Will it be any worse than with L. Brown....I say it can not be any worse, only that Isiah, will have to FIRE himself at the end of the year...

no it won't be a disaster - hard to be worse than this past season

what in Isiah's past makes ANYONE think he will succeed here

was it his time in the CBA
was it his time as HC of the Pacers

what?

i know Isiah has pix of high power guys to get jobs like this

we should just call him

He should go ahead and sign some more point guards since 5 is not enough.

He watched a lot of Villanova games last year and got inspired. No big men neccessary.

isiah will fail this year as a coach, and find someone to blame it on. Maybe he'll blame it on Larry for tainting his guys. Regardless, Isiah will never admit he does any wrong, he's running a good franchise into the ground.
Seriously, how many goddamn point guards can you have on your team? Not to mention he loves to trade away cap flexibility for shoot-first point guards.

Applicants for his assistant are being taken as we speak..Anyone who takes it should negotiate for full payment upon dismissal..Could be the quickest tenure, so get what you can..

Phil Ford..one year in NY with Brown and gone..What bad breaks..He never was even mentioned for the Tarheel job before they brought in the cry baby..

Zeek is the absolute worse, being a Piston fan I just wish he would have just retired. He is so bad at what he does now it has almost tarnished his HOF playing career. The guy has shown what a complete asshole he is. Zeek's ego is so huge he actually thinks he can turn every under achieving street thug into a great player. The guy will be out of a job before the NBA allstar break

I always he retired to soon as a player....his post playing career started out well, but has quickly went south for years now.

Isiah is horrible.

With that being said, he will only come out of this looking better because it can't get any worse than last season. I am sure the Knicks will suck but they will improve from last year which will make him look a lot smarter than he is.

What he did in the front office of this team is worse than anything I have ever seen in any of the major sports.

Isiah's last stand

a marriage made in heaven

could there be a worst GM in the NBA?

You have some dead weight, maybe an overpriced player, or somebody with an attitude problem?

just call Isiah :103631605

he'll take them off your hands.

a lot of NBA coaches would love to have Isiah's overall coaching record. I say he gets the Knicks back to 500 next season.

anyone hear Mike and Mike this morning with the theory that Larry Brown did everything he could to lose on purpose in an effort to get Thomas fired, and take over as GM/Coach.

the knicks will probably regret his lack of success if that was his desire...






after reading that again no way i think thats possible, it does provide an excuse for their shitty performance.

Larry Brown has WAY too much pride to lose at all...let alone on purpose.

That topic doesn't seem to make sense..."let me fail miserably so I can get promoted".
