James Dolan is already blocking Phil Jackson from doing his job

Run Melo, run far far away

Just one month into his role as Knicks president, Jackson has already clashed with Dolan, the chairman of Madison Square Garden, over personnel decisions, the Daily News has learned. According to a team source, Jackson is looking to remove several staff members, which is commonplace when a new administration takes over, but Dolan opposes removing certain employees.
According to the source, Dolan's reaction to Jackson's request was to tell the 11-time NBA championship coach to simply focus his attention on building a winning team. To say that “minor friction,” as one Garden source called it, can be classified as Jackson's honeymoon with Dolan being over may be stretching it a bit.
But at the very least it proves that Dolan -- surprise, surprise -- wasn't being entirely truthful last month when he claimed he was “willingly and gratefully” giving up control of the basketball decisions to Jackson, the Hall of Fame coach.

Worst Owner in all of Pro Sports? Has to be at least Top 5, right?

Dolan's an imbecile. Teams are built from the ground up. If PJ wants to fire the janitors he should be able to.

I think Phil is trying to fire one of Dolan's boys so that's not happening.
Or Phil could have eaten a baggie full of mushrooms and tried to fire a light pole.

Top 5 easily. If you said he was the worst owner in sports history, I wouldn't disagree with that.

Must be a Jerry Jones alter.

Would love to sit in on some of their meetings.

Jackson is just going to wind up quitting. He doesn't need the money and I don't think he cares enough about the job to be constantly embroiled in conflict with an idiot.

More likely just coast and rake in $$ for doing nothing.

Dolan sucks, but he's nowhere near as bad as Donald Sterling of the Clippers.

Phil should've just walked out of the office and flew back to his house. No reason to even quit. Just walk out the door laughing and never go back.

In L.A, Phil replaced everyone, down to the video guy, and basically drove Jerry frickin WEST away from the Lakers.

As if Jackson didn't know before he took the job this would happen.

I love it

Anyone else tired if hearing about the Knicks? If Steve Kerr winds up there, I do hope he has success. Kerr is one of my favorite players ever. But other than that, frick the Knicks
