Knicks · It all makes sense (page 1)

9 and 21 but no trades or coaching changes in the offing.
Picks traded away.
Only GMs in a over a decade to oversee winning seasons told to pack their bags.

What's going on?

We know the garden sells out every time no matter how good/bad the team is, so there's no extra profit to be made by improving the team.

But if the team is bad...like really bad.... well, people drink more when they're unhappy.

And those MSG beers cost $12 a pop.

So the best way to maximize profits on the Knicks is not to make them better, but to make them worse...much worse....

Simple really.

Bwahahahahaha!

DOes the GM also take blame for this roster or the bad contracts he issued?

He has to take some of it. But for me when Grunwald was let go it changed everything. Coaches generally struggle when the gm that hired them is fired. In Woodson's case, not only did he lose Grunwald, he lost control of saying who makes the team, what minutes guys could play and when. Grunwald's firing was a signal that the Knicks were heading back towards being very dysfunctional. Keeping Chris Smith was the next step. The Knicks have a lot of guys that are immature and have character flaws. I don't think Grunwald keeps Shump around if he is openly disrespecting Woodson. I don't know if JR's game where his job was to pass is just allowed to fade away. Basically, Grunwald provided stability and along with Woodson there was continuity. That is all gone now. I don't think anyone knows what is going to happen next but my guess is Cole Aldrich and Toure Murry didn't sleep well last night with the Tyler rumors.

Read it again.

People who think this is about diagramming plays are only trying to impress, or pushing an agenda.

This is the story of a dysfunctional business model.

Coaches do not win in New York because of management. They win in spite of it.
