I’m willing to give it a shot. I mean, it’s only one way we can go and it’s up at this point anyway.

I don’t hate this; Leon Rose is one of the top player agents in the league; should help in FA

My one concern would be scouting department, hopefully he brings in the best of the best

NY Knicka wrote: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...?


why wouldn't he have these skills or understanding of them given his role? i think it's been his job for a long time to know who is good at what, communicating, delegating...

he probably knows more about what's going on than a lot of folks we consider.

my concern would be how this translates to the role of POBO as a leader of an individual franchise in general.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

Man stop that sh*t.

The owner doesn’t have patience not the fans.

The fans wanted this built right after one offseason Dolan was like what stars are you getting me to f*cl me in the ass?

How you turn you can’t chase the night because it’s late and bad things happen when you’re trying to find the next party badly into something bad is beyond me.

The fact that nerd ass Bill couldn’t put two and two together is hilarious.

it certainly does. nothing really bad was happening this year. we were sucking and getting another high pick. but because frank wasn't getting 35 minutes a game you all threw a sh*t fit and yelled sell the team.

Just have to hope they know what they are doing, can come up with a good plan and it all works out. Really, nobody knows how this will work out for sure.

Knicks fans are the most negative fans. Yes this move looks strange but there’s nothing good that comes out of being negative. Only thing we can do is hope for the best. But that’s foreign to some of you I guess!

It could be a good thing, or it could be Phil Jackson POBO toxicity. This is the Knicks, where nothing good happens.
