''[[Forbes]]'' magazine released its franchise value rankings for NBA teams, and listed the Knicks as the world's most valuable basketball organization at $1.4 billion in 2014, edging out the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] by $50 million. The Knicks were valued at 40% more than the third-place [[Chicago Bulls]] valuation of $1 billion, and were valued nearly twice as highly as their crosstown rivals, the [[Brooklyn Nets]], who came in at $780 million.<ref>{{cite web |title=Forbes Releases 16th Annual NBA Team Valuations |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbespr/2014/01/22/forbes-releases-16th-annual-nba-team-valuations |work=Forbes.com |date=January 22, 2014 |access-date=May 5, 2014 |archive-date=May 5, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505214932/http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbespr/2014/01/22/forbes-releases-16th-annual-nba-team-valuations/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

In the off-season, the Knicks traded controversial guard [[Raymond Felton]], along with former NBA defensive player of the year, [[Tyson Chandler]], to the [[Dallas Mavericks]]. In return, the Knicks received [[Shane Larkin]], [[José Calderón (basketball)|José Calderón]], [[Samuel Dalembert]], and [[Wayne Ellington]] along with two picks for the [[2014 NBA draft]]. The trade was the first one that Jackson ever executed as a front office executive. On June 26, as part of the draft, the Knicks selected [[Cleanthony Early]] as the 34th overall pick, and [[Thanasis Antetokounmpo]] as the 51st overall pick, using the draft picks received in the trade from the Mavericks. The Knicks also acquired [[Louis Labeyrie]], an additional second-round draft pick, in a trade with the [[Indiana Pacers]] for cash considerations.

The Knicks would then go onto set a franchise record with its 13th consecutive loss, losing 101–91 to the [[Washington Wizards]], giving New York its longest losing streak in the franchise's 69-season history.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/games/20150107/NYKWAS/gameinfo.html |title=Knicks set record with 13th straight loss, 101-91 to Wizards |website=[[NBA.com]] |access-date=January 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108084948/http://www.nba.com/games/20150107/NYKWAS/gameinfo.html |archive-date=January 8, 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> This record was extended to 16th consecutive losses, after the [[NBA Global Games]] loss against the [[Milwaukee Bucks]] in London. The Knicks would finish the [[2014–15 New York Knicks season|2014–15 season]] with a win–loss record of 17–65, the worst record in franchise history, and allowed them to gain the 4th overall selection in the upcoming draft. The Knicks also bought out [[Amar'e Stoudemire]]'s $100 million contract a season early.

On June 24, 2015, the Knicks selected [[Kristaps Porziņģis]] with the fourth overall pick in the draft, and traded [[Tim Hardaway Jr.]] to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for [[Jerian Grant]], the 19th overall pick. Midway through another losing season, Fisher was relieved of his coaching duties, with [[Kurt Rambis]] being named as interim head coach as the Knicks finished the season with a record of 32–50.<ref>{{cite web |title=Knicks Relieve Fisher Of Coaching Duties |url=http://www.nba.com/knicks/knicks-relieve-fisher-coaching-duties |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NYKnicks.com |date=February 8, 2016 |access-date=February 8, 2016 |archive-date=September 25, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170925041929/http://www.nba.com/knicks/knicks-relieve-fisher-coaching-duties |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Jeff Hornacek]] was then hired as their next head coach, which also oversaw Jackson's most notable acts as an executive. On June 22, former [[NBA MVP]] [[Derrick Rose]] was traded, along with [[Justin Holiday]] and a second-round pick from Chicago, to New York in exchange for [[Robin Lopez]], [[José Calderón (basketball)|José Calderón]] and Grant. The Knicks also signed [[Joakim Noah]], [[Brandon Jennings]], and [[Courtney Lee]] to contracts worth a combined $127 million, and regressed the following season, causing the franchise to part ways with Jackson after three years as the Knicks' president of basketball operations.<ref name="nba.com">{{cite web |title=Phil Jackson, New York Knicks Agree to Part Company |url=http://www.nba.com/knicks/philjacksonknicks |website=NBA.com |access-date=June 28, 2017 |date=June 28, 2017 |archive-date=June 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628160740/http://www.nba.com/knicks/philjacksonknicks |url-status=live}}</ref> Under Jackson's presidency, the Knicks had gone 80–166, suffered three consecutive losing seasons, and missed three consecutive playoffs.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19755552/new-york-knicks-team-president-phil-jackson-mutually-agree-part-ways |title=Knicks, Phil mutually part ways after 3 years |work=ESPN.com |access-date=June 28, 2017 |archive-date=June 28, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628161052/http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19755552/new-york-knicks-team-president-phil-jackson-mutually-agree-part-ways |url-status=live}}</ref>

In his last act prior to leaving the Knicks, Jackson selected [[Frank Ntilikina]] with the eighth overall pick, [[Damyean Dotson]] with the 44th overall pick, and [[Ognjen Jaramaz]] with the 58th overall pick in the [[2017 NBA draft]].
