for me, these comments from SAS means that SAS is all about drama

So Martin are you saying SAS didn't get this from an inner circle of confidants like all reporters have ?

If he doesn't progress this season, then it would be easier to trade him, but we still haven't seen him play his "real" 2nd season without injury yet.

+1 it's ridiculous!!!

I'm hardly checking every single thread, but who is saying that?! Not sure anyone believes that, at least not until THJ gives us any reason to.

I don't know if SAS is legit on this one, but it doesn't matter. It's out there now. Dolan/Grunwald need to nip this in the bud, bring in Iman, and assure him it's not true (even if it is...wouldn't be the first time management has been a little iffy on the truth).

I remember Sprewell's rant at Dolan at the Garden and Mike Breen crying about how disgraceful it was but its pretty easy to see after a few years why players and folks would feel that way about Dolan.

Shumpert & Chandler for Aldridge.

Would you welcome a package centering around Demarcus Cousins???? What about Rajon Rondo??? I ain't ready to give up on Shumpert though!!!

If the knicks can get any if those guys then Shumpert must go.

Shump is loved here but are we trying to develop talent or win within the next two seasons? Any of those guts would put us right there with Miami and Brooklyn

Dolan has been know to be a level headed non-emotional leader of men who has long term vision building championships.

Since his rise from humble beginnings Dolan has built an empire by making investments in people and helping them fulfil their potential.

What is so amazing about the guy is he does not get bogged down in the small petty issues as he understands people are not perfect. He expects hard work and results because thats how he came up!

Until we read the above about Dolan than I tend to believe the worst information when it infact leaks out of propoganda machine. WE talking about a guy who fires security guards if they don't "respect" who he is.

Who is he anyway?

Selective History.

He re-instated the security guard the very next day. Despite being an evil, arrogant, petulant billionaire.

As we all realize, any and almost all of the posters here at UK would be nothing but congenial, male versions of Mother Theresa, as well as the foremost model executive captains of industry and brilliant, studious basketball management geniuses, had they but the billions of dollars Dolan has.
Just ask your wife.

Some people live their lives and others type about it on the internet.

I will continue to love the Blue and Orange no matter who the owner is.

Lebron thought he was a clown.

Oh yes, yet another genius "Decision" brought to you by Mr. Floppy.

Oh my, looks like we touched a nerve with Dolan have we?

Organizational failure is a constant theme. Debate his attributes all you want but knicks record under his stewardship is not exactly inspirational.

Nobody expects "mother teresa" and all organizations make "hindsight blunders" even in route to success but this little dude is something else.

54 wins does not wipe out years of disorganizational failure. Blame starts and ends with ownership.

my wife owns and runs her own company with 25 employees. Guess who gets the profits? The losses? The glory? and teh Blame?
She'd agree.

In my business, its all on me. The good, the bad and the ugly!

Results are what matters and Dolan don't got much. If your talking about making money? He's very good at it.

Why do you think it's so hard for us to get fair trades in the past. Not talking about the Melo trade though.
