Jackson was hired as team president in 2014 and the team has gone 90-171 during that time and did not make the playoffs.

Jackson's tumultuous reign as the Knicks' president was seemingly spiraling even more out of control in recent months. Jackson famously sparred with Carmelo Anthony publicly, appearing to be pushing his star player out the door. There were also recent reports that Jackson was strongly considering a trade of fan-favorite Kristaps Porzingis.

According to Darren Rovell of ESPN, Jackson was paid $60 million during his tenure with the Knicks.

This is a developing story.
