It’s not happening. James Dolan is not selling the team. A change of ownership is just not in the cards for the New York Knicks. There’s no easy way to say this, but it’s time to evict Dolan from that beachfront real estate in your head because if this ship sinks again, he’s not the one to blame.
Of course, for anyone who’s followed the Knicks during the 2000s, that sounds like an impossible task. All through the lean years, the one constant has always been Dolan. Through the failed experiment with Larry Brown, the tumultuous tenure of Isiah Thomas, the shortsighted trade for Carmelo Anthony, the disappointment of the Phil Jackson era, and a public feud with an all-time Knicks great, Dolan deserves a lion’s share of the blame.
