    Okay I know a lot of people hate Isiah Thomas, seeing all the posts that end with fire Isiah Thomas. Well I like Isiah Thomas, a Chicago native with a deceiving smile, he was a great a player and a good coach. He definetely deserves a job in the NBA. I came across an article that finally defends Isiah Thomas, whew, out of like 500 others...the blame is put more on the owner Dolan who gives Isiah the orders basically, read the article:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">People blame team president Isiah Thomas for the Knicks' payroll, but he's simply following orders...Thomas is one of the league's best draft evaluators (see Tracy McGrady and Channing Frye).</div>

    Nice article Ian Thomsen, I'm glad there is more than one supporter of Isiah Thomas...

    Are you serious? I think you and the columnist have got the role of owner and GM mixed up. Isiah makes the decisions, Dolan gives him the money. The only thing Dolan can be criticized for is not putting his foot down, after Isiah continues to abuse the payroll. Isiah's drafting is pretty much the only positive. He gives out ridiculous contracts. And he swings those trades that just bury the team further and futher. Sometime I just can't believe some of the people that are allowed to write columns.

    Isiah isn't as bad as many say he is, but he really does need to be fired.


    Anyway, I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.

    Thomas inherited a mess, and he has just made it worse...but its hard to be a gm in a market that refuses to be rebuilt. The Knicks can't afford to rebuild with youth....but it seems that they are gonna suffocate under these massive contracts for crappy players for years to come

    isiah thomas is not worthy of a gm spot. i agree that he is a great draft evaluator, but you have to have much more skill than that to be a gm. he basically put together a team filled with names, and none of their talents compliment each other. in order for the knicks to start winning, they will need a new gm
