Knicks fans, Isiah Thomas is your new Team President.
I think everyone figured Layden was out sometime soon, but Isiah as his replacement?????

I believe Bill Simmons would call this a Gut Punch. Courtesy of the Pacers. |

Yes, his resume with the CBA and the Pacers must have been impressive.

Wasn't that MadDog rant on WFAN at 4:40 great. The Knicks wouldn't allow anyone on the show today and he tore them up.
What comedy. |

STOP LAUGHING!!! . The Knicks are dead anyway, maybe Zeke can do somnething here. Layden made moves that were bad and got worse over time. Zeke can't do worse...

Can't possibly be worse than Layden. At times it seemed that Layden was trying to intentionaly run the team in to the ground.

Hahaha. The Knicks just hired the only guy who could possibly be worse than Layden. With Zeke's track record, MSG could be in receivership by about 2010.

I only saw a few minutes of the press conference on YES and I don't know who the guy talking was, but damn, he was bumbling and stumbling and muttering and generaly being rather incoherent, I think it was one of the owners but i'm not sure.
"The contracts of Allan Houston, Van Horn, Howard Eisley and Shandon Anderson will take up almost all of the team's salary cap space for the next three seasons" That is funny, but also a sad commentary on the NBA's salary structure. |

Actually, what's sad is that only Houston is a legitimate starter. Van Horn, Eisley, and Anderson are just role players. |

Van Horn is a solid NBA player, not as good as some thought he might be, but he's a starter.

At what position?
As someone who has watched Kieth for years I look at him as a good player off the bench but a below average starter.

At what position? He's a role player. He doesn't play post defense. He can't score inside. He is not quick enough to play with 3's and not tough enough to play with 4's. His jumper is good. But is that what you want from your power forward? I can amend the statement to, "Only Houston is a starter on a .500 team." if it makes you happy. |

It would be hard for anyone to draft worse than the Knicks have recently.
Sweetney was a real find...

Funny quote from Bill Simmons to sum this move up:
"I never thought HBO replacing "Arli$$" with "Mind of the Married Man" would be topped ... and then the Knicks replaced Scott Layden with Isiah Thomas." |

Zeke, loved him as a Piston, but come on.
How will he do more damage? As a coach or as a president? |

As president he can set the franchise back another decade. As a coach - he can merely ruin whatever games he's coaching. |
