Doesn't help that Dolan is the Knicks owner and can't stop stepping on his own dick.
Dolan spends money and it’s always been said he doesn’t mess with the people making decisions. He allows them to do their jobs.
He just sucks at hiring the right front office people. Kind of reminds me of Benson back in the day til Loomis gained power and Payton came along.
Seemed like they hired smart people this time. Then they go and give Brunson this ridiculous contract because the front office people have connections to the Brunson family. This will end poorly for everyone.
Also, you mentioned Dolan stepping on his own dick. Someone wrote an article about Cuban doing exactly that and being a big reason they can’t attract big time guys to play in Dallas.
Cuban talks a lot, and the article had a list of shite that Cuban has said over the years that might piss off players.
They had an all time great player in Dirk, who was a very unselfish player, played in a huge market, the locker room and way they took care of players was unheard of at the time, won consistently, and still couldn’t attract anyone. It’s cause Cuban and Nelson sucked.

Cuban can offer more money and more years and it looks like he isn't willing to do it. Once again Cuban is full of hot air while thinking he's the smartest guy in the room. Now watch Brunson turn into a Lowry clone.
I don’t even blame Cuban for not doing it. It’s the fact of how it’s been handled since they drafted him, and Cuban can’t ever just keep his fricking mouth shut. Always makes himself and the franchise look foolish.
The Brunson thing will be a failure in New York. It just will. Fans will eat him up cause he ain’t as good as that money he getting. The basketball fit is horrendous.
Apparently Rick Brunson has been stirring shite up all year in Dallas and now is leaking shite about Brunson can’t be his best with Luka.
Jake Fischer reported Jalen told teammates he was staying, then walked that back. This whole thing is a mess.

In the winter of 2021, about a year after coming in to help his friend/partner Leon Rose run the Knicks, William "Worldwide Wes" Wesley was talking to an associate about the duo’s plans for the franchise.
"I told Brock," Wesley told the associate, referring to Brock Aller, a friend the Knicks had recently hired to serve as their chief strategist, "that the only way he and I would have an issue is if he didn’t have enough assets to draft D.J. Wagner by the time he entered the draft."
Wagner at the time was one of the country’s top sophomore prospects. More importantly, he was the son of Dajuan Wagner, the former NBA lottery pick whom Rose had represented as an agent.
quote:
and there’s only one NBA family outside of the Wagners that Rose and Wesley consider their own. That would be the family of Rick Brunson, the former NBA point guard who also made his home in South Jersey and just happened to have been Rose’s first NBA client — and who the Knicks recently hired as an assistant coach.
Jalen, of course, is the son of Rick Brunson. He's also a former client of Rose’s and is currently represented by a group of CAA agents that includes Rose’s son, Sam. The contract can’t become official until Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, when the NBA’s free agency moratorium is lifted. But that’s just red tape. The deal is done.
quote:
But there’s a more cynical way to read this, too. It was never said out loud, but when the Knicks handed the reins to a power agent and a power broker, it was understood by everyone around the team and the NBA that the main reason for doing it was so that they could one day recruit and attract shiny stars. You remember the names: Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns, Damian Lillard.
Yet here we are, nearly three years later, and the Knicks are nowhere closer to contention, nowhere closer to relevance. They might as well be on a hamster wheel — and there’s no exit on the horizon.
NY Knicks have problems
