As fellow blogger JP reported earlier, Knicks owner James Dolan has voiced his support for GM Isiah Thomas, saying, among other things:
“Maybe some people think I’m brain-dead because of that, but time will tell.”
Maybe?
Honestly, how does Isiah still have a job? Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis in the same backcourt? Fortunately, when one of the Knicks SPG (shooting point guards) has trouble sharing the ball, Larry Brown can go to the bench for…Jamal Crawford. And Quentin Richardson.
Rumor has it Isiah is trying to lure Allan Houston out of retirement by offering him a three-year extension at $7 million per season. Gotta keep “stockpiling those assets,” right?
More from Dolan:
“I believe in the plan. I believe in the strategy. I believe in the guys who are executing it. I fully expect you to kill me in the papers tomorrow with this, but I’m going to stick with it…until we stop making progress.”
Um, exactly how much progress can a 15-42 team be making?
By the way, was I the only one who kept expecting Larry Brown to just get up and leave in the middle of the Francis press conference, shaking his head and muttering to himself?
