NYK '14 offseason thread

[don ramon]

still think it's kind of wild that trollan admitted he wasn't up to making proper basektball decisions. that's basically what he said

also the media seemed to press him on the ticket prices. he seemed to pause and think about his reply for a second, which made me feel he was all like "ok you guys win"

watch scumbag dolan raise the ticket prices anyway next season

 

[you go boy]

it doesnt even matter that he wont raise ticket prices because the ticket prices are rape to begin with... he just needs to lower it all together so the real fans can enjoy the game instead of having to settle for a utah or philly game

 

[redd spyder]

hopefully this is the turning point for us becoming a better franchise and not a laughing stock amongst the league... but most likely **** will blow up in our face and we will be back 2 square one... **** just seem to good to be true

@Al_Iannazzone: On ESPN NY FM, Jim Dolan said Phil has full power. If Jax said let Melo walk, Dolan said "It's his decision. That's my agreement with him."

@TommyBeer: “Phil would not be coming if he thought I was going to second-guess him.” - Dolan

 

[whodamanudaman]

Said it wouldn't be real for me til it was on ESPN.

Well...it's real now

and it feels goooood

All of a sudden Dolan becomes accessible to the media after always hiding.

He's so god damn proud of himself for hiring Phil Jackson, what an egomaniac

That's all I ever wanted to hear.

But I been here before. I'll believe it when I see it. There's nothing Dolan wouldn't do.

We'll let him have this moment. Just this one. (And maybe a chance to touch the chip if we...*dares not speak it*)

mother nature gotta cooperate and warm up the city for phil jackson

 

[don ramon]

get stephen a smith all the way outta here. have phil jackson send him back to philly

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Woj's new article on Phil and the Knicks. Some info on there.

Jackson plans to pursue Steve Kerr to come coach the Knicks. Jackson had convinced Kerr to come to Seattle as his coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports, only to have those plans foiled when a purchase agreement with the Sacramento Kings fell apart.

When New York Knicks executives chased free agents in the summer of 2010, owner James Dolan made himself a part of the presentations. He isn't the most engaging, enchanting man, but Dolan does fancy himself a musician. So, yes, there were player and agent meetings four years ago when Dolan delivered a parting gift on the way out of the room.

"He passed out copies of his CD," said a source, who stuffed his copy of one into a bag and no longer remembers where it's gone.

 

[you go boy]

listening to dolan talk is painful

 

[duba169]

Very hyped up but expecting the worst I just don't think he truly has 100% control or mills would be gone

well at the end of the day the team is owned by dolan, but they probably want to ride the rest of the season out. i'm sure they'll make heavy changes in the off season. 

they probably feel like steve mills hasn't had enough time to work his position effectively. in truth he hasn't, but i do hope they start fresh for next year

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I think Dolan is boys with Mills and he wants to keep him around in some capacity. Just seems like he cares about the dude from his comments to Michael Kay about thinking he can be an asset. We all know Mills doesn't have much acumen, but whatever, I don't mind Jimmy helping a homie out long as Phil has final say on everything.

[h3]Carmelo Favorites Tweet About LeBron Joining Him With Knicks[/h3]
Mar 18, 2014 2:59 PM EDT

Carmelo Anthony 'favorited' a report on Twitter that "LeBron James is rumored to be strongly considering joining Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson in New York."

The report from IActAFool.com hardly seems credible or newsworthy, but Anthony's response is certainly intriguing.

The Knicks do not cap space for 2014 and Jackson suggested that 2015 will have a more interesting free agency class.

Anthony has only favorited two other Tweets and none since May of last year.

 

[mronegative]

No wonder honeynuts worked on him. Melo's game is so see-through.

Ain't nobody knew Bosh was cool with them dudes like that til it happened.

I blame JR.

 

[duba169]

Kay asked about being married to CAA, now looking like they're getting divorced. What's true? What's not?

"I have only one answer for that: Phil Jackson is in charge of all basketball decisions. PERIOD."


Makes me feel a bit better

IActafool.com? 

That's some middle school ****. Just let things play out.

I will say this, nice play by Dolan to make everyone forget about that protest tomorrow. Everybody wet their pants today and forgot about the mission 

. Good ol' bait and switch.
