You're wrong. At least competing for a championship will make them more money.

But will take years of real rebuilding first with no big name players to sell jerseys and bring in money. Cablevision has stockholders to answer to throughout the world who aren't going to tolerate a decrease in their stock for the next three years so that the Knicks can rebuild.

Give me a break with the freakin' jersey sales already!!!
That is so old. You think the Knicks make more money from selling Marbury's jersey
than from selling out the garden and having a national tv station actually show their
games on prime time TV? Don't be ridiculous!!

Besides I guarantee their stupid jersey sales are down this year, if that's their
big interest.

Jersey sales were an example of endorsement money (the more general issue). Sales will be down this year, which is why Isiah's job is in jeapordy. If a new GM can get this team to the 1st round like Isiah did his first year, the garden will sell out, endorsement money will be sky high, and Dolan will be fully satisfied.
