Proponent of the Yankees spending money, the Knicks finding a point guard (DONE!) and the Giants fielding a respectable offensive line (close!). Go Rangers too!

@sny_knicks @IanBegley Dolan being Dolan again; could see the mask falling off along the road to the championship with the Trump stunt, the watch party cancellations, the Carton interviews and Mandami spat. If Brock/Leon think its best strategically, fine, but if its spending austerity, what use is JD?

@TommyBeer Think Knicks going over the second apron to keep Mitch?

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@KnickFilmSkool @TheCohencidence Ugh very hard to hear that Mitch likely the odd man out, but @TheCohencidence per usual made excellent points as to how to bring the rest of the band back together otherwise while maintaining longer term flexibility with this core.

@KnicksFanTv Will be tuned in!

@knickzfeed Sets up retention for Mitch, Shamet and Jose very well 🙏🤞

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@IanBegley Great news! Any more word about the second apron yet Ian? I know you’ve said you think Dolan may have mistaken 2nd apron penalties across 3 of 5 years; figure we’ll get clarification as we get going w Mo and Jose moving back his option

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@SamQuinnCBS To your point - this front office is clever enough to go back under the second apron and revive that flexibility if they see areas for improvement IMO.

If they stay under for this free agency, I don’t see a way the team can be more talented heading into next season w/o retention

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@TrueHoop Okay - what’s your alternative? Easy to point to issues, harder to provide solutions.

@muhfuknfunnyguy @BeckyHammon @joshhart It’s interesting - she’s a coach (and a terrific HOF player). I’m sure accountability matters for her with her players and her program. Feel as though this is a moment for her to lead by admitting fault. Too many leaders don’t have humility.

@jschwartz115 Bring them all back - they’ve earned the chance to both be celebrated throughout the season for the gift they gave this city as well as a chance to defend their crown

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@LT__Murray A timeless call. It with echo throughout time.

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@StevePopper Can also consider that Dolan was confused by what Leon and Brock was explaining to him about the second apron because he’s a buffoon

[James Epstein @theslim3]

@knickzfeed @StevePopper Consider Dolan didn’t fully understand what he was saying because he’s a confused buffoon

@alanhahn @bhofheimer_espn @ESPNNewYork @MSGNetworks @LIUAthletics @SuffolkHOF @ESPNRadio @DHRonESPN Happy bday Alan - for your birthday I hope Dolan goes into the second apron to retain Mitch, Shamet and Alvarado

@YossiGozlan @IanBegley Was this recorded before Dolan’s quote? Didn’t see you guys address it
