if dolan steps down, everything else will fall in line.

This guy is a complete idiot. I once heard him on the radio with Mike & the Mad Dog and he can't even put a coherent sentence together. He's an alcoholic who only is where he is because you can't choose your parents and he lucked out. I think Daddy Dolan moved him out of Cablevision over to the Garden to get him out of his hair.

He sat with the press yesterday and the Times guy who was there said that Dolan showed little remorse about the Knicks' plight and couldn't offer a cogent description of Thomas' strategy, other than to say it involved a blend of youth & maturity. Dolan is clueless

Checketts left because Dolan moved over from the cable tv stuff and he didn't like Dolan playing in his sand box. Then again, the current Knicks mess was started on Checketts watch when he traded Ewing for all those bad contracts: Rice, Longley et al. It has been a spiral they haven't been able to get out of. Subsequently trading for McDyce, Marbury and on and on and on.

Checketts wasn't even around for the Ewing trade. I think Dolan might have forced that one too, and the trade itself wasn't great, but at least we got a couple of draft picks to go with it, which we later traded away for freaking Othella Harrington and Erick Strickland or Mark Jackson. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal nice job fellas.
