The "SELL THE KNICKS CHANT" was the final straw for mills ( i said he was on his way out a long time ago) it was meant for DOLAN but Mills built the team, and you know Dolan ( gotta listen to this sht in my own building in front of me)

Perry had very little to do with building this roster, which is why he didn't get fired (I said that before) I'm sure he had some input, about as much as Mills had with phil and his moves

Perry has 48 hrs to make that power move that can elevate his status in the game, or he can sit on his hands and be petrified of the raft of dolan and do nothing, he can trade all his good players and go backwards again, he can get rid of the low IQ, low work ethic players and move forward

I don't care what it is as long as he's increasing the talent and getting some balance to this misfit roster..For the right deal, no one is safe

You have a weak draft, and weak FA class coming up, you got assets, draft picks, expiring contracts....what the hell you going to do, whats the PLAN

ONCE AGAIN a MAJOR part of the front office is canned, and we get a fckng MeMO (largest market in the world, and a loyal fan base)..no press conference...funny stuff

I don't need a press conference every time someone is let go.
What's there to say? It only invites questions and focuses on the past.
Knicks need to purge Mills bad vibes and the less that's said about him the better.

Maybe for us die hards we don't need an explanation seeing that It happens so frequently, it's like another day in the office...

Functional organization have a press conference, they don't just leave the interim coach to answer the 150 questions tha going to fired at him, that's usually the GM's job..smh

If Ujiri really is on Dolan's radar it might already be too late.

Throwing Knox out there for 30 minutes simply exposes him, and possible retards his growth.

I honestly believe we're just a couple pieces away from being good - granted, those are big pieces we need.

Because he’s not good enough to be a good teams best player. Our young guys are not developing, whether they like him or not. He’s 30 and his trade value is at an all time high, plus he’s a free agent. We can always retain him again over the Summer, if the Knicks cream themselves over him that much.

Knicks1248 is right. Perry has 48 hours to save his job. At minimum, trade Morris. At the very best, see what you can get for Randle as well.

No - Morris isn't good enough to be a good teams best player. I look at finding players 1 through 8. He's not a good teams 1, but he can be a 3/4, just like Randle.

We need to find a 1 & 2. No doubt, very hard to do.

But trading Randle and Morris just means we have to replace them, and means you are looking to find players for 1-4 instead of just 1 & 2.

My hope is RJ is our #2. That means - the draft this summer, FA - trying to find a 1.

At least nothing big

More than ever, Dolan has veto power on significant salary moves like taking on point guard D’Angelo Russell’s $117 million contract as the point guard star of the future. The sense is Mills — not Perry — pushed for Russell.

Besides his Track record is far from impressive, and i rather leave it to the professionals.

He's more than likely done by the end of the season, so why would Dolan allow him to make trades..If anything Doaln is the one doing the negotiation, and do you really want that.

The most he might do is trade DSJ or frank

Why isn't there a baseline understanding that all owners have power? Every team. Smarter owners hire smart folks and walk away, but they stay involved to some degree

Every owner.
