I don't blame the owner for putting a tight leash on it. You're in the biggest marketplace and your team sucks. Plus Isiah is the one that put together the roster. He's going to have a find a way to make it work.

At least the owner came out and said it with Isiah right next to him so there won't be a debate at the end of next season.

My guess? Isiah will be gone because you look at his resume and he stinks up every joint he goes to.

This really isn't news. Pretty much already known when he hired himself as head coach.

Team is still in shambles.

1 year is impossible with that team. I agree with you though, he dug his own grave. If he didn't trade away all those draft picks they'd be competitive right now. If i remember though he did a decent job in Indiana.

The problem is, the Suns have shooters. The Knicks have guards that couldn't shoot 45% if no one ever guarded them for an entire season.

This team is filled with one on one, scoring point guards that can't defend.
