New York Knicks

Knicks owner James Dolan reveals that he refused to meddle with his front office's push for a Donovan Mitchell trade.

While some Knicks fans might believe that Dolan played a key role in the failed deal, the fact of the matter is that this just isn’t true — at least according to James Dolan. While some fans might think that the billionaire heavily involves himself in the day-to-day operations of his team, Dolan says that he actually didn’t use his position to try and force the Mitchell deal to push through.
