Knicks · What Free Agent Would Want To Play For the Knicks After the Spike Lee Thing? (page 1)

toodarkmark @ 3/3/2020 2:11 PM
The delusion continues. Anyone who thinks NBA free agents see Spike Lee and what happened as an "entitled celebrity" thing needs to get their heads checked. This is worse then Charles Oakley.

Steve Stout's pathetic interviews and Leon Rose's PDFs aren't changing anything about the Knicks perception.

Have fun over-paying for the bottom tier free agents and good luck breaking 24 wins in the next 5 years.

If a free agents that bothered about such trivial crap, New York probably isn’t the best place for them

Yes. You are right. Which is why no free agents have or ever will sign here.

The delusion here is amazing. Dolan is trending on Twitter. ESPN has national stories about it. The Ringer put up a video of Sell the Team.

Free agents 100% care about Spike Lee and what he means. The facts that you "ride or die" types don't see how bad this is for the Knicks is what's sad.

Not saying it doesn't hurt the Knicks. They are held to a higher standard in the media, meaning they get more media attention. But free agents in July absolutely do not care what happened between Dolan and Spike Lee in march. Unlike us "ride or die" types if that's the category I fall into, you guys get sucked into the media crap way too much. That's your category I guess. You call it delusion on my end. I call it caring way too much about smut on your end.

Thought this was the he how long till Rose he s tired thread.

none! however I think its more about how the team has had a negative stench around it for a generation now and this is just a drop in the bucket. like I said, we have to operate as a small market team and build up assets to make trade or develop our own stars. free agency for us is a myth.

What does a Potential Free agent have to do with Oak or using the VIP entrance?
Contract, players, coach and how a team takes care of its players.
We are not intimate with why KP left. He also had off court issues that dragged the team into.
Lets assume KP had a legit beef. Has the problem been resolved as not to repeat. Both presidents and the coach are gone.
Do all NBA players like Spike Lee?
Do all players even care about Oak?

I want you guys to know that Stephan A and Lee are very cool with each other. "First Takes " studios is literally blocks from one of spike's houses/office..So i can easily see Stephan calling spike )the night for his take, and inviting him on the show to air out.

You think Espn is going to say no to a spike i5 minutes (the famous knick fan everybody knows)rant on his own team..

Exactly right. While this is damaging to the team (more of the same), it has zero impact on free agents.

Good take and I agree with most of it. Dolan just makes it all worse.
Repair strategy:

Leon calls Spike and asks him to dinner. Set the rules, no media, will be apologetic, won't breath a word to anyone it occurred. "Man to man we can talk about what i'd like to do with the team. Can't breath a word to press we have this. You a super fan and I feel awful what happens on my first day. No publicity. That's on you. Im just going to let it go as will Jim. He regrets the whole thing". Knicks will say one thing and it comes from Rose: "we value our long relationship with all fans and regret any miscommunication regardless of the circumstances. We take the safety of our fans and employees and security could have been more sensitive to the moment. We can understand why a patron would be upset". That's it.
Didn't we have one of our guys here go to a game with his ailing father and the team was amazing to him? There are good stories too!
Leon has an opportunity to but in all likelihood the best thing is to just let it die.

Yo...

Spike needs to go to the VIP entrance at 31st street and get over himself. He doesn't own the Knicks. Let him go to Brooklyn with the rest of the gentrified bullshit

Papabear Says

They care about MONEY! the big stars care about trying to get a ring fast.But they also care about money. MSG is a tough place to win in. Look the Rangers won some championships here and Dolan is the owner so why not the Knicks. Dolan will spend money but it will take a special person to play and stay in New York.

There need to be somebody to tell Dolan no more memos and Randle no more Spinovers. Just tell them, "That move, no more. Its not working out"
