Jeff Bezos needs to stop with the cockeyed Lex Luthor, billionaire propogandist bull, and buy this team.

Mavs for me. Love Luka lol


Stay. It will get better once Mills is gone. but if you're going, go North. TOR is a fun team to root for and their fans are as mental as we are.

I always adopt a few teams during the season that pique my interest. Out west it's DAL / PHX / SAC and in the East it's TOR / ATL.


I love Luka and I wish I could be a fan of someone else. But I can’t do it haha. I’m always gonna be a Knick fan. It’s my punishment for being a giants and Yankees fan. I’ve witnessed my championships and historic runs with those teams.
I’m subject to a life of misery as a Knick fan but that is ok. This is my path

Maybe we can hire Stephen A Smith to kill Dolan and Mills.

Yea, but how many picks are we going to lose for interviewing/hiring him?

Would it matter? The Raps roster is comprised of players that weren't drafted, or were drafted late.

every day people are complaining about fiz. talking about how he needs to go. well now it looks like he is.

don't worry, the front office's time is coming too. they hired that coach, they picked these players, they need a miracle now to keep their jobs. they're just not being fired now but it's likely coming sometime between the end of this season and the end of the season after.


I don’t like fiz at all but these two dummies (mills and perry) blaming fiz for this is complete BS. This is an extremely flawed roster. They met randle and Portis on the first night of FA. They wanted they bums.

If anything they handed a bad coach a terrible hand to play with.


they also hired the coach. that's the thing about firing a coach you hired, you're admitting you f*cked up and you weaken your position. if the knicks still lose a lot this year, that's another red mark. next year looks similar and it's just about over.


You think they are given another offseason? No way am I doing that. They would get reckless trying to keep there jobs.

Like you said mills is Teflon but they can easily move him to more business side. He has no business making player personnel decisions.

I see it like this they plan of firing fix over the next couple weeks. If the team continues to stink for the rest of the year they have no excuse and they all should be fired.


They basically don’t get the right to hire a second coach. This isn’t there guy if he fails they all fail they are connected.


I want a new president to hire the GM and coach of this choice. Enough of this Bs

We always go for "established and proven". That's why we fail. We need to be innovative and represent the future with new talent, not recycle older out of prime coaches and executives.

We need great management, that's the key. It feels like Donnie Walsh was the only competent manager we've had, but he was overruled by Dolan and forced to change his vision to accommodate Melo.

At this stage we need to find fresh, new talent to lead the way.

Dolan is the problem to the degree that he retained Mills after Jackson's firing, and made him the President / GM - and then Mills signed Hardaway to that awful deal.

Mills has done nothing to warrant him remaining involved on the basketball side in any capacity.

The Knicks and the drama that circles around the franchise. If anyone can fall beyond the floors of hell itself, only the Knicks know how.
