Phil Jackson doesn't believe the New York Knicks need to be concerned with finding a point guard, with the triangle offense not needing it to be successful.

"Chasing a point guard, where it becomes just an obsession, isn't necessary. It's not necessary. We can play the game without that," Jackson said Friday.

Jackson pointed to the success he had with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers without a ball-dominant point guard, though those teams had Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

"We went to a two-guard format, and I think we were successful at it," he said. "I think we caught a lot of people in the league by surprise because of the way we played. So it works, and we know it works."

Mike Conley and Rajon Rondo are high profile free agent point guards.

Jackson noted how the Knicks would like to develop guards from within, such as the recently signed Tony Wroten.

"Our process is going on [and] it's a little underground, a little beneath the surface, but this is one of our desires, that we have to have a penetrator and we have to have somebody that can handle those roles," he said.
