SMC Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 According to the Post, Houston asked Knicks about Melo at the trade deadline but Knicks said no. Rockets will now try to trade Lin or Asik to make room to bid on Melo or use the in sign and trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Also I laugh at some of the media claiming that the Phil news popped up because of the Nets. It popped up right after the Noah recruiting Melo story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Anything to make Dolan less involved is a good thing. BTW, the slob joke was a play on you saying you like pie Do you really think I have that thin of skin? IDGAF what you call me. I annoy you enough with the Knicks I deserve it.

SayNoToDMC Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Does that mean were good? No, but it means Dolan might finally be willing to take a back seat. I'll believe that when I see it, but if you're actually a fan that should make you very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Dolan is giving Jax a 5 year $60 million deal. He's not paying that to meddle. Hes paying that to give Jax free reign to turn the franchise around. Isola has been writing good inside info on this. He wrote that Dolan is still bitter about losing out LeBron to Riley, so every executive who was in the recruitment meeting (Walsh, Grunwald, Ratner etc) have been fired.

He's 6'6" like Kobe and MJ and can score easily. He just has to learn defense in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 so how long before dolan screws this up ? I say 4 monthsHe's not. He fell in love with Isiah because he thought Isiah was a basketball genius. Jax actually is. Dolan has been chasing Jax for over 10 years. It cracks me up how the media has already created this meddling narrative for Dolan-Jax when Dolan personally asked Jax to take over the team. Seriously, Knicks fans, read Isola's articles on how this all went down. It's enlightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, the media is completely missing the comparison in trying to look at what happened to Walsh. Walsh was forced on Dolan by Stern after the sexual harassment debacle. Dolan never wanted Walsh. It was undisputed that Walsh had complete autonomy until it became clear that LeBron wasn't coming. Let's be clear here--Walsh's job was all about LeBron. He cleared cap space then hired D'Antoni rather than Mark Jackson because he thought players wanted to play in DAs system. That all blew up in Walsh's face when LeBron said no. After that Walsh was on borrowed time. Now contrast that to Jax, Dolan has always wanted him. Its his choice. He'll fall in love with Jax like he did with Isiah. Our only fear right now is not Dolan's meddling, because he'd likely give Jax a blow job thsn challenge a basketball decision. The biggest fear is whether Jax is up to the task.

SMC Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm really surprised the media and fans think Dolan will interfere with Jax. Just read the articles and look how Dolan acts. He's a billionaire groupie. Thats why he tours with the Eagles. Jax only has to show Dolan his ring collection and Dolan will start shining his shoes. Isola recounted a story where Dolan wanted to rehire Isiah and got into an argument with MSG execs over it. An exasperated Dolan finally yelled out, "But he's a basketball genius!"
