EducatedBet…Problems in NYC!

Former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas has been banned from having any contact with members of the team as part of his reassignment agreement with team president Donnie Walsh.

Walsh, who replaced Thomas as the Knicks’ president, fired him as coach last week after Thomas went 56-108 as coach, including this season’s 23-59 disaster, the franchise’s seventh straight losing season. He has been reassigned as an advisor to the team. According to the report, there is concern that Thomas, if allowed to have any contact with the team, could either willingly or unwillingly undermine its new coach. Thomas acquired all the players on the current Knicks roster as team president. This according to ESPN.com.

Walsh said he wants a new coach in place by the draft in June, when the Knicks will finally have their lottery pick again after handing over their last two to Chicago in the Eddy Curry trade. Mark Jackson has been portrayed as the front-runner to succeed Thomas. I have a very strange feeling that this is going to be a very long off season for the Knicks and the people of NYC.

There team is a mess, they have no coach, and the fans are getting sick of losing…and next year does not look promising at all. Is it time to bring back Patrick Ewing and Jeff Van Gundy…I think so, that would be the only way this team would be good and they are in the east where you can be 10 games under 500 and still be in the playoffs. I am glad that I am not a Knicks fan because if I was I would be PISSED! But like I said before they are in the east and who knows maybe they will step up there game and win 40 games next season and make the playoffs…but I doubt it.
