in The Big Apple.
