There were promises of hard work and development and cooperation. And there were no grandiose promises of titles, no sickening arrogance when rsums were rubbed in everyones face and definitely no follow-up tweets that an ancient languages expert Corey Kluber Womens Jersey would have trouble deciphering.
And during the Knicks press conference at their Westchester practice facility, where Steve Mills was introduced as president and Scott Perry came aboard as general manager, there was one other notable absence.
You take progress where you can get it, especially when you are coming off another lottery season and you have one playoff series win in 17 years.
So when the subject of Carmelo Anthony arose, no one said the organization would be better off if http://www.officialindianstore.com/Corey_Kluber_Jersey the 10-time All-Star would just climb into a cubbyhole somewhere and sell insurance. Mills said what he should have.
If theres an opportunity that works for Carmelo and works for us, then well look at some kind of trade, Mills said. But we also feel that Carmelo could easily be a part of our team next year.
Hey, no one said they were completely honest. Anthony returning is a stretch. And Mills swore they called Tim Hardaway Jr. right after the stroke of midnight when free agency began while the guard, who collected $71 million for four years, claimed the call came after a few days.
So maybe there will be change for the Knicks, who didnt seem content only to win the press conference as they did with Phil Jackson in March 2014. And everyone knows how swell matters went after Jackson took over. That appointment became as successful as the trades for Eddy Curry and Andrea Bargnani.
Mills and Perry seemed humble, honest, professional. There was a consistency to their message: youth, athleticism, development, building. Now, will these two guys bring the answers the Knicks have sought for a couple Alfred Blue Authentic Jersey decades? Only time will tell. But for one day, they said all the right things. It was all about the future and doing it the right way.
I cant really comment on anything prior. Im looking forward, Perry said.
Youd look ahead, too, if you were him. Not much attractive is reflecting in the Knicks rearview mirror.
One obvious point arises. Who is running the basketball show with two men who will eventually http://www.texansproshops.com/Alfred_Blue_Jersey_Cheap huddle over one decision? Mills stressed how when he first joined the organization, he held a dual role. He stressed how he wanted a general manager.
One of the things I made clear was I thought we needed to bring in a general manager, and Scott was one of the people I had on my list, Mills said of his chats with owner James Dolan, who, face it, is the guy with the most and ultimately only say that matters.
And I do believe that the things were talking about today are the things Id do differently, Mills said with all emphasis on moving forward, youth, draft picks, development for a group of guys growing together, which may take longer to do. It will take longer to do.
Mills was asked directly about the power structure. Obviously, he is the president. Obviously, he hired Perry. Obviously, he will have final say. But Mills insisted it will be a co-venture, and everything will be discussed and analyzed and Perry will have room to make decisions.
Im going to give Scott the room to make basketball decisions and make recommendations to me. Hes going to have a chance to manage the coaching staff, manage the scouting staff and make recommendations as to where we should go as a basketball  organization, Mills said. Well be partners in that in the sense that hell come to me with his recommendation and well debate it back and forth. But at the end of the day, Im giving him the room to make those decisions.
And then hell make the call. But it was the smart thing to say. |
