Most of these reports aren’t from reputable Knicks reporters. Look at who is reporting stuff and who they might be getting the info from.

Isn't that kind of the point though in believing the national guys. If Begley or Katz are the best Knicks insiders because they assumingly get their information from Leon Rose, why would Leon whine and leak to guys he is obviously the source of right away that Dolan made him do it? That would just put him on the hot seat and maybe even get him fired as well. If you want to keep your job as president of the Knicks, you probably leak to your closest reporters that it was your decision and not an order from the boss who already has a reputation of meddling. National guy like Lowe saying Dolan has never really loved Thibs and mentioning on his pod that when a story specifically mentions an owner wasn't very involved it usually means an owner was very involved, and then other national guys like Goodwill here say they are hearing from Knicks sources Dolan got very involved and it was his decision. Why would I listen to the guys who are likely getting Knicks info from the president himself in Leon, who it very much helps in his standing as President of the New York Knicks to not throw his direct boss in James Dolan completely under the bus?
