    It's bad press but besides the allegation that she won't correspond with Dame these are all very old stories being rehashed. We all should have known about the smuggling controversy, we all should have known about the security being harrassed and the "toxic work environment" piece seems like they're holding her resposible for Neil's behavior which if they can prove she knew about it for a long time until she wanted to fire him it could be something but that's a stretch. The Post is a rag, I am quite sure this story was bought and paid for. It's no coincidence that it comes directly after her statement or her statement came directly before the article.

    Despite all of that it is bad press. The Dame thing needs to be looked into. I just wish she'd sell the team to the Knights.

    KD demands a trade after signing a 4 year contract and Dame posts about loyalty having a shelf life over a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge....it's not rocket science to guess he's referring to KD

    Does it make any sense at all that she'd refuse to talk to Lillard yet be in the draft room and FaceTime Sharpe?

    I'm thinking no.

    She was in the draft room & was very excited about drafting Sharpe. It’s laughable to think she wouldn’t want to talk to Dame anytime he wants. I’ve read/heard that they have talked numerous times.

    Dame has said he talks to Jody..
    I thought you wanted respectable journalism? Then you link the NY Post? Do you actually believe this story? It has nothing to do with why Jody released her statement but it does reek of Knicks buying a fake news piece to stir up the Dame lobby.

    Nike probably paid, via a PR Firm, the Post to write this. It happens more than you realize, even with major media outlets.

    My take on this:

    1. Larry Miller quotes are obviously pro Nike for a reason. The fact that the NY Post doesn't mention he worked for Nike is telling.
    2. The NY Post is far from reliable
    3. All the stories are believable
    4. I still want Jody and the Vulcans gone. Phil buying the team would be an A+ move.
    5. You take Dame's calls, even if he just wants to shoot the shit.

    The saddest part about the NY Post is that it is still better than the NY Times.

    She fired the guy Paul hired, traded CJ and all the new players Neil brought in....I have no problem with her owning the team...Paul didn't bring a championship to Portland...she just might...I don't know. I have no problem with Phil Knight either
