Whodathunk it?

The first sign of sanity and good leadership in the Knicks front office in almost a decade was reported today when Steve Mills went on record stating that he has no intention of re-signing Derrick Rose.

Mills wants to develop the Knicks by staying young and maintaining cap space.

I was not happy to see the Knicks waiving of Maurice Ndour. I think that was a knee jerk reaction to get rid of Phil's most desired players and a big mistake.

It seems that years of watching the good of Donnie Walsh and the bad of Phil Jackson has rubbed off on Steve Mills and the organization might just have a sound mind running the franchise.

Apparently Steve has also convinced Carmelo Anthony to drop his no trade clause for a deal to either Cleveland or Houston if one can be worked out.

The Knicks have shown great restraint to not fly off and buyout Anthony which would cause a big hit on the teams cap room.

If Anthony is willing to waive or lower his trade kicker you could very well see Kevin Love a Knickerbocker before the end of the week and Carmelo and Lebron with championship dreams in their eyes together in Cleveland.

The Knicks might not be a fucking joke any more under Mills, whodathunk it?

Phil Jackson has been fired

This morning James Dolan had Madison Square Garden security stuff Phil Jackson's yoga mat, 12 inch seat cushion and his Alzheimer's medication into a box and sat his shit on the corner of 33rd Street and 7th Avenue.

Phil Jackson has been fired.

Don't get too caught up asking questions like: Why didn't this happen before he drafted players and invited free agents to summer league who could run an offense, The Triangle, that won't even be run?

That would be a waste of time, its the Knicks way as you should know by now. Just thank your deity or broccoli, whatever you pray too, that Phil Jackson will no longer be making ridiculous decisions for the New York Knicks.

It would be wise to sign Joe Dumars who knows how to put tough teams together quickly and is still respected throughout the league. That would be too smart so it probably won't happen.

The most recent rumor is that Masai Ujiri, yeah him, is being looked at to replace Phil. I guess if you can't beat him you hire him is Dolan's mantra.

Rejoice Knicks fans, until the next disappointment at least. Remember Carmelo Anthony is still a Knick with a record of 80-166 since he has been here so don't think a championship is on the horizon.

The best you can hope for is that a strong team president will come in with a plan and some balls.
