New York Knicks: Donnie Walsh's Resignation Looks Bad for James Dolan

Earlier this week, it was reported that Donnie Walsh and the New York Knicks were closing in on a multi-year extension that would keep the parties happily together for the foreseeable future.

That certainly seems like a long time ago now.

After Walsh's sudden resignation from his position as President of Basketball Operations on Friday morning, the Knicks will struggle to replace his brilliance in the front office, despite his agreement to stay on in a consulting role.

The reason that Walsh decided to leave his post was owner James Dolan's inability to commit to the mastermind for multiple seasons, which simply makes no sense.

Furthermore, Dolan was insisting that Walsh, who helped to deliver his team out of financial ruins, take a substantial pay decrease if he sought to return.

It's just another poor display on the part of Dolan, who continues to look like one of the most out of touch owners in the game.
