How long will the Isaiah Thomas regime harm the Knicks?

This dedicated to the David Lee fan who is bored. I am also not just talking about on the court results, but image and finances as well with the contracts and sexual harassment charges. Feel free to addrees any or all of these issues.

Frankly, I just can't see anything good that really came out of his time in NY.

    The Kincks are the richest franchise in the NBA. How? How? Could one person just make constant bad move after bad move. I would put money I could pick at least 10 YA users that wouldve done better then Isiah and had alot less sexual harassment.

    I think its next offseason is the key. Yes they are making space for the so called "LeBron" stakes. But they can improve grealty with other FA's next year if LeBron is not available. They can make huge improvements.

    And as they said on the Rome show. Isiah should be called "Sadim". Thats "Midas" backwards. King Midas all he touched turned to Gold. So Isiah "Sadim" all he touches turns to POPO!!!

    Haha hell yeah, thank you man! xD

    Yes, Isiah Thomas hurt us big time. He brought out a horrible record, and the only good thing he gave us is Nate Robinson..

    I despise Isiah for what he did. Eddy Curry at starting C above David Lee ? Lee averaged a double-double off of the bench. The BENCH.

    And I guess he was experimenting with line-ups ?

    Mardy Collins, Eddy Curry, Channing Frye, Steve Francis, and Jarred Jeffries all in one line-up.

    He was horrible for us in the 06-07 season... He would probably helped more if he played, he is a horrible coach.

    The 07-08 season was horrible. Zach Randolph didn't help us. He only caused more problems with Marbury, Crawford, and Richardson.

    Again, Eddy Curry is starting ahead of David Lee...

    Anyway, I lost some respect for Isiah Thomas after that sexual harassment charge, he is a messed up person right now.

    Eddy Curry is getting paid like 10 mil a year for someone he plays like 10 MPG.

    Whatever. Thank you for the awesome question :)

    Hmmmm. Tough to say, but not as soon as people once thought; especially if there's a lockout next year of some sorts, as the Salary Cap gets tighter. They have a 'solid' few youngsters in David Lee, Jordan Hill and Wilson Chandler.

    They've made the right 'beginning', by hiring a quality General Manager in Donnie Walsh and coach in Mike D'Antoni; but I certainly agree, even if they did manage to land a prized free agent not named LeBron James, they're still two to three years away. Isaiah really did a number on this team and organization as a whole.

    But as I said, with Walsh and D'Antoni, they're taking baby steps forward.

    Winning seems to solve most of these problems in sports. Bottom line is when the Knicks start winning people will forget. It will be like the Yankees. All the steroid users and crap they go through publically means nothing now that they are winning.

    Simple as that Winning covers up all drama like a blanket. So the question is when will the Knicks be good again. Anywhere from 2 to 3 years.

    whilst they first employed him I remember thinking "What the hell???" he's left on no longer-so great words everywhere he's been interior the previous, left the CBA is shambles....he's merely has had a undesirable consequence extra often than no longer, and alter into disliked as a participant even in spite of the undeniable fact that he's interior the corridor of attractiveness. I knew this crap replace into going to take place to the Knicks whilst he got here aboard, and that i think of the combat this previous weekend stands out as the nail interior the coffin. If he's no longer fired quickly he would be on the top of the season.

    Thomas made questionable trades, but some good draft picks (Wilson Chandler). Once more talent is acquired, team will improve. They have a good coach in place.
