Dolan: I created the first all black Front office. I'm with Isiah. I'm good! Im going with Masai Ujiri!
Mills: What? Why?
Dolan: Actually, your not black "enough"! Ujiri from Africa, Perry here, his father broke barriers! You, you kinda just played ball at Princeton and hung out with Blatt.
Mills: What about Craig Robinson? His brother in law is OBAMA!
Dolan: Kinda proves my point.
Mills: Yeah, I suppose.
Dolan: Steve, don't feel bad, it was a good run, your wealthy, you will no doubt get a job at the league office or with the union. I actually like you, but Scotty here has ideas, new ideas, and we gonna do things differently.
Mills: That new publicist, this a part of it?
Dolan: Of course it is. Steve, your the smartest guy in the room. The losing sucks but the young guys are coming along, the Fiz thing was not really your fault, it just sort of happened, but fact is its my team and well I hate being boo'd in my building. Someone has to take the blame. Fans are stupid. They want this! Its either your or me.
Mills: that's cold!
Dolan: That's real.
Mills: but if they knew the truth about you......If you could just explain
Dolan: Steve, that's not how it works, you knew that when Hired you. TWICE! Your wealthy, go enjoy your life, really, your great!
perry: Im always grateful for what you did for me.
Mills: You know how it ends for you, right?
Perry: yeah, Im GM to Ujiri and make 10x more than I did before I came here. Then Ujiri fires me in three years. I'm totally fine with it! I'll buy a bar in Key west. I'm golden.
Mills: I'll call Adam Silver.
Dolan: That's the spirit Steve, who knows, in a few years, we can do this again! Look at Herb? You can be my new Herb!!
