If NBA owner, would you hire Isiah Thomas?

Dawoofdaddy · Mar 29, 2006

I would, but this is about the only equipment he would be using for his new job.

ClipJoint · Mar 29, 2006

In all honesty, the worst job of any GM ever. It is amazing anyone could let this go on.

Insiders · Mar 29, 2006

It just keeps getting worse too!

However I wouldnt make him in charge of that department since the first thing he'd deal if sign an exclusive with pine sol and max out the area salesmen.

Matt Millen might beat him out for the top spot.
Remember Detriot Lion Fans had a Millen Man March
to show the Ford family that Millen must go.

Not even close in my opinion...look at the payrolls.

But again, look at the payrolls. There were a lot of shitty teams, but none of them were so poorly put together. He is taking on TERRIBLE contracts, giving up terrible contracts that were coming off the books, and filling the team with point guards that can only play shooting guard.

Clip did you here Garnett the other day he said he would love to play with Marbury again someday and he said it would probably not happen in Minnesota.

But how could Thomas ever fit Garnetts big contract into the knicks salary cap.

But it would bring the NBA back to the Garden

A washed up Penny Hardaway collected alot of money in NY for nothing much besides holding a roster spot and keeping trainers busy.

Ball hog Stephon Marbury.

Another ball hog and poutbox Steve Francis.

Doesnt want Kurt Thomas...he actually plays some D and doesnt shoot 25 jumpers per game.

Suprised he hasnt inked Mutombo to a 5 yr 145 million deal along with his 2.6 ppg / 4.7 rpg.

Who is next? Grant Hill for 24 million to play a few games? Should be able to scratch & claw another 8 game season from his tool box ankles.

:think:

This was one of the funniest and worst trades he made...Hardaway was coming off the books. So he sat through most of that contract as a Knick and when he was finally going to come off the books and free up space, he trades him and picks up a long term high priced contract.

Absolute idiot.

The Dolans and Isiah Thomas will go down in history as the 2 worst things to ever happen to the Knicks. They drove that team straight into the ground.

Isiah is dumber than a box of rocks. On the court he may have had the Midas touch, but off the court it's more like the "Hindenburg" touch...oh the humanity!!!!

ElJefe · Mar 30, 2006

Hell no. He was a great player but it ended there.

winkyduck · Mar 30, 2006

HELL NO

What has he done business wise

Bought the CBA (with other people's money - you can be sure of that) and then ran it into the ground

Since taking over the Knicks he has gotten the team's payroll to a level BEYOND the GNP of almost all 3rd world countries COMBINED - and this team SUCKS. they had a chance to do something by KEEPING Penny Hardaway's contract on the payroll because this is the last year of it and when it caem off the books they would have had his salary slot to sign someone but then he went and traded away Penny

Isiah once said of Larry Bird if he was Black he'd be just another guy. Well, if Isiah was WHITE and pulled this crap he would have been fired a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time ago. if Knicks' owenrship actually had a CLUE (and we know they don't) they would have fired Isiah a LONG time ago. Actually they NEVER would have hired him. Not like any of us never saw this coming. most of us KNEW what is happening would happen

Thomas Needs To Be Relieved Of His Duties Asap..

royalfan · Mar 30, 2006

He has failed in everything besides playing. Ran the CBA into bankrupty, couldn't coach the very talented pacers worth a shit, and then this debacle.

OMNIVOROUS FROG · Mar 30, 2006

My ol favorite GM Zeke. I used to have him and Mitch Kupcake neck and neck, luckily Zeke this season sprinted to the first for worst. Absorbed every bad contract possible, while dumping good ones just coming off the books. Has assembled a noncompetitive squad with me first non team players, mostly castoffs and don't wants. Signed proved stiff Jerome James, when he was about to be waived. Picked up I hate Coach Brown Jalen Rose, and I hate everybody Stevie Francis. Had self appointed best point guard Marbury already. Traded all needed draft picks, no chance of a lottery Ewing jackpot. The Knicks are not just destroyed this season, they are buried for years of bad contracts, no draft picks, no one to trade and one pissed off fan base. Oops almost forgot the sex scandal. Guy has left a swath of destruction where ever he has been. The Hoosiers looked at him, for a nanosecond. No one in the NBA would touch him with a 50 foot pole. Word around the laegue is, got a malcontent, a bad contract, contact Zeke. Not just the worst this year, but possibly the worst all time.

Best Wishes...OF :howdy:
