At what point does Dolan realize Mills is the problem?

Our FO put together a garbage roster heading into this season and everyone knew it except for the FO themselves. Now the FO wants to ax Fiz ten games into the season. Not to absolve Fiz in all this but c'mon. That's a raw a deal if he's out of here before Thanksgiving.

Julius Randle is our best player.
Marcus Morris is our second-best player.
We don't have a playmaker or true point guard on the roster.

How does any basketball professional believe this team has a chance at fighting for a playoff spot? Vegas laughed at the notion. Fans weren't fooled. The media killed us over the summer. Only the FO is out here patting themselves on the back at the underwhelming core they built this summer.

I think Fiz gets fired if we get blown out by Dallas on Thursday on national tv


Nothing would be more entertaining than beating DAL again on Thursday, and then firing him afterwards anyway. :lol:

Total rich guy, none of you matter, evil laugh moment.

BINGO

Everyone else is always the problem. It's the coaches they decided to hire. It's the players they decided to bring here.

Never the people who actually made the decisions.

It's a wonderful day.

i wonder what his reaction will be with him on the hot seat ? if it was me and i felt thrown under the bus, i would be playing who i really thought would help no matter what i was told and bench whoever i didn't. fiz has a lot of good will around the league, people like him, he doesn't need to play the good soldier to maintain his employability in the nba. i wonder if he'll go out swinging ? or is he even aware of what the problems with the roster are ?


So basically, will he bench Randle or not?

Everything awkward about the usage of the roster so far traces back to keeping Randle in the SL.


that's the main one. playing portis at all. bothering to try to fix dennis. a number of little things.


Prepare for Elfrid to play 48 mins a game when he's back (if Fiz makes it that long)

The honest answer is potentially never. This man rehired Isiah Thomas after EVERYTHING had gone down. There is no line with Dolan if you're his guy, and Mills seems like he just might be one of them.

Mike Miller is the only guy on the staff that wasn’t hired by Fiz right? I can’t imagine any of those guys have a secret playbook that they’re withholding from Fiz.

Chris Iseman just said in his Reddit AMA that he doesn't get the sense Mills is going anywhere anytime soon.

Doesn’t matter who we hire. It’ll be the same ****. Rotten from the top down unless Dolan sells but we’ve been through this a million times.

Not mad even a little that KD & Kyrie chose the Nets. Same for KP for asking to be traded. This is a clown franchise.

I brought up this scenario before, but if RJ asks to be traded 3-4 yrs for now, it’s more of an indictment of this organization. These clowns in the front office fkd up the KP trade which set us back. And completely laid an egg in free agency.

Fiz sucks too don’t get me wrong. But this roster is ass.

So, according to wiretap, Knicks planning on pursuing Uriji again. There go our draft choices. There have got to guys near the end of their contract that they can pursue.

mills only really has 1 year left after this if that info is correct. easy to fire.
fiz has 2 more. he's already fired
perry is the guy with most money owed. 3 more years. they could move him in to an assistant's role though.

I mean, it all goes back to Dolan in the end

If you want to be successful as an owner, you have to be able to hire good people, which Dolan never has. Yeah, he has no problem with spending money, but if you can't hire someone who knows what they're doing and trust them, there's no point
