If you don't think Dolan's been talking to these people for months I've got a bridge to sell you lol.

As much as it pains me to say it...I really do hope that the Knicks flourish under the leadership of Rose...for obvious reasons.

Honestly I dont know how to feel about this.

Yes he checks off the box in terms of future free agency as he is well known in player circles.

But what about drafting ability? Trade negotiations? Management? Attention to personnel? Player Development?

We are constantly put in a position where we have to speculate how our front office will do instead of hiring someone with a proven track record that checks all the boxes...

This abusive relationship continues...?
