    Dolan at least has deep pocket Tillman oth is too broke to be an owner. No need to fire Morey, he might resign with all this cost cutting going on SMH.

    PBWA statement regarding the New York Knicks

    June 22, 2019 — The following statement has been issued by Josh Robbins, president of the Professional Basketball Writers Association, regarding the New York Knicks’ ban of New York Daily News journalists from a news conference introducing the Knicks’ 2019 draft picks:

    “The New York Knicks’ decision to ban New York Daily News journalists from RJ Barrett’s and Ignas Brazdeikis’ introductory news conference Friday was unprofessional and unacceptable. James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks franchise, previously has said that barring Daily News employees from media availabilities sends the Daily News ‘a message.’ In reality, the only message he is sending is that he is a bully who retaliates against legitimate news outlets that publish content he dislikes. Members of the Professional Basketball Writers Association support our Daily News colleagues, and we condemn the Knicks’ attempts to hinder journalists’ ability to do their jobs and inform the public.”

    ______________

    Not that the Knicks need defending or that Dolan is right here but didn't the NYDN lay off a majority of their sports department?

    Doesn’t surprise me, him and Donald Trump are a-hole buddies right down to their disrespect of any media that disagrees with them.

    Tillman is just as bad, only difference is he hasn’t had as much of a time to build that crap rep

    Tilman hasn't shown any signs that he has that fragile of an ego to ban a fan for booing him.
    He had the biggest country of the world literally booing him, and he didn't falter in the end.

    The reality on the ground is that people who go to Toyota center aren’t really angry at Tilman at all.

    Tilman is a made man. He's been a mob boss long enough to withstand any media crap. He loves being in the media!

    Dolan on the other hand is a trust fund kid and cries anytime someone say something bad about him. Crying again now except he use Mills to do the dirty work. How can Mills still keep his job? Knicks has been horrible since Mills have been part of the Knicks, over 20 years.

    Keeping Boss Dolan and doing dirty work for Dolan keep Mills employed

    Yup.......... The Knicks are a dumpster fire...... best way for the front office to save themselves is to sacrifice the head coach.

    Then Mark Jackson can come in and flim flam his way to a .500% records and get a big contract before finding some way to use his religion to swindle and screw other people associated with the Knicks and be kicked out.

    Five years from now Isiah Thomas and Mark Jackson can share a few beers and smoke some weed at a shady strip club and laugh about how much Dolan paid them.

    I actually disagree.

    Tilman is already universally known as a terrible owner. Listen to pretty much any relevant NBA podcast or show that has discussed him and they all agree he is terrible, despite only being the owner for 2 years.

    He’s developed such a reputation in no time. His future is looking incredibly Dolan-esque.

    The NBA will help the Knicks. We all know how this works.

    The comparison between the Knicks and rockets aren’t even close

    nobody that matters aka season ticket holders
    Are angry at Tilman

    Dolan won’t sell the team like Les did cause Dolan isn’t in it for the money

    The Knicks have been bad for a very long time

    Dolan has actually dissed and banned fan favorites like Charles Oakley

    no matter how mad Clutchfans is at Tilman this is not the same situation at all

    Steve Mills should fire himself for being a part of the contingent that agreed to giving out contracts to 52 power forwards over the summer as a way to get over the fact that Kyrie and Durant wanted nothing to do with that sorryass franchise.

    Fizdale is a good coach--not elite but he's not horrific enough to be anyone's scapegoat.

    Dolan is a significantly worse owner
    However
    He has never messed with the Knicks logo or colors
    What kind of soulless owner would do that ?

    Has Dolan ever considered moving the team to Kentucky?
