Go ahead let Knicks continue to do whatever they want while we enjoy the circus it's Dolan's money and fans who continue to pay premium for bad product so they deserve this.

The Knicks’ front office’s confidence that they had a playoff roster this year is as believable as Entourage setting E up with Sloan

Re: WOJ: Knicks president [Mills] angling for David Fizdale firing
Anyone just want some new and young analytical nerds for our FO and coaching? Why chase after some guys just because they have pro experience? I know it looks good, but they have a lot of failures too. And they probably just want a big contract from the Knicks feeling they already paid their dues in the NBA and now it's their turn to get paid.
Take Presti for example. He had Durant, Westbrooke, Harden, Ibaka, and only managed one Finals appearance. He couldn't do it in OKC, and we think he can do it in NYC? If he comes, it's only b/c of $$$.

Some quick lowlights:
He fought with management to the point that the owner said nobody in the building liked him.
He ran less of an offense than Fiz and had GSW playing as the worst passing team in the league by an almost historically large margin. I'm not talking about assists. They literally didn't pass. It was all ISO.
When Steph had surgery for his ankle, Mark Jackson had Steph come to his church and have the ankle "blessed". He then made Steph dance and shimmy on the ankle in front of the congregation even though he had re-injured it days before.
If that Steph story is true

Thibs is the first name I've heard on this issue that would be a certifiable upgrade.

Oh, it's true
He was waiting for an inbounds pass when Wesley Matthews crept up from behind to steal the ball. In the process, he kicked Curry’s right heel while the Warriors’ guard’s toe was planted, spraining his ankle again.
Two days later, several Warriors accepted Jackson’s invitation to attend his congregation. Jackson was the co-pastor of True Love Worship Center International in Van Nuys.
A part of the tradition at Jackson’s church was a spirited service including worshippers jogging along the walls of the congregation in praise. Curry, two days removed from his latest sprain, found himself taking laps with Jackson and the other members filled with the spirit. Then after Jackson’s sermon, his wife and co-pastor, Desiree, continued the worship with an impromptu sermon and benediction. She also called Curry to the altar.
They took off his shoes and socks, anointed his ankle with oil and prayed for healing. The parishioners lifted their voices in chants and amens, calling on God to bless one of His Christian ambassadors. Service at Jackson’s church was much more passionate and engaging than Curry was used to back in Charlotte. But he humbly accepted the blessing that was being offered and returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
“Where you going?” Desiree asked the star point guard in front of the congregation. Curry responded with his go-to look of bewilderment, a half smile and widened eyes. He thought he was supposed to return back among the flock when she was done.
“You don’t get a blessing from the Lord and just walk off!” she shouted. “Show us you believe in the power of God.”
It took Curry a second to understand what she meant. Then the old Bible stories rushed to his mind. Like when Jesus healed the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda, that man had to pick up his mat and walk. If he believed he was healed, he needed to show it.
So Curry started shimmying and hopping on his right foot, much to the delight of the congregation.
“I didn’t know what else to do,” Curry said.

Why would Silver step in?
I've seen this brought up before.
The Mets are different imo. On top of their dumb moves, I believe they were suffering financially. They weren't just sucking. So the MLB pushed Alderson on them.
Clippers were the Lakers' very little brother. And they had a racist owner.
So basically, I don't see why Silver will step in and help the Knicks. They are still the most valuable franchise. I think a team like the Hornet need it more tbh.
And part of me feels Silver has to hide his biased b/c he is a Knick fan.

Golden State was an awful franchise for years too. Then there is Mr. Jordan who I don't think has experienced a winning season since taking ownership of the franchise. If no one stepped in there, I can't see it happening anywhere at this time
