I like Dipo, but let's see him make it back first.

Dolan making a rap record?

That what Steve Stoute is for.

Thats right. When I hear that this guy or that guy the Knicks hired is really connected, makes me want to throw up. We heard this about Mills, Phil, among other past Knicks execs. I want to see results. Right now its all bull****.

OK i see it's next offseason. ESPN had him listed as UFA this summer.

Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

Another question. What the **** did Phil Jackson know about basketball?

It's a player's league, right?
We suhuck massively huge donkey kong drafting in the very recent past. Yes or no?
Not tired of doing the tank jerk off over the draft every year while winning 30 games yet? Yes or no?

Toronto wasn't giving us Ujiri without a much worse forced shower rape then Rose is possibly going to give other teams in negotiations.


If nothing else, we have Melo locked in for a farewell tour three years from now. [Relax Nalod, see the sarcasm smilies?]

The Post reported Dolan wanted to move fast to have someone in place by season’s end to direct a coaching search.

"reports" of his hire. No official word. Its likely leaked to help over reactive fans who jump to conclusions on incomplete data and perpetuate on social media false ignorant anger. Know anyone like that?

Or.....its a conspiracy!!!

I don't like this...seems like a reptition of the Phil Jackson mess with no triangle. The main reason guys like Pelinka and Myers worked is cuz they were eased into it, going from player agent to a president is way to big of a step.

When you read a blog, about a something like that you cannot automatically assume anything. Its probable as it was the day he was hired. Its why he was named "Interim" head coach.

Here, I'll be nice: The word Interim defined

in or for the intervening period; provisional or temporary.

It also stands to reason that Perry whose contract was tied to Mills will likely not be retained. I don't know that nor pretend to either.
Often the new guy wants his guy as you likely know. I'd like to see our guys do well and succeed. I would hope they can be retained by the new president and put in a position to do well but he will have to make that choice.

Right now they are a damn good team with Lebron, but what about in the long run? When you look at all the other good teams I feel like there is a clear vision for them to continue their success in the future that you don't see with the Lakers.

The Future is Bright!

Wasn't Leon Rose Magic Johnson's agent back in the day?

Getting in good with an agency and doing favors for agents is not how you build a team.

It’s how you hamstring a coach and end up making jr smiths brother a millionaire

The best thing i can say is we didn’t have to give up picks to get Masai

Now Leon can give up those picks to acquire washed up CAA clients who can come to NyK and increase their brand appeal while taking us to the 8th seed.

Randle is a CAA client so he’s going no where.

CAA is what matters now. Not team building.
