Dolan Hired Mills to NOT trade KP and build with him. Yes or no?
Dolan Hired Mills to NOT run the Triangle. KP did not get along with Hornacek.
Euro coach? That would be good. I wanted Blatt. MIlls buddy. Complete the trifecta. Maybe Mills was privy to his health issues. If stress kills and he is truly a friend you don’t let the coach the Knicks.
Fiz was hired to coach KP and recruit FA to play with him. Develope the kids for on floor asset or trade fodder to round out roster. It was a good plan. KP got broken and given knicks history not of change, but panic “stars” went to the more stable team.
While Phil was not a good hire Dolan exasperated the process by not riding thru the pain. Dolan held on to Ewing when Nellie wanted him moved. HE panicked to think what the team and revenue would do after. Dolan is not a visionary he is reactive. Dolan wanted KP to be his centerpiece.
Dolan is reacting like fans to how this team is now. Its OK for us to be reactive. We are fans and not intimate with the inner details. Firing Fiz is a symptom of the dysfunction. At this point its so bad Fiz had to go.
Dolan usually gets more panicky when Nets are relevant too. He knows Durant lurks next season. He knows.

The Knicks had a plan. It just didn't work out. How could the knicks keep on failing to draft players who can't shoot is crazy. We drafted a player who can't hit free throws. Maybe it's the New York experience. Hey the Nets aren't doing that great either. I Really don't think Dolan selling the team will solve anything.

Barrett isn’t a broken shooter. He’s correcting his free throw shooting and will be fine. He’s a playmaking wing. Knox can shoot and will improve. The reality is they need to support Barrett and Mitch by surrounding them with 3 shooters in the lineup.

Realistically Knox has not shown us he can consistently shoot. His 3pt % is a smidge above last year and everything else is the same or worse and everything is below average.

The way I see it Knox shot the ball very well until his minutes declined for defensive concerns. Being a consistent shooter when the minutes are sporadic is tough. Just ask Wayne Ellington. If Knox is playing 25+ mpg in a consistent role he probably shoots 3s in the high 30s.

And anyone Knox is guarding will be hitting 3's (and any other shots) in the high 50's.
