Isiah Thomas Must be Fired

I just came from church so let me try not to be so profane about this.

Isiah Thomas is trying to save his own neck again by putting the blame on someone else. He did it with Larry Brown, he did it with Lenny Wilkins. He has reassembled this roster several times over to no avail. Not one of the teams Isiah has built has had any chemistry, and although he has an eye for drafting good players, he has no vision of a cohesive basketball team.

Now Isiah is trying to blame Stephon Marbury for his failures. Before the season started, Isiah and Mark Aguirre asked Stephon to change game to be more of a ball distributor for the Knicks. Stephon, having so much faith in stupid Isiah, has agreed to anything and everything the CBA bankruptor Isiah has said. The knicks, now 5-10 (although .500 on the road where Isiah can't make the home team turn against Marbury) look as bad as last years 23 win team.

I don't know if I've said this here or not but now I believe we must fire Isiah. Fire him before makes any more moves that make Frank Layden look like a basketball genius. Fire Isiah before he bankrupts MSG, before he give away unprotected lottery picks for lard-asses devoid of competitive spirit, fire Isiah before the richest team in the league looses what has been the most loyal fan base of any team in the NBA over the past 30 years. Let Isiah go, let Isiah commentate on that shite network ABC/Disney/ESPN, because after shaming the knicks with his presence these past 4 or 5 years, he'll never work in the NBA again as anything more than a draft scout.

I should have known he wouldn't have worked for the Knicks, he was traded here from detroit in the final days of his basketball career only to refuse to play for them. what was Isiah's quote regarding similar Antonio Davis signing?
"This ain't charity".

But it would only be divine benevolence for Isiah to resign his positions with the Knicks and never come back.


Who should the knicks hire if and when Isiah Thomas makes his exodus from New York? Why not have Kiki as GM? He is a former Knick who has also assembled an athletic roster in Dever only a few years ago. I think either Herb Williams or Mike Fratello would be fine replacements for Isiah the coach as well.


Fire Isiah!
