I love when people tell me Dolan is not that bad.

I have to tell you'all, I didn't believe the entire article.

Walsh has favored hiring the likes of Warkentien for about 2 years now and is a close friend. Warkentien says he considers Donnie Walsh a mentor... and yet we are to believe that Dolan and company would hire Warkentien behind Donnie's back and at a level higher than Walsh? Really. All because his representation is CAA (same dudes as LeBron and company work with).

Right.

To me this article speaks of the author trying to get hits to his article.

You notices every bit of conjecture is an anonymous "source". Blah.

On second thought, the entire article looks like it is based off of interviewing CAA and/or using them as "sources". Double blah

yeah, it's funny, Wojo seems to take shots at CAA and particularly Wes all the time... but it seems like he goes to them for news/info all the time.

There's only one number that little Jimmy has to wrap his head around: the profit numbers. And I guarantee they're better under Walsh.

And if I'm wrong, well, I'd rather not get upset about it now. If the unmentionable event happens, I'm done. Simple.

You should read it. It is pretty scarey stuff from a very respected columnist who really doesn't need to sensationalize to get people to read his column. I don't think you can ever forget who owns this team and that just last summer he tried to bring Isiah back.

I'd rather stay ignorant on this topic. If it happens, it happens, and I'll quit the team. I'm not going to sweat it in advance.

I'm still anxious to hear what Marbury's dirt on Isiah is. That's got to be good.

same photos, Isiah a Power Ranger too

Team Vaseline.

If by some chance we don't make the playoffs, the only thing walsh woould have accomplish worth talking about is Landty Fields, and Gallo..all those contracts he got rid of, were set to be dead by this time had we did nothing.

Amare is having a very good year, but he still a piss poor rebounder, and a suspect defender..yeah I know he's blocking shots, but while he's chasing down guards to block there shots, there slipping the ball to whom ever he suppose to be guarding..A one legged Dirk scored at will yesterday, and that was on Amare's watch

Do you remember when Dolan gave Isiah his extension?

it was the biggest mistake he made.

I am with knicks1248, why would you give Donnie an extension until after the trade deadline? I wouldn't. No need to.

He gave Isiah the extension during his first season as coach, the instant the Knicks got hold of the 8th spot, which they relinquished almost immediately.

Whether he said it or not, there really was no ultimatum.

who (or what) is CAA?

I'm with you in that I just dont believe this article. I remember several times Walsh wanted to bring in guys and was told no for one reason or another

The agents that represent LeBron, CP3 and now Melo. Leron Rose and World Wide Wes.

They also now represent Warkentien (I have NO idea why he went with them).

This team is still a hot mess, the reason for the improve record, is the attitude more then it's the talent. It's becoming more and more obvious that your going to have to upgrade the roster to really compete.Walsh and MDA are screaming how much they like what they have, the only thing they really like is the fact that no one plays selfish and there's room to improve.

But just when you think a guy has turn the conner( chandler, TD, amare, mosgov, AR, felton) they do a complete 360. for example, we played some locked down defense against chicago, miami, boston, indi, then can't stop no one else, were falling behind by 20+ points only to go on a major run and come up short. I recall this same sht happing the last few seasons..so really how far have we come.
