Knicks could end up sabotaging their whole rebirth effort depending on if Dolan brings back Isiah Thomas as the man in charge instead of Donnie Walsh.
Supposedly Walsh is pissed off Thomas is taking some credit for the move of getting Melo and might not get the full power needed to complete the Big 3 that he wants and have them play the way he feels is the best.
Its strong enough that he is considering leaving after the season but money might convince him to stay at a lower role or gets a big raise and keeps his power/role.
The new CBA might be tough enough to prevent the Knicks from spending to get Chris Paul since it could close the loophole that lets you spend over the cap as long as you pay the luxury tax (last i heard its $1 for every dollar over the upper cap limit). Or if they get Paul, almost no chance at depth in defense due to lack of cap space.
