Yes. You are right. Which is why no free agents have or ever will sign here.

The delusion here is amazing. Dolan is trending on Twitter. ESPN has national stories about it. The Ringer put up a video of Sell the Team.

Free agents 100% care about Spike Lee and what he means. The facts that you "ride or die" types don't see how bad this is for the Knicks is what's sad.

Not saying it doesn't hurt the Knicks. They are held to a higher standard in the media, meaning they get more media attention. But free agents in July absolutely do not care what happened between Dolan and Spike Lee in march. Unlike us "ride or die" types if that's the category I fall into, you guys get sucked into the media crap way too much. That's your category I guess. You call it delusion on my end. I call it caring way too much about smut on your end.

You think Espn is going to say no to a spike i5 minutes (the famous knick fan everybody knows)rant on his own team..

Good take and I agree with most of it. Dolan just makes it all worse.
Repair strategy:

Leon calls Spike and asks him to dinner. Set the rules, no media, will be apologetic, won't breath a word to anyone it occurred. "Man to man we can talk about what i'd like to do with the team. Can't breath a word to press we have this. You a super fan and I feel awful what happens on my first day. No publicity. That's on you. Im just going to let it go as will Jim. He regrets the whole thing". Knicks will say one thing and it comes from Rose: "we value our long relationship with all fans and regret any miscommunication regardless of the circumstances. We take the safety of our fans and employees and security could have been more sensitive to the moment. We can understand why a patron would be upset". That's it.
Didn't we have one of our guys here go to a game with his ailing father and the team was amazing to him? There are good stories too!
Leon has an opportunity to but in all likelihood the best thing is to just let it die.
