League sources are claiming that the Cleveland Cavaliers are out of the running for Phil Jackson, leaving New York and Los Angeles as his two possible destinations.

Earl Monroe doesn't expect him to come to the Knicks either.

"I've talked to a couple of people pretty close to Phil," Monroe said yesterday at the Meadowlands during the Nets-Heat playoff game. "It's a good shot to try to get him. In terms of his own legacy, I know he should go to someplace where there's a guy they can build around and become a winning team. I don't see with the Knicks they have that type of team in place at this point."
