This has nothing to do with the fan base.


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.


So a few chants lead to a regime change? Great. so we can get Rose fired by next season when we’re the 10th seed in the east lead by d’angelo russell if we just btch enough.

We don’t know how it will turn out but we sure as hell know the direction. Just look at BVW.

These guys don’t take a huge pay cut (he will make less as a president then an agent) to sit around and build and wait. They want results.


Quick results will come with trading picks for guys they know. Find CAA clients and expect trades. It’s obvious.

Interesting

I really don't like what it looks like we're doing, but if the plan is to get a good GM to do what Rose wants in a smart way, it could work

But I don't think they've earned the benefit of the doubt

Can you cite instances where these connections worked for an agent turned GM that attracted stars?

Maybe I’m missing something

I don't know about nothing bad happening. Sounds like Mills was about to make some bad deals.

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.


I wish I shared ya optimism brother. Hopefully you are right.

I’m not totally against the former agent strategy. It kinda makes sense when you think about it since a heavy portion of President job is PR and networking. With this arrangement though you especially need a strong #2 guy. Is that Perry? I haven’t been too impressed with Perry’s ability to build rosters and fit pieces together.

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


Exactly so why continue to support the team? Some of you are miserable I swear!

it's not bait. i never cared about frank or knox's minutes. the 2 guys who have value, because they're good, mitch & rj were treated like they were good. the other ones weren't.
