Dolan Vetoes Knicks' Deal With Raptors For Kyle Lowry

[Xover]

The New York Knicks were prepared to trade Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace, plus either Iman Shumpert, Tim Hardaway Jr. or a 2018 first round pick to the Toronto Raptors for Kyle Lowry, but owner James Dolan has vetoed the deal.

The Raptors preferred a first round pick from the Knicks.

Dolan had previously dealt with Raptors' GM Masai Ujiri on the 2011 deal for Carmelo Anthony when he was with the Denver Nuggets.

“Dolan didn’t want to get fleeced again by Masai,” said a source. “They had a deal ready.”

The Knicks had decided to move forward with the deal on Wednesday evening, but Dolan had second thoughts on Thursday.

“There are two problems,” the source said. “Dolan didn’t like that someone from his group leaked it to the media, and the other problem is the Knicks seem to have too many (people) involved with making decisions.”

I'm glad you posted this here instead of the existing thread because it's much better to divide the topic in two and clutter the board.

let's be real here.
1. nobody wants to go through an existing 15 page thread of a potential trade when half the board probably didn't expect to see a result as of this minute.
2. the board is full of crap at the moment anyway

So basically the main reasons why he didn't want to do the deal WEREN'T basketball related?

people underestimate the impulsive and irrational streak of Dolan. For him it's never business it's always personal

[el gringos]

Good and bad news. Good that this isn't the deal to make for the knocks. Bad that they might not be prepared to find and get the right deal. Those assests should be available- the target should be dragic though

Non-Basketball Reasons.

Dolan vetoed the trade, but it can be overridden with a 2/3 majority of Knick executives.

I learned that in elementary school.

One of our Knick fan brethern thinks Dolan can be overthrown by his board of directors from the company which he owns 51% of. :lol That was a funny thread.

He doesn't trust his management and it gets aired out in bad ways. Like this time when management apparently has a deal that Dolan vetoes.
It just sounds so disjointed and like they're not really working together.
Last time it was Donnie Walsh who was negotiation and then Dolan comes in, shuts down negotiation and just goes ahead with the trade.

He probably likes it this way, he gets to make big time management decisions when he wants but doesn't get the daily hassle.

If Dolan was serious about getting someone in charge he would have hired Masai himself.

Unless you're of the belief that Tim Hardaway jr will be a franchise player, I think its time to just blow it up. Get some picks and dump as much of the roster as possible.

If their blowing it up, might as well keep Hardaway Jr. He's young and could be a solid player for them in the future.

Has MWP provided so little that the Kinicks are already ready to cut ties with him in a trade? Legitimately asking since I haven't seen a lot of Knicks games and when I have, he hasn't done much at all.

Kind of makes me sad being a Lakers fan. We have younger plays who have replaced him but he always played hard and loved being a Laker so I wish him to succeed wherever he goes. For as many boneheaded moves as he made, he always tried hard even when others had already quit.
