This is my conclusion.
With Dolan's insistence on keeping Isiah, it is now finally clear he does not care about winning and knows little about the game of basketball. He just prefers personal relationships with people over whatever the results are on the court. He did the same thing with Sather, except the Rangers had some luck with the CBA and the fact that they actually rebuilt under a championship GM. The same thing wont happen to Isiah. If he ever decides to fire him, it will be too late.
The franchise is already irrelevant at this point. In 10-15 years, nobody will be "dying" to work at the Garden and no free agent is going to want to sign here(we wouldn't have the cap room anyway). The Knicks are headed down a path of failure not even the great Donald Stirling could think of. The Knicks will be more irrelevant than the Clippers soon. It's going to happen eventually. The demise of such a great franchise at the hands of a fat egomaniac who has had everything given to him on a silver platter his entire life. What a sad way for a once-proud franchise to go out. Red Holzman and Dave Debuscherre are rolling over in their graves.
here is what I will add... on one hand we all hate Dolan for obvious reasons.
On the other hand, he is the perfect owner: No cap to spending, hires a GM/Pres and lets him do what he pleases.
Now, Dolan obviously chose the wrong guy in Isiah, but if West, Colangelo or Walsh has the same free will as Isiah has had, I have no complaints (except for the dumbass media policy).
