If Rose and co get their autonomy I see this working wonders for you guys. In European soccer, super agents own leagues. They pull strings and some of the biggest clubs in the world start dancing. They say jump and super successful, historic, billion dollar teams with basically an infinite bank account, ask how high.

IFFFFFFFFF Dolan lets him work, along with the allure of NY and MSG, Im a bit worried.


Thank you for your optimism. You are clearly not from around here. :D

AIiiiiight.

You know what...this could actually be a VERY VERY excellent move for the Knicks.

AGAIN. The caveat being Jimmy Dolan stays out of the way...although we all know he can't help himself.

Phil Jackson or Leon Rose? Both were/are novices in the POBO role, chances of success?

That was just Mills helping out a friend with MS.

Knicks will keep him to end of deal just so they don't look bad firing the sick guy.

Hiring Leon Rose signals that the Knicks are still going to look to the free agent market to build up the team. I think a more institutional culture change is needed rather than free agent hunting but I also don't think any cultural change can happen so long as James Dolan remains the owner.

All these media heads praised the phil jackson hire too. Not buying any of this. I wanted proven track record and culture building not connections to star players.

Ok, more action here. What does World Wide Wes do know, who are his clients, is he even any good as an agent anymore?

Dolan ain’t saying **** to Rose or Wes.

He will collect his paychecks and play his music at unsold venues.
