I understand there’s an ongoing rift between James Dolan and Adam Silver. I get it. But every day, the commissioner should be rooting for the Knicks. 

And not just because of their market appeal and ratings potential. 

If you remember from Silver’s crusade to complete the media rights deals prior to last season, the commish and NBA pushed the idea that load management doesn’t work. The context was that players weren’t playing enough. 

For years.
