And we thought Mills was on his way out..
Instead he’s beefing up his staff

I mean, I like Blatt as a basketball mind. This is just a strange hire when you factor in the role and the timing.

Con: Steve Mills ties, a move to keep his job and still he still has the power to pull this kind of move and make Dolan spend his money

Pro: Blatt is a great basketball mind and he retired because he was seriously ill, hopefully this means he's doing better

This just reeks of Mills desperation and I think it means he's staying around after the season. I love that he's also already undermining Miller by doing this. Can Blatt even connect with NBA players? I know he had a good record with the Cavs but it be tough to screw up a team with Lebron on it.

How does Mills do it?
This guy Dolan is loyal to a fault

Knicks always keep you on your toes lol. What does this mean for the coaching position?

I like Blatt but this is BS. Why can’t we escape Mills. I give up. **** it

Way to undermine your rookie coach by bringing this guy in

I don't understand the implications, nor do I understand the reasonings for the hire. Im ambivalent yet curious. Real weird position.

This franchise is killing me man.

Wiffs on the kp trade, wiffs on the coaching hire, wiffs on Free Agency and this guy is still **** safe??

I dont think i can take anymore.

Blatt has retired from coaching

Nothing, at least relating to him actually coaching. He retired from coaching and he has MS so coaching is probably not gonna happen for him again. The fact that he's tight with Mills is the thing to be a bit wary on. Great basketball mind, but does this mean Mills is fine? That would be very bad.
