Don’t be surprised if Kenny Smith is our Gm and Mark Jackson is our coach. Suddenly screamin a smith doesn’t seem so crazy to me.

You know what...this could actually be a VERY VERY excellent move for the Knicks.

AGAIN. The caveat being Jimmy Dolan stays out of the way...although we all know he can't help himself.

lol see as a fellow United fan we understand the pull of super agents

Carmine aka Mino BEEN pulling power moves. Just did it with Erling Haaland.
SMH

SMH

What a fat f*cking prick lol.

BUT if Rose works out for NY the way Raiola works out for his own clients, this is a super win for NYK if Dolan takes a back seat (any other owner, I would be VERY worried about how good the Knicks are going to be after this). I really feel for yall lol.

It cant get worse for NYK. The NBA is moving in the direction of super agents running the show and it has been moving this way for some time.

Great stuff.

They helped with the Melo trade, wasting the amnesty on Billups so we sign Chandler, Chris Smith

"You see how guys from CAA are treated differently," one anonymous Knicks player told ESPN New York's Chris Broussard. "How they get away with saying certain things to coaches. How coaches talk to them differently than they talk to the other guys. It's a problem."

You can’t have an opinion on the hire?

Everyone has to be ra-ra?

You can’t be naive to know what they are attempting to do. They are swinging for the fences. This wasn’t built in to rebuild. This crew is brought my into reshape the franchise right away.

They are going star hunting and I don’t believe we are ready for that. We aren’t in a position to acquire the the towns/booker and to a significant lesser extant d-lo’s of the world.

This was an image changing move. You don’t agree?

You can have an opinion but it's uninformed. The point is we have no idea what Rose is going to be like in this role.

You're jumping to conclusions that have no basis to them. I also noticed you picked Mark Jackson instead of JVG and Thibs which shows what bias your leaning towards...

Sure it's an image changing move but are you going to sit there and really tell me after the disaster of a season we've had we don't need an image change?

JVG, thibs, and callipari aren’t the right coaches for us either. Mark Jackson is just the worst of the bunch.

We need to build not names!

That's Isola throwing chit at a wall. Again we don't know who the hell they are going to consider?

Also are you going to sit there and really tell me that Cal and JVG don't know how to handle young kids?

JVG has coached basically a team of g-leaguers for the US Select team to qualify for the olympics. Cal's work in the college ranks speaks for itself.

If he was trying everything he would have waited until the offseason to get a reputable executive like Sam Presti. This is another Hacky attempt at hiring his friends to powerful positions.

We could’ve but trade deadline and all.

because he's an unknown in this position, nobody can really know if this will work or not. that's the panic. i understand why they are. i'm just not gonna pre-game my disappointment. it doesn't serve any purpose except to get yourself upset. he hasn't made a move yet.

I hear you bro...but I just dont agree with that...IF Dolan didnt have the Rangers success on his resume then I might agree...

This is gonna be our culture. Placating to the stars of the team where meritocracy is replaced by who’s demanding the most salary.

Will you defend them if Mark Jackson is hired?

The better question is will you not pre-judge them before they make a move?

True that man! It's an interesting hire. It is to change the perception of Knicks as a franchise. Makes sense!

From making basketball decisions, the GM will be another hire. But Perry won't be there it seems like. Hence, the critical thing would be to see who the GM will be. But all said and done, I think this is a power move.

He's an unknown, but it's not a good look

He could be good. Could be the next Bob Myers. I'm pretty nervous about him, but I'll wait till I see what he does before judging him

This nightmare doesn't end until Dolan sells the team.

Cal can recruit. He has always been a lackluster coach. This isn’t Jay Wright we are talking about here.
