Re-signed to a Different Role 

7/29/14

    According to a league source New York Knicks bigman Andrea Bargnani has been released from his contract and resigned by Phil Jackson in a less demanding capacity. According to Jackson, Barnani's new role will include "non-basketball responsibilities" such as "reaching for high stuff and killing spiders." 

     Jackson recently pulled muscles in his back reaching for his legendary triangle offense playbook. After months of trying to figure out the best role for Bargnani in the Knick's new offense, Jackson determined that the new role better matches Bargnani's skill set.  

    "Let's face it," said Jackson in a recent interview. "He doesn't like to move around a lot, but he can reach high stuff."
