Honestly, given the way the media in our city operates I can’t blame him one bit. I’ve had my issues with Zach, but when the Bulls want to get rid of the team’s best player, JR’s team will passively spread rumors about him to the press. It happened with Rose, it happened with Butler, and it’s happening again with Lavine. I’m not sure if we have the worst ownership in the league, but next to Dolan, not sure whether I can think of a more toxic owner than Reinsdorf.
NGL, Dolan has washed his hands and now the Knicks are a good homegrown team on team friendly contracts. So I guess Leon was very strict about who ran Basketball Ops before taking the job. He also let Phil Jackson fuck over the team too lol . So he turned a nice little leaf the last decade.
