It's laughable. The guy had the nerve to ask for the power to make basketball decisions as the general manager of a basketball team. Impossible man to please that David Griffin.
this is worth reading for the first paragraph alone. lol http://nypost.com/2017/07/09/firing-phil-jackson-only-enabled-another-henchman-to-ruin-knicks/ Firing Phil Jackson only enabled another henchman to ruin Knicks By Mike Vaccaro July 9, 2017 | 7:52pm It is perpetual midnight around the Knicks, a darkness that knows no bounds and respects no borders. It is a cruel truth for a city that feels as deeply and as passionately about basketball as New York does. We might call these desperate hours if not for the fact this mess is way, way, WAY past desperate by now. Maybe David Griffin wasn’t your idea of an ideal choice to be the Knicks’ new general manager, and that would certainly be a fair opinion. The Cavaliers won an NBA title on his watch, mostly due to the presence of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, so you can’t exactly credit him with master-minding a champion. Still, he’s a career basketball man with a good reputation, and since the Knicks are currently in the market — or were, allegedly — for someone with both of those qualifications, it made perfect sense they would meet with him, as they reportedly did this weekend. But in the perpetual midnight that is the Knicks, it is never enough for a job interview merely to conclude without an agreement. There is always opera music playing in the background, there are always extra levels of drama, there are always the petty turf wars and intractable stances that force a little something extra. more at the link
Doesn't Dolan get tired of getting beat up on the court and by the press year after year? All these years and all the resources coming from the NYC market and he keeps ruining things.
Dolan doesn't want Griffin or anyone else to be able to clean house is simply an issue of loyalty. He doesn't want Griffin or any other GM candidate to be able to throw people like Allan Houston out of a job and out of the Knicks organization. You've got to somewhat commend him for that.
Can you imagine your first move as incoming GM being to trade Melo for a bag of peanuts and a pair of sweated socks that were left in the locker room shower all summer?
