"I like hiring Rose, its gonna work, cuz it can't get any worse......Right???" LOL
I think that was the mantra with phil and Mills. Eventually something will work.

For me, understanding that you have to think with Leon coming in, who I know personally, I think things are going to trend upward,” he said. “I love Leon to death, he’s a great dude, great person, and a really good business man. So for him, I think things are going to start going in the right direction when he gets in there.”

Never heard any player say that about any president we ever had.

I honestly have not heard a single negative thing about Leon, it's been 100% all good.

He actually may have the longest tenure since (god know;s who)

The sense is also that he will be methodical in his approach. He is probably gonna be opposite of Isiah Thomas. Knowing how much you disapproaved of Mills and Perry for being conservative in trades. Would you be accepting of that approach by Rose?

Mills and Perry Never had the reputation,connections, relationships with 30 GMs, negotiation skills, or experience to do the things that Leon has done.

They felt that because they were an all back FO with a likable coach, players would look at that has a +.

So if Rose decides to take a methodical approach you would be cool with it?

Being methodical to me means making calculated moves, balancing your roster, getting guys that fit, weather that's a veteran, super star, young star, young role player, old role player.

The 2 best things about rose is that he knows how to make deals and people genuinely like him. I can add 10 other attributes that will help him succeed in his role, but his resume speaks for itself.

So how about we see when there is something to see? So far we have a written statement. In the mean time piss off

It'd nit trolling if it's backed up with data. We fire people every two years.

You realize the egregious offense when you say "They felt that because" as if you know? You don't know how they are perceived by the other 29 GMs. You don't know their connections, skills. Two men who are educated and risen to accomplish executive roles over a long time and you accuse them of "black privelidge" in terms that that because of their race in a league with majority of black athletes they felt entitled?
Are you even cognizant of how ignorant that comes off? Now, your entitled to your opinion, which itself can be judged but to stand that and imply THAT which you said as if you know is really some bad stuff.

what are you living under a rock..damn dude do your freaking homework

Knicks president Steve Mills indicated having a pioneering predominately black front office will help the team in the upcoming free agency.

“The African American front office, that doesn’t get lost on guys,” Mills said in an article published Tuesday on The Undefeated, which deals with race issues.

After getting the job when Phil Jackson got canned, Mills hired GM Scott Perry, who is black, and player developmental director Craig Robinson, the brother of Michelle Obama. Also hired after Jackson’s firing was director of player personnel Harold Ellis and college scouting director Gerald Madkins. Both are African American.
