Haven't posted in a while but figured this is as good of a time as any
Link - ( New Window )
I'll believe it when I see it  
Anakim : 6/29/2018 12:43 pm : link
I'm not getting my hopes up
I won't believe it until there are signatures on a sales agreement

Please God. This would be the best Knicks news in years, probably decades.
I've seen these reports but don't want to get my hopes up.

It's not an exaggeration to say James Dolan selling the New York Knicks is the sports story that would excite me the most, and I mean out of ANYTHING. I've been fortunate to see Yankees and Giants championships, but the Knicks have been my cross to bear as a sports fan.
Boy, it is going to suck when he sells them  
Greg from LI : 6/29/2018 12:47 pm : link
And the buyer turns out to be Jeffrey Loria
Surprised he didn't sell them years ago.  
bceagle05 : 6/29/2018 12:58 pm : link
Does he get an ounce of enjoyment out of owning the Knicks? Poor Jimmy. So sick of his hangdog face sitting courtside - you can tell he's a drain on everyone in the building. I seriously fucking hate the guy.
With our luck

The Wilpons will buy the team.

Will be happy. Any chance Cuban can sell the Mavericks and buy the Knicks.
That last photo surrounded by former Knicks is my favorite.  
bceagle05 : 6/29/2018 1:11 pm : link
It was right after the Oakley disaster - "Quick, wire $500K to every former Knick you can locate and have them sit next to me at the next home game! I love these guys!"
Watch him swap

Even worse - Michael Jordan
He's spinning the teams off, not selling them.

They'll just be a separate entity from the venue side of the business. It's essentially the same thing MSG did when they spun off the networks side of the business.

The speculation is he wants to sell the teams separately and retain ownership of the venue side of the business. But nobody really knows.

reminds me of the movie The Goods. Walt Frazier and Spike Lee convinced him to go on tour, play the Florida Panhandle.
Those are some great song lyrics lol

oh yeah, you oversee the decline of a proud sports franchise as a trust fund kid and the people that call you out on that are the assholes.
Sell the damn team if it's such a

get rid of Glen Sather? We can only hope.
Upsetting to me atleast  
DennyInDenville : 6/29/2018 3:39 pm : link
I thought he was a great owner in the financial sense I love him owning the Knicks and thought it was just a matter of time before he turned the curve and become Steinbrenner lite..

Oh well

Maybe he will but the Mets and buy them some pennants
Well, he could always sell it to Lebron...  
JohnF : 6/29/2018 5:46 pm : link
that's probably the only way he plays here!
I don't think a statement really means anything,  
Mad Mike : 6/29/2018 6:18 pm : link
but the Garden has issued a statement saying there aren't any plans to sell the teams.

If you’re referring to the 5th picture, that’s Olivia Wilde.

You're right, that is the speculation. Which is different from what I posted.
