"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.
