As for Dolan pushing Walsh to get a Melo deal done I dont have a big problem with that. Dolan understands Melo is a good investment for the Garden and the Knicks on a ton of levels. Whats wrong with an owner telling a GM that he wants a certain guy? As I have said 100x its all about costs.
Why is Walsh not being extended a bad thing? This is a big wait and see... right now its a non issue. If it becomes clear Walsh is being pushed out we can deal with that when it happens.
I believe Dolan is squeezing Donnie to get a deal done. Which, okay, the deal Broussard is pitching is a no-brainer. But you have to believe Denver will need more. Which Donnie will be hesitant to do, rather than add Melo essentially for free this summer. That's where we see if Dolan can be a little patient or if he wants his new toy NOW NOW NOW. If Dolan gets too impatient here, I think Donnie is the one who takes the fall if it doesn't get done.
If the Knicks don't get Melo and lose in the first round, I'm sure Isiah and CAA will be in Dolan's ear that even Isiah got to the first round and lost. Yes, I think Dolan is that stupid.
