If anyone wouldn't be scared away from his racism scandal, it would be Louisiana.

Only because Mississippi & Alabama don't have pro teams, but yup. We are desensitized because we see institutional racism daily.

Maybe I need to go back and read the transcripts again, but it I don't remember them sounding racist. I could be mixing up Ferry and that guy that owned a portion of the Hawks... Didn't Kareem come out and defend him?

Ferry continued: "He has a store front out front that's beautiful and great, but he may be selling some counterfeit stuff behind you. And when I say that, I mean for example he can come out and be an unnamed source for a story, and two days later come out and say that was absolutely not me, I can't believe someone said that.

"He could be the lawyer in the locker room when the coach is not around, but when the coach is around he's the greatest guy in the world."

He said some pretty dumb stuff about Luol Deng. Basically he said "he has some African in him" and "he didn't mean it in a bad way."

No, I mean the buck stops with Ferry, the GM that employs those scouts. Assuming he read them in advance and wasn't reading off the cuff I just see no justification for it.

“It’s clear we need a lead guard, someone that can really carry the load, day in and day out. That’s something that I think is one of our biggest needs,” Mills said on MSG Network in “Jeff Hornacek: A Knicks Beginning.”

Arron Afflalo has an $8 million player option for the 2016-17 season. He hasn’t made a decision on the option yet, but the expectation is that he will opt out. Rookie Jerian Grant is still developing and may not be ready to take on a starting role. Jose Calderon, 34, may be best suited coming off of the bench at this point. And Tony Wroten is rehabbing a knee injury. So it makes sense that New York would prioritize the lead guard position in the offseason.

The club will have at least $18 million to spend in the offseason, and could also explore the trade market to acquire a guard. They and any other team with needs in the backcourt will have interest in free agent Mike Conley. Restricted Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson also has fans in the Knicks organization, but it seems as if Los Angeles will retain the second-year player.
