82nd Airborne Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Celebrate baby! https://sportsnaut.com/2020/02/report-knicks-fire-team-president-steve-mills/ It’s been known for some time that Mills was on the chopping block. This move also seems to indicate that the firing of general manager Scott Perry is imminent. Embattled owner James Dolan is once again looking to change direction mid stream. Mills was brought on by the Knicks back in 2013 to serve as their executive VP and general manager. He was promoted to president once Perry was hired back in 2017. Since hiring Mills, the Knicks have failed to earn a single playoff appearance. In fact, they have lost 50-plus games each of the past five seasons and currently boast a 15-36 record.

We need to trade Randle instead of Morris, but we could probably get a 1st round pick for Morris. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach is Miller not Mills. but I hear you, I like him too but want Mark Jackson or Jeff VanGundy next year. THANK YOU JESUS, maybe there is hope after all. Mills and Perry aka Beavis and Butthead both needed to go. We need a real BB man running things. The Rangers have had success with Dolan as owner, the Knicks can as well, Dolan just has to hire a real BB man and let him control all facets of the organization.

I loved Van Gundy back in the days but would love someone younger coach or Becky Hammon from the Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClashFan Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I've been calling Mills one of the Knicks' evil "Common Denominators" for some time, so glad he's gone. However, the other one, Jimmy D, still owns the team, and I fear he always somehow infects everything. Now, trade Morris for the best offer and start a real rebuild, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolan's been trying to get Ujiri here for years. They would have to compensate Toronto if they want him, because he's under contract for another year. That's why I'd trade Morris for a first and send it to Toronto for Ujiri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take atleast a first and then some. but I would do whatever it takes to get him here. He would be worth it IMO. If he can't turn around the Knicks, I don't think anyone would be able to.

The credit/blame goes on the team Presidents not the owner, no? Owner is a rich guy, the Presidents are the ones who are experts and are expected to do the job.

#27TheDominator Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Mills is a gentleman and a genuinely nice guy. Great family. That said, I was shocked when they brought him back again. He played at Princeton, but was always seemed more business than basketball. That being said, Layden certainly seemed to feel that Mills stabbed him in the back. The Laydens were great too. Too bad they didn't have any success with the Knicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Dolan couldn't care less about hockey. That is what makes him a good owner. He gives the money to the people to run the business the way it should. Basketball is his baby, he gets too involved and trusts the wrong people. It is well known he too involved with the basketball side and why it has failed for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I He was in the room helping make decisions with Mills and Jackson... Mills has been through many regime changes... It is long overdue that he was fired. Free Agents even talk about how they won't go to the Knicks because Dolan is too involved. Dolan forced Donnie Walsh to trade for Melo, among many other mistakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
