all of it

Kudos to Perry - that's an amazing haul for a rental.

This. All of the crapping on the Knicks for not being in on one of the two opportunities to take on salary for assets can stop now. I do t expect lol Knicks to stop but this was a great trade.

To be honest, the one good thing about Leon Rose hiring is that I expect the lol Knicks stuff to simmer down. Leon has tentacles through a lot of NY media.

What does it say about their journalistic integrity though, that they’ll suddenly lay off us because of our presidents personal and professional links to them?

i totally agree re great trade.

i disagree re comment about crapping on Knicks for not being in on one of the two opporunties... That is and was legitimate criticism. Knicks blew it on that front, and if you want to see the way a real front office would handle it look to the Grizzlies who are still doing it as of this week with Dieng!

non-celeb front office focused on the details like how a trade exception can become valuable (hoping somehow our swap pick has similar value in the future).

So for those (not you) crying about experience FO, Mills was experienced and he still flubbed up big time. In his spare time he should study what the good franchises are going. Hint: not rushing to hire JAGs and rentals on the first day of FA with big $$ to secure the signing in a hurry.

hopefully this is all water under the bridge and we'll be headed towards better times!

oxymoron when it comes to sports writers

At least on this beat. You need sources to compete here. That's part of the reason there's been so much scrutiny, real and imagined. Dolan isn't that media friendly and Pills went into witness protection the past two months. Rose has a reputation for being available and influential. That should change the public perception a bit. Still, players talk.

Earlier in the week, before Mills was reassigned to another role at Madison Square Garden, members of the Knicks organization felt that they had made significant progress toward a trade for D'Angelo Russell. It's unclear what package was on the table, but one offer included Bobby Portis, Allonzo Trier and Frank Ntilikina, per sources. The Knicks obviously would have had to include at least one first-round pick. Before Mills was let go, they were willing to do that. Afterward, it was about making deals with the future in mind.

Not only that but Knicks probably have one of the better stockpile of upcoming picks?

That was my point!

It is all about the "image" and this what Dolan hired the consulting firm to change...
