look, I wish Layden and his family the best of health.

I also hope Layden gets fired. Know why? He's a terrible GM. He's ruined this team, and this team's immediate future.

Though Layden seems like a really good guy, he has failed several times over as the Knicks GM, and needs to go in time for us to get someone who can work the draft, so we don't have a repeat of the Ed Tapscott/Froggy Weis debacle.

But the REAL problem is Cablevision, specifically little man Dolan. Every business of theirs seems to be cursed. He cares NOTHING for basketball or winning a championship. I'm not being naive, here; I know this is a business, but even guys like Mark Cuban and Paul Allen want to win it all.

I think of that idiot used car salesman Wayne Heizinga (sic) who destroyed the Marlins. He didn't care that they were winning, and he was plotting their dismantling WHILE they were on their way to winning the World Series, because he couldn't figure out how to make money with the team. Guys like that should never get into professional sports to begin with. There has to be some real passion for winning and going all the way, to bring people to the games and give them a good time. This is how you profit. Pat Croce understood this when he took over in Philly (now he's gone; they're not so exciting anymore.) When Croce got the number 1 pick (he later used it for Iverson) he looked like he just won the Super Bowl. He was happy and he showed it. Dolans don't care, they just want some 1st or 2nd round playoff money.
