Knicks Don't Re-Sign Donnie Walsh

Last Firday afternoon the news came out that the Knicks were able to bring back President Donnie Walsh. The man who single handedly brought the Knicks back to relevancy.

Walsh became the Knicks president on April 2, 2008. Remarkably, it only took him roughly three years to right the ship in New York, cleaning up the horrific mess that Isiah Thomas left.

Walsh was able to creatively move all these giant contract and eventually found a way to get Amare Stoudemire and able to eventually make the trade for Carmelo.

James Dolan is out of his mind, and you know what he's going to do? Bring Isiah back. This move makes no sense, I guess Walsh only wanted a one year deal and the Knicks wanted to sign him long term, but who cares? Sign him for 1 year and deal with it next year.

Oh well.... looks like the Knicks will be back to being the laughing stock of the NBA again.

Knicks Smarter Than They Look?

"Knicks president Donnie Walsh is close to signing a contract extension with the team and has been told that owner James Dolan won't bring back Isiah Thomas in any capacity, reports Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Berman writes: "Walsh is expected to be granted permission to hire his successor as a central part of a new agreement that should be formally announced shortly. ... Dolan has remained friendly with Thomas but no longer trusts him to the point of giving him another basketball job (ESPN)."

Thank fucking Christ!!!! This story has perplexed me from the very beginning. This would be like the Celtics firing Doc Rivers and giving Rick Pitino another shot (maybe even worse). So rest easy Knick fans, it looks like the black cloud that is Isiah Thomas (and his life) are not going to be hovering over MSG anytime soon.

There are rumors that Allan Houston could be the next guy that comes in and tries to run the Knicks. I always like him, so I'm glad he gets a shot.
