A guy like Phil Jax wouldn't take that risk, not for this roster and with this owner.
Exactly. whats amazing to me is that there are many people who blame Donnie despite the fact taht he basically saved this team from what could have been another 6 hyears of misery. He was on the right track but he knew the melo trade was just dumb nd surprise surprise he left after he was shitted on by dolan
"Shitted on" is pretty accurate.
The problem is that guys like Donnie do not come through the door very often; who will clean the next mess up?

Unfortunetly not many could especially with dolan there. When we got donnie in 2008 i was thrilled because he knows how to be a good GM which we hadn't had with layden or isiah and we were left with a edecade of misery. but Donnie didn't want any interfereance which i agree with so he got out.

why wouldnt he? he wanted to coach the knicks since 99 when that season went eerily like this one with people calling jvg's head with a bad start. in phil jax ssystem, you can get away with a pg like douglas since a good pg is not required and you have stat and melo as the main vertices of the triangle, like shaq and kobe. this is a talented team with two top 15 players ( well, when they are on their game) on the roster and a defensive minded talented center.
Dolan should crawl on his knees back to Donnie and tell him he has full control if he comes back... No more meddling...
Deron to Lakes for Kobe, and Jax to Brooklyn.

Really the only way I see any type of meaningful future for the Knicks.
