Why didn’t the Knicks part ways with Steve Mills when they fired David Fizdale? | The Jump

Published

on

Rachel Nichols, Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins react to the New York Knicks parting ways with president Steve Mills two days before the 2020 NBA trade deadline, and wonder why they didn’t just make the move when they fired David Fizdale earlier in the season.

    Because they didn’t want to fire two black people at the same time. If they had done it then race card would have been pulled.

    Why don’t the Knicks force Dolan to sell?? I have never seen an owner so disengaged with his franchise, having people thrown out of the arena for stupid reasons, sits there with a stoned faced look on him….. He just doesn’t care about the franchise he owns and he should be forced to sell….. Donald Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers, the Knicks, NBA and NBPA should get together and get another buyer for the Knicks…… Dolan is running the team into the ground and changes have got to happen…..

      @Kathryn Smith ok so that can’t happen to dolan…the nba can’t just force an owner to sell his team because they haven’t been winning if that was the case then he should of been gone a long time ago…the same goes for MJ with the Hornets

      SamsClub 243 this isn’t just about the Knicks losing, Dolan’s entire attitude towards everyone isn’t helping, hence he’s had others thrown out of the arena… Dolan has stated he has no interest in selling the team but he’s showing he has no interest in his team…. Period…..

    No Rachel; Knicks fans have been waiting for Dolan to fire himself

    In all honesty Dolan need to sell the team he’s a terrible owner like MJ I want to see all teams compete and make the NBA more fun to watch again. You have 7’0 taking 3s nba is no longer fun to watch

    I suspect JAMES DOLAN is a closeted homosexual with a sexual fetish for black males…
    That would explain the Isiah Thomas thing…..Something is off with that leprachaun.
    Why would someone hire Kendrick Perkins to be a sports commentator when he cant even speak english….I dont get it….There are probably dozens of ex athletes who are smart and articulate, that are qualified to be sportscasters.

    All those Knicks fans **suffering** in MSG… I hope they’re all Yankees fans every last one of them!

    This is why I hate The Jump and most NBA programming on ESPN that talk Knicks. They have already said that Steve Mills thinks this is a playoff team. They’re acting shocked that Mills got fired two days before the deadline. Maybe he got fired cause he was still trying to build a playoff team this year which forced Dolan to fire him.

    Rachel gotta stop overreacting to anything Knicks…these reactions are absolutely ridiculous…no wonder Dolan hates the media

      Dolan is the worst owner in sports
      There’s a reason why New Yorkers hate him

    I feel like Kyrie and KD told The knicks “yeah we coming to New York for sure, 100%” and then they went to Brooklyn

      But why would the Knicks think any free agent would want to come there. Its dysfunctional. You build from within through the draft and good scouting with a plan.

    Mills didnt really get fired. He got another position in the organization. So, technically he still has influence.

    • Michael San

      February 6, 2020 at 1:33 am

      Spike don’t got $4 billion. Jay-Z does but I think he’s part owner of Brooklyn

    • Gee Andrezzi

      February 6, 2020 at 7:57 am

      Michael San nahhh jay had to sell his ownership because of rocnation sports. And Dolan ain’t selling the knicks for under 5 billion

  18. joimarise

    Can James Dolan be fired too? 😂

    • asia roberson

      He the owner. He could only sell the team

    David Fizdale is not a good coach he’s a players coach but not a good coach his record as a head coach New york and Memphis is 71-134 he won championships with heat as an assistant

      Digital Dino ur right the wolves have been worse lol. Since 2003, the Knicks have had the worst winning percentage in the league second to only the wolves. And this year both teams have identical records…. so I have no idea what ur talking about lol
