The Knicks Just Get It

You know how some people just “Get It”? Well the Knicks are one of those ‘people’. They are just so in tuned to whats going on and so well run, it’s no wonder they keep winning championships. They make strong hires from the get go. They are great at the draft. Always get their guy. Oh, and they play great defense with their coach.
Wait, that’s Spurs, or… The Lakers. Or really anyone but the Knicks.
Isiah Thomas is BACK!! great news for everyone named Isiah Thomas.
Isiah Thomas cost the Knicks over 200 million dollars whlie he was with the team via his contract, absurd luxury tax costs due to high payroll, and his 12 million dollar sexual harassment lawsuit that they settled on with an intern.
Playoffs were never even really an option, even though they had double the salary that anyone else did.
No question Thomas is one of the greatest players of all time, and no one can forget his sprained ankle quarter where he put up like 30 points in a quarter in the playoffs. But he will also go down as not only the worst coach, but also the worst GM in NBA history (Kahn is making a hard push for it though).
Thomas will be hired as a “consultant” which means to me that they’ll eventually give him GM-ship and then the coaching reigns once again.
Isiah was just coaching FIU (and will “stay there”) last year. They put up a solid fight in UNC”s opener last year (which made me realize off the bat how bad UNC was going to be). But he had to coach for free, no one would touch him. I guess he needed money, and the Knicks have plenty of that. I’m sure he’s had a positive impact at a non-existant college basketball program with recruiting. But come on, Knicks, are we really going down this road again?
This is definitely the #1 reason Lebron James made the right decision to not go to the Knicks…. They sent Isiah to represent their team during the recruiting push.
