why? All Dolan has done is pout $$ into the Knicks team. His one bad thing - monumentally bad thing - was sticking with Isiah.

Phoenix Suns Should Let Amar'e Stoudemire Go, and Go After a Big-Name Free Agent (Like Dirk Nowitzki)

If they give him maximum money, they would be handuffed financially for the remainder of Steve Nash's career -- and we do want to see Nash in an NBA Finals before it's all over for him.

Phoenix Suns: No Amar'e Stoudemire, No Problem

You see this is the basics you got out of Nash and Amar'e. Nash draws all the attention on himself, leaving Amar'e wide open, dishes the great pass to Amar'e as he goes up for the dunk, nails the jumper or whatever. Richardson could easily take that role upon himself and be the go to guy for Steve Nash.

ny can be in a similar egg on face moment if chandler walks for free.

man I've gotten KILLED for saying that over the years. Dolan is a DREAM OWNER if (A BIG IF) he has the right general manager and coach in place. People bad mouth Checketts and Grunfeld but they spent his money and kept us relevant for years. It didn't work because of Pats wrist injury (changed everything & shortened Pat's career).

Walsh is proof that with the right people doing the thinking and making the decisions Dolan is OK in my book. Even love the pimp slap he's putting down on the Russian.

Thank Stern for the idea of Dolan hiring Walsh. All the Donnie is sleeping jokes aren't so funny now huh? People were yelling for him to act sooner and make something happen but he kept to his patient style and made the right moves. Now he's got to finish the job and make the best deal possible for this franchise. He's so close to completing his plan.

Well like they say, adequate sleep is vital for proper brain function.

that article is pretty much what you'll be hearing out of all the Nuggets fans' mouths if their management lets Melo walk w/o getting anything back in return.
