If they get bounced in the first round again, D'antoni is fired. Don't know if that helps or hurts but the more decisions Dolan is compelled to make the better it will be for us.
Overall there's just too much out there to worry about with Dwight to feel comfortable. Didn't he say at one point that he didn't want to go to any cold weather cities?
I am in 100% agreement that this is best situation for him. Obviously DW is a huge part of that but also Brook is a huge asset we could move for a wing player that would balance our roster to make runs at multiple championships. Just impossible to know if sees it that way or not.
Thanks...and I know where you have been coming from. I dont think you have been wrong...i just havent wanted to settle for middle of the road by just using up the cap space as you have outlined in several of your posts. And I really believe that part I said about stars want stars...so i think Deron staying is more likely if we can sign someone else who is great vs. we can make slight improvments this season and it costs us 2012 cap room because we took on multi year contracts this summer.
Look...either way...this is going to be tough. We are going to need some luck here. I hope...should King sign guys this summer that he has a a legit S&T plan to go with it for later in the season....you know if there is one...lol.
