When something like that happens, it means something other than pure basketball was in the way. “And the reason you got the job is because your experience in negotiating. “…You got other people on the phone negotiating with Danny Ainge and you’re a former agent” Smith said. Smith claimed Rose also delegated at least one negotiation (a possible trade with the Jazz for Donovan Mitchell, who eventually was shipped to Cleveland) to another Knicks executive. When Rose speaks into a microphone, he usually talks to an MSG Network voice. It’s fact that Rose, like Dolan, is not accessible to the media.
