It doesn't make them look good. But it gives them an excuse and shifts blame. The PREMIER reason WWW and Leon Rose were hired was for them to bring stars to the Knicks, something they haven't been able to do for the last decade. And then they had the chance to get a hometown hero who wanted to be there, who spent the whole summer in NY sublty and sometimes not so subtly promoting his return to NY. The whole media spent the whole summer saying Mitchell is NYK's to lose and that they are the overwhelming favorite to get him. And then they didn't. The one thing they were brought in to do they couldn't do with the easiest deal possible for them - supposedly noone else bidding, NYK having all the picks and ...Why wouldnt Utah turn down that deal in July? They were angling for Grimes and more picks. They thought the Knicks were suckers (everyone did). Then the Knicks got mad and tried some power plays. They ****ed around and found out (enter that meme graph that I would get infracted for posting). I have no idea how this is some unbelievable spin that makes the Knicks look good. It's very believable and does not make the Knicks look good.
