Here are some management decision that have the Knicks under pressure:(some may have been forgotten).

-Sprewell (the heart of the Knicks at the time) traded for Keith Van Horn
-Traded Ewing (instead of waiting for his contract to expire)
-Traded for Steve Francis in exchange of Penny Hardaway's expiring contract.
-Signed Jerome James to a massive contract
-Signed Clarence Weatherspoon to a less massive contract than James
-Buyouts of Jalen Rose, Shandon Anderson, Maurice Taylor, Allan Houston (without using the "Houston rule"), Jerome Williams
-The hiring/firing of Larry Brown.
-The sexual harassement charges against MSG and Isiah Thomas
