Chad asks interesting questions reguarding the Knicks before he got there, Isiah, D'Antoni reason he hired him, and the draft.

Does he have a good reason for why Isiah is still with the team?

If not, it's just more fluff from Dolan's PR people.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

His reason for hiring D'Antonio Mcdyess vs Mark Jackson made no sense. He said it didn't make sense to hire a lesser coach.


Then why was Mark even a candidate to begin with?

He was going to be the lesser coach 100 times out of 100. He hired D'Antonio Sabato Jr. simply because he became available and was the biggest name out there. If he remained in Phx we all know Mark Jackson the lesser coach would be coaching our team. LOL then he went on to give the example how he did this before hiring Bird the lesser coach taking over for the more experienced coach Brown and relating how Bird took them to the Finals when Larry didn't and you have Chad Fraud lapping this Ish up like a puppy drinking water out his dish bowl instead of calling him out on the hypocrisy. Seriously I don't the screws are all there with Walsh.

The obvious reason for that was because they didn't want ot buy him out he was owed $18 million and they had no intention of giving him a lump sum. That was money they could possibly use to purchase late first roound picks. Or they money they could use to pay Anucha.

Spoke about:

-2010 FA & desire to have cap space, spoke about discipline associated with that
-D'antoni at length
-finding out who the players were after a system & a coach who coaches is in place

It was a good piece. Who gives a rat's a_ss about where Isiah is now? He's not part of the future or present. If he's scouting Serbian waterboys, good...make him work for the $ they technically owe him.

Are we allowed to be hopeful about anything? I mean, after years of unmitigated crap, can't we be hopeful? Can't we enjoy a the hiring of an elite coach or anticipate a lottery pick w/o all the negativity?

LOL He's opening the door to backtracking chewing into the cap space. He said there would be exceptions and clarified a few players would qualify for those exceptions. Discipline would have to be exercised but if say..... Michael Redd can be had we're biting because he's the quintessential D'Antonio Banderas player. Throw in Jermaine O'neal as a possible also.



GOD BLESS AND GOOD NIGHT!

Its funny how they want Walsh to throw Isiah under the bus. What is he suppose to say that Isiah is a scumbag. Come on no decent man throws anyone under the bus especially when they are friends from the past. No matter how you really feel about a person you just don't say anything controversial.

Yeah, that makes no sense. They owed him that money regardless. So explain why this moron is still doing basketball related jobs for the team. Maybe because he did such a great job with all the other ones he did for the team the last 4 1/2 years.

I'm pretty sure Cablevision has enough money in the old til to pay for those things.

Au'contraire, Isiah is very much still a part of the Knicks present.

Give me a freaking break. Some people want certain players to be drafted, some don't want certain players drafted. Some people wanted D'Antonio to be hired as head coach. Some people didn't want him and hoped for others to be named coach. Most people wanted Isiah gone. Some people are stupid enough to think that Isiah isn't a part of this franchise still.

How is firing someone who everyone in the free world completely agrees deserves to be fired, throwing him under the bus??? Do you even know what that saying is supposed to mean?

What would have been controversial about firing Isiah? Keeping him around is controversial, not the other way around. Who would have thought badly of Walsh if he had done the right thing and fired Isiah? I don't expect an answer, because there is none.

Yes he is owed the money but when you fire someone you have to give it all at once. Just like Larry Brown got. Trust me even big business realize when they are buying out people to often. With Larry Brown, Anucha Brown that right there is close to $50 million. If you add Isiah to the List with another 18 million your at close to 68 million in just basically paying people off in less than one year. And I know you want Marbury bought out to so add his heft $20 million and you at 88 mill in paying people off. Instead of doing that let Isiah work in non related manner with zero input. And just let Marbury expire. Use the money saved to possibly pick up late first round picks.

I think your misunderstanding Isles, everyone know what Isiah is I'm sure it wouldn't help Walsh to go out and ridicule Isiah in public. It would have made a lot of us happy but at the same time the Media would have a field day with Walsh thats just the way it is. It wouldn't have been pretty for Walsh. I know there is no defending Isiah and there shouldn't be because he is and always will be a con artist.

Mark Jackson wouldn't be viewed as a lesser coach if he's competing against himself for the job. The inexperienced Jackson is obviously a lesser coach than a man who has average 58 wins per over the last 4 seasons. If Phil Jackson and D'Antoni became available at the same time, and Walsh hired Phil Jackson, the statement Walsh made about not hiring the lesser coach would still apply.

Getting fired doesn't speed up the terms of their contract. Isiah would still be getting paid at the same rate for the remaining years of the contract. Larry was bought out after Dolan refused to pay him anything and it went to Stern for arbitration. Anucha was a civil court verdict that had to be paid in a lump sum. Cablevision didn't even feel either of them combined.

Isiah has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars but won't get fired because of $18M that he's going to get anyway??

Yeah, that was it.

If Larry Brown was denied some of his contract by David Stern, I have to believe that an incompetent, franchise destroying, sexual harassing, narcississt, racist might be denied some of his contract if Dolan/Walsh were willing to go there. Maybe there needs to be an ethics clause for coaches and team presidents.
