Knicks: Interesting Comment at the Derek Fisher Presser

There were a couple of interesting tidbits during the impressive introduction of Derek Fisher today.  First, their framing of Carmelo's decision as opt in and opt out was interesting, because it implies that if he opts out he's gone.  Second,  Mills sort of butted in at one point and drew a distinction between how Fisher and Jackosn, with their championship pedigree would be more attractive to FA's.   What he didn't say was, they would be more attractive to FA's than the ringless Donnie Walsh was.   This sort of does make it seem like Donnie being in a wheelchair when they were talking to LeBron was responsible for him not signing.   That was a sort of wow, as I had never believed that was part of the decision before, but now, you have to think it was part of it, or that Mills is pushing an old agenda.   Interesting stuff.  But Fisher was really impressive.
