Dolan's deep pockets are part of the problem.
Knix throw money at everything, looking for shortcuts, instead of patiently building an organization and chemistry.   For both front office and roster.  It's always about bringing in a flashy marketable name.

Simply, hands-off Dolan isn't enough if you put idiots in charge.
(Phil wasn't an idiot, just a dinosaur looking to cash in on Dolanbucks)

Completely agree - but I'd rather have a deep pocketed owner than a cheap one (see NY Mets)...

But here's the real problem, Mills & Perry obviously sold Dolan on Plan B and when the shit went south they hung Fizzy out to dry to save their asses. A guy that they hand-picked! Not that the idiot didn't deserve it, but this team lacks talent at almost every position and that's on Mills/Perry.

We are rebuilding, we are young, we were expected to be terrible.

Mike Miller is now in a very unenviable position of having to save Mills & Perry with a shit roster. Working for these rats has to be unsettling knowing Mills will shove a dagger up your ass at any point. Pretty sure he would be hailed as a hero across the NBA if he said "thanks, but no thanks" and walked away.

Dolan has taken his lumps over the years for being a meddling asshole but I've always appreciated his deep pockets and apparent desire to try and build a winner.... more recently it even appears he's been hands off too..but if Mills survives this fucking disaster then ALL of this falls on Dolan again and he deserves to be vilified by all.

Mills has proven to be nothing but a corporate suit whose only skill is survival. Dolan is somehow blindly loyal to a fault but he can't be this stupid anymore.

Like Melo KP got a bit more cash and weakened his future team's draft prospects.  Did he not?

That team is pretty damn good already.. and who the f*** wouldn't want to play with Luca Brasi and KP going forward

What part about how he wanted out doesn't everyone understand?

What part of he didn't go into that meeting demanding a trade and you didn't have to trade him that second regardless do you not understand?


*** In any case, one smart m'fer....

I understand not demanding a trade and still wanting out are the same thing. PJ fucked the relationship with KP, KP's brother had some fucked up demands, the guy was injured, tons of shit happened along the way and its relatively clear to me that KP wanted to move on.

All things considered we got 2 first rounders, DSjr (yes we know how you feel) and got rid of Lee and Hardaway's contracts. Mills was the genius behind giving Hardaway $70M+ in teh first place. Schmuck! (Mills not you). Also, the longer we waited I'm pretty sure the less we would have been offered considering the injury. If he had stayed on, I'm pretty sure, given our luck, he would've stepped in a hole at the garden and been out another year. 

All in all what I'm coming around to is we are young, we are going to get our teeth kicked in every night and we'll continue to build from here.

What insults me is Mills & Perry stating this team as part of their Plan B was supposed to be competitive.

Knix gave up a 1st rounder to get Perry.
And gave him a 5 year contract.
Maybe it has a no-fire clause . . .

2nd round pick and cash

Given our history, it's breathtaking that we are still finding ways to hit new lows — but maybe we just needed this guy:

Scott Perry hasn’t been a part of a front office with a winning record in 13 seasons, which seems almost impossible ....

I'm hoping the delay in firing Fiz is just cause Dolan is consulting with the league as to who should caretake the front office after all three go...

Mills is and has been very much behind the demise of this franchise.

Yeah, Zinger can defend inside and shoot 3's.
Might work.

I still can't believe how everyone just shrugged when we traded KZ for crapola.  Or that he's gone.

What part about how he wanted out doesn't everyone understand?

"This is the first time in Knicks history — a history that dates to 1946 — they have lost by 30 or more points in back-to-back games. Think about that for a second. They are actually three games worse than last year’s team, a team whose unstated mission was to finish as close to 0-82 as humanly possible. This time, we are told, they are trying."

I'd rather watch reruns of the Golden Girls than this revolting team.

Truly Fucking Pathetic.

Does Dolan let this Front Office get to Dec 15th?

Given this is Mills team and coach without excuses, maybe now Dolan sees Mills for what he really is... a useless POS

Could be the ugliest loss of the season tonight

This is our college football version of Rutgers playing Ohio State

4-16 and falling fast...tied for worst record in the NBA.

I still think Fiz is toast 15 games under .500

Mills cannot be made to have his Plan B look this bad --- even though this is the result of incompetent decisions by an utterly useless piece of shit.
