Just wondering how delusional fans are about Rose actually succeeding under James Dolan.

Sorry if this seems negative, but as long as fans keep buying into the every 2, 3 years "We need your patience, here is a new shiny boss" con that James Dolan has been running for twenty years, then I feel the need to paste it.

First and foremost what is the plan? Then hire based on the job description. For all we know he has someone that blows him away and he could be a retread or has yet to head coach in the NBA. Because of his lackluster history I thought Joe Torre when hired to coach Yankees was a bad idea. I was wrong obviously.
I though Don Nelson when replaced Riles was a star phuch. It was, reason is he was not suited to the roster for what he wanted to do. We exiled him for all the wrong reasons!
Typical knicks,, good idea bad execution. Knicks were poised to be high octane team. not with Ewing. Pat was cooked by 1999 and improbable run to finals gives JVG big extension. That don’t happen Grunwald hires an uptempo coach.
Issue is not intention, its the execution. Let’s hope Leon has the room to be independent from Dolan long enough to succeed. If not, Dolan will likely interfere. He did with Phil and like Nellie wanted Ewing gone for the greater good Dolan sided with this star, he did similar with KP. Timing is everything and Dolan just seems to be on wrong side of the clock.


The two names recently mentioned for the gm job were Ryan West and Bobby Webster. Both guys are young, bright guys. He certainly could follow in Phil’s shoes and get his guys paid but we won’t know until it happens.

Issue might be more 76ers were wrong to hire him in the first place. He was a bit inexperienced. Ball players can hit a ceiling in their careers much because of age. GM’s learn thru experience and each decision presented has its own circumstances. IF Brand is intelligent, knowledgeable and motivated I think should be considered. I’d want to know his part in Bringing in Jimmy Butler and his part to not retaining him. PHilly’s ownership is very hands on. I’d want to know their influence.
The notion of a philly connection is tired. Is everyone from philly a candidate for a Leon hire/signing? Is every former client one also?

Was this an April Fool's day joke?
