That's likely true. Just dissapointed that after all this years it feels like we hired back Isiah Thomas and added Scott Layden to the front office.
If you are a Knick fan as long as you claim to be, them disappointing should be common place by now.
You know in real life you usually get held accountable for what you do etc. I think it just riles me up the wrong way that a franchise like the Knicks is being held hostage by an owner that has no clue, by an idiot like Mills as the FOBO and absolutely zero accountability. After the series of mistakes the Knicks commited over the last 17 years---a regime change happens and just one week later we are back at square one where the replacement significantly overpays for mediocre talent and then proceeds to hire a guy that just handed Orlando its worst stretch as a franchise.
You are clearly allowing a bias to cloud your perspective, it's battered fan syndrome, a sort of ptsd and while it isn't unjustified, it surely isn't mentally healthy.
By the way, Perry wasn't the final say in Orlando, he was an assistant who's purview was negotiating trades, not drafting or even the final say on the players involved in the trades, just the contact guy who had to report to and do the bidding of the GM. He hasn't had full control in any of his previous front office positions and it appears he won't get it with the Knicks either which is unnerving to say the least but how much remains to be seen.
Although to lay the whole blame on him in saying he handed a franchise as if it were completely his doing is undoubtedly skewed. If you are going to use that measure then you have to give him the same level of credit for a title in Detroit which would seems just as silly in my opinion. It seems he had more control in Sac for the short time he was there but still was just an assistant GM.
I didn't really like THjr that much before his drafting and was not impressed with his contributions while he was in NY that first time. Glad he was traded and not particularly excited by his time in Atl but his last 50 reg season games were good production though relatively a small sample size. If he can put up 15ppg on good efficiency adding a few rebounds and assists with some semblance of defensive energy his contract won't be as bad as some are predicting.
The Knicks might even be able to move it for assets in a couple years since with the cap increases it will look much better if he is producing but that isn't guaranteed because he's been inconsistent going back through his pro career to college with alternating up and down years.
Yes, there's little confidence instilled by this franchise under Dolan but being a perpetually disgruntled pessimist is no way to go through life about anything.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.
