Update: The worst franchise owner in the history of professional sports--who also happens to be one of the richest--has just hired the biggest egomaniac coach in the history of professional sports, and is paying him more than anyone else has ever been paid to run the team, and make his decisions for him. Except that he hasn't been making basketball decisions for more than five years. Oh, and the cap-strapped team's franchise player remains the most one-dimensional star in the game, whose talents are best when pretending he's the only player on the floor.
If nothing else, this should be interesting. Jackson has his work cut out for him. Most humans could make better basketball decisions than Dolan,, and Jackson is obviously one of the better basketball minds of all time; and they actually have some cap space to work with after next year, so substantial improvement should be likely in any event if you simply help reduce the bad decisions. Making good ones, perhaps enticing a complementary star (or two) to come to NY, and using that zen Jedi mind- to make Carmelo work better with the rest of the team is the dream I guess. We'll see.
