Those crazy Dolans
As unhappy as I am with Indians owner Larry Dolan, he has nothing on James, who owns the Knicks:
Since James Dolan became owner of the Knicks and Rangers, Madison Square Garden policy specifies that any interviews must be done with a public relations official present -- with no exceptions, according to a person familiar with the policy, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because this matter has not been resolved.
What a mess that franchise has turned into. Spike Lee may have to alter his sales pitch to bring LeBron to the Big Apple.
LeBron might end up playing for the Nets, but not anytime soon. He has expressed an interest in playing for Jay-Z's team, but I think that's more of a pipe dream than anything at this point.
ReplyDeleteI said a couple of years ago that the Cavs can get LeBron to sign one contract extension. After that, we'll see. Once that extension is up in 2012, he'll be a 27-year-old unrestricted free agent and he and the Cavs will have had plenty of time to work together to win a title.
After nine seasons together, both sides will have a pretty good idea of whether the relationship is working or not.
And let's not forget that the landscape of the league could change drastically. Jay-Z might have sold his interest in the Nets by then. The en vogue team might be the Clippers. You never know.
