There are rumors circulating that the NY Knicks would be interested in bringing back Isiah Thomas for the role of the open general manager position. I pray that these are just rumors and that James Dolan, the Knicks owner, would not ruin this team again and alienate the fan base further.
Isiah Thomas made terrible trades, trading away draft picks for unmotivated players, then paying them way more than their worth. Then, as coach, he did little to motivate them to play any better. If Larry Brown could not bring the team of scrubs to the playoffs, Thomas would never get his "championship legacy" in NY.
In addition to just being utterly awful at his job, Thomas also cost the organization over $10 million in a lawsuit for being found guilty of sexual harassment. He claims innocence, but the judge and jury found him guilty.
So after all of that, the Knicks would consider bringing this fool back? They apparently like how he handles players, since he played before, and has a personality that lights up a room. The guys on The Michael Kay Show on ESPN 1050 last night were all for this if it meant the Knicks would improve.
If you need someone to handle the players, just use Allen Houston. He seems like a nice enough guy, and he is a fan favorite. Why bring back Isiah, the pariah?
It would be an utter slap in the face to not only the fans, but any female working for the Knicks. Hiring him back would say that sexual harassment is fine if you're good enough at your job. And that is not OK.
AND he was not good at his job. There is a reason that he coaches Florida International. After seeing what he failed to accomplish for the Knicks, no other NBA team would hire him.
So now the Knicks consider bringing him back and ruining another decade of NY basketball. They already couldn't sign LeBron, instead they'll sign Isiah.
Awesome.
