Sounds like Nix has a lot better case than ABS.

I think ABS could end up regretting not settling.

I think Isiah and Dolan should already regret not settling but are too stupid not to.

They offered her 300k. She wanted 7 million. Thats not settling. Thats giving in to extortion.

I would never give that lady 7 million dollars and Dolan was smart not to give in to that.

Why should Dolan pay her 7 million dollars?

For Marbury calling her a Bword and Isiah hugging her once?

This is a lady that was in charge of marketing put out huge murals of players no longer with the team. She expalined she didnt know about the Eddy Curry trade. Even the most casual Knicks fan knew about the Eddy Curry trade. This was the head of marketing not doing her job in a professional way.

She committed tax fraud and drug MSG in to her tax fraud.

She had problems with many other people including Jeff Van Gundy and Clarence Weatherspoon.

Giving her 1-2 years salary as severance seems like plenty.
7 million dollars would have been around 30 years of pay for not working and in my opinion nothing less than extortion with the threat of bad publicity.

A hug and a bword does not equal 7 million dollars.

Sexual Harrassment, Wrongful termination and having your superiors tell you that it's ok for multiple people in your company to call you a bitch in the workplace, isn't worth 300G.

You talk about her job history but prior to Isiah's alleged sexual harrassment, it's filled with glowing reviews, bonuses for exceptional job performance and salary raises.

What do her tax problems have to do with Isiah sexually harrassing her, Dolan wrongfully terminating her and Isiah and Marbury calling her a bitch?

If JVG and Weatherspoon had such problems with her, why aren't any of them documented in writing by MSG and why aren't they testifying?

No matter what, the law says you can't do certain things to people in certain ways. She has rights and Nix back her up on one of the stories. Sexual harrassment is a serious thing and men usually don't understand that, but the law does. From what I been reading, Isiah and a few of the others are dead wrong! Her ability and talents as an employee where supposed to have been screened properly before she was hired. If they knew of her inabilities before she was hired, then why in the world would they hire her? They took her, so she was thiers. That's they're error of judgement and it does not count against her. What counts is what they said and did to her. What was she making a year with the Knicks? If Nix was pulling 250 thouw, then she probably was making more and 300k isn't enough for the simple fact that she is now a marked woman. She'll have a lot of trouble being hired to a high paying position from now on, so the damages have got' to be raised. It's a no brainer. Hey, Dol is a big spender so who cares. I'm not exactly sure of what' he's thinking when he spends his money, but whatever it is, it sure as hell isn't working. Point being, she has rights and is exercising them.

He was there for 15 years, then they suddenly discovered that he was incompetent after he gave his deposition.

I'm beginning to detect a pattern here.

Wow, so incompetence is tolerated for 15 years? I guess that's why Isiah was extended.

In that time they had:Drafts

1990-17(Jerrod Mustaf)-Weak draft overall.
1991-12(Greg Anthony)-Horrible Draft after pick 6.
1992-20(Hubert Davis)-Average draft.
1993-No Pick
1994-24(Monty Williams), 26(Charlie Ward). Ward was good Value.
1995-No Pick.
1996-18(Wallace), 19(McCarty), 21(Dontae Jones). Missed on some average NBA players.
1997-25(John Thomas). Best player they missed on? Stephen Jackson, he went 44.
1998-38(Demarco Johnson). Missed on Alston(39), and Cuttino Mobley(41)
1999-15(Weis), 46(J.R. Koch)
2000-39(Postell)
2001-38(Mikeal Wright), 42(Eric Chenowith)
2002- 7(Hilario)
2003- 9(Sweetney)
2004-33(Ariza)
2005-8(Frye), 21(Nate Robinson), 29(Lee)

Until 2002, we were never exactly in a prime position to do anything draft wise.

Jeff Nix was never the reason for the team not drafting well at any time.
