Dolans wife would be drawn to Jax and dolans kids would ask him for advice. Dolans dog would switch loyalties.

Dolans backing band would also be apt to follow Jax. All those tall mens just be too much for Little Jimmy.

He's communicating with subtlety.

Berger's article rings true in so many ways. Dolan cares about making money, which is why he's big on CAA. The Knicks winning a championship is on the backburner. He cares more about schmoozing with the Hollywood types than bringing in legit basketball management and personnel. This team was doing alright under Walsh. Once he left the roof caved in again and we are back to square one with Dolan's stupidity.

You can try and neglect that sad fact but you'll realize it eventually. This isn't about Phil. It's bigger than Phil. It's about us being a joke of an organization.

I think Beck kind of layed out what it would be like with Phil. He would clash with the organizations policies and Dolan and he wouldn't back down. I think you have to remember that while Dolan hired Walsh at Stern's request he also let him go at the end of his contract. I am not positive that the owner wants a guy with the credentials, clout and ego of a guy like Phil or even Walsh. I could be wrong about this but Dolan has always been a free spender and often has overspent to do what he thought might help the team. I don't think this is about money. It could be Dolan's loyalty to Woodson. He certainly was too loyal to Layden and Isiah. However, he hasn't given Woodson a contract yet.

James Dolan doesn't want successful people who will talk back to them when he says his stupid ideas and yells at people. He wants yes-men. He wants puppets he can control. This is why this team will only be successful by accident if they ever do become successful. No competent man with credentials will want to work for an egomaniac like James Dolan.

I never heard that Dolan was making moves behind the scenes when Layden was acquiring all of his ex Utah role players.

What did Isiah say yes to? Con man maybe, yes man no. Also, lying or agreeing to do anything to keep getting a paycheck (i.e. coaching) after you have created a can't win situation makes you a survivor not a yes man.
