James Dolan’s search for Knicks savior might be excruciating
Error 0:
There are no perfect solutions for the Knicks right now, because that is the sentence for a team that for 20 years has wandered in a fugue state. Firing Steve Mills was a necessary decision that also comes a few weeks — or years — too late.
There is a perfect candidate to replace Mills, Masai Ujiri, who burnished his reputation by twice fleecing the Knicks — first in Denver in fully leveraging the Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony deal, later in Toronto somehow convincing them to take Andrea Bargnani off his hands. He then all but delivered a Raptors NBA title by boldly trading for Kawhi Leonard, even though Ujiri knew Leonard might be (and was) a one-year rental.
