which kronke? I guess the son? Maybe its just two idiot sons of successful fathers planning a weekend in Vegas?

Maybe Dolan is going to send him a mini giraffe and some hookers?

Not exactly the right spelling but this comes to mind when I see "Kroenke":

"Its Jimmy D the straight shot and I want your Mello>>>>>!"

"These colluding stars are evil and its a trend we should buck"

"But Isiah told me to call and go all in cuz....Owner Kroenke.....

Maybe Dolan offered to add a halftime performance by JD and the Straight Shot to the offer for Melo

I dispute this story because technically Stan does not own the team anymore.

Based on what we know of Dolan, his negotiating skills, and basketball IQ, this has no chance of ending well.

Dolan is a moron but at least he's getting involved to try and make this happen sooner than later. At the end of the day it's the owners who are going to make or break the deal so I take it as a good sign that both parties are at least talking. BTW - Just because Dolan is inolved doesn't mean that half the team will get traded to make the deal happen.

It's bad news he's involved. It compromises Donnie. Sad, sad turn of events.

this is an isola story who has been basically blackballed by the entire knicks organization - where is he getting his sources from?

As one article said, everyone in the Knicks' organization wants to take credit for landing Melo if they can. So if Dolan gets involved and makes the trade, he can take credit, let Walsh go and either bring back Zeke or give Mark the keys. He should stay out of the picture and let Donnie do what he does best, what he was hired for...that which Thomas was clearly incapable of accomplishing.

wouldn't be surprised if Isiah advised Dolan to ring up Kroenke.


seriously though, walsh is playing a good chess game with the nuggets and dolan is stepping in screwing everything up; he's a loose cannon that seems to act on moronic impulses.
doesn't he realize that this is a win win situation if you just wait? we've made our offer with this 3 team deal so we just sit back and see if they bite and if it does, we get melo for a STEAL. if the nuggets balk, then we just pick up melo in the off season and keep our players.

melo has made it known that he wants to come to NY so why not just let sleeping dogs lay?

Yep.

Dolan is the worst owner is pro sports.

He's completely compromised Donnie's negotiating leverage - that the knicks can just wait until the summer and get Melo for free. It's also a shocking EFF YOU from Dolan to Donnie. Well, maybe not that shocking considering the source.

What a ****ing idiot.

Dolan is doing the right thing. He should contact the other owner. Its not like he contacting the other GM he is leaving Walsh to do that. When owners usually get involved deals get done.
