He probably thinks he signed three stars in the offseason: Morris, Randle, and Portis!

I wish I was joking.

And doesn’t realize they all played the same position.

The biggest fear we should all have now is a Mills panic trade for a “star.”

Make Steve Mills team president of The Rockettes and end this nightmare.

I’m not sure that somebody responsible for covering up sexual harassment at MSG should be put in charge of an all-female dance troop. Better to sink the knicks.

Steve Mills is Cersei Lannister. I’m convinced.

Nah, Dolan’s the King. Mills is Littlefinger. But the idea works perfectly. The Knicks operate like a decaying medieval aristocracy, with its ring-kissing and manipulative courtiers, competing against a bunch of meritocracies. Meritocracies are going to win that one a million times out of a million.

In purely basketball terms, it’s virtually clear now that Dolan is convinced that the way to win in the NBA is to draw in free agent stars, which is why all the Giannis/Masai rumors are out today. He’s not necessarily even wrong about that, but there’s no way he ever had or will fully buy into a rebuild. The biggest fear we should all have now is a Mills panic trade for a “star.”

It was always going to come to this, wasn’t it?

I don’t care if Masai Ujiri wants $150M and minority ownership, you pay that man. He is the best in the league at his job and wouldn’t have to convince another sucker to take his bad contracts before he builds a contender.

I went to the Lakers, Raptors game last night. Toronto was such a fun team to watch. Lowry didn’t play. It was Van Fleet, Siakam, Boucher, Anunoby, and Norm Powell leading the way and they played great D, had ball movement, and made no stupid mistakes. They didn’t even shoot very well, and still beat the best record in the league, on the road, 3000 miles from home.

Even if Frank Ntilikina turns out to not suck in the long run, he’ll probably never be the player that Fred Van Fleet is, which is funny because the letters Ntilikina have been typed into the internet 1,000,000 more times than the letters VanFleet over the past two years.

In short, the Knicks offense sucks at a number of things, but runs those plays more than other teams anyway.

Maybe if Mannix is right about Mark Jackson being the leading candidate to succeed Fiz, that’ll give me the courage to pull the ripcord. But I doubt it (about my courage, not about Jackson).

He’s much more like the unnamed Manager of the Central Station in Conrad’s novel Heart of Darnkness. He’s running (badly) the entire ivory trade operation in Africa, with no discernible talents other than his ability to “stay healthy.” He just somehow outlasts everyone through petty scheming.

That’s Mills.
