Walsh confirmed that the scouts were high on Jennings last year. Walsh basically said they should have pushed harder for them. I will find the exact quote and update my post.

"I couldn't get a feel for his game," Walsh said of Jennings last month. "One scout said he thought Brandon Jennings was very good. I said, 'If he's that good you should come in my door every five minutes and tell me.'"

Walsh makes the final call on who we draft NOT the scout. Was the scout supposed to jump on Walsh's desk and stomp his feet until Walsh drafted Jennings?

uh, yeah, he was supposed to stomp his feet. it also says that this dude is not often in touch with the knicks organization and he was more contact with isiah than the knicks. AND he advised some HS player to go play for FIU... dude is shady and in isiah's pocket.

this whole story is all about the divisive power struggle that isiah is still leading in this organization. he did it against larry brown and now it looks like he's waging war against donnie walsh.

donnie's side puts out a story about the scouts behaving illegally so he is finally allowed to make changes to the scouting department.

isiah's side responds that his guys wanted jennings.

i'm so sick of isiah. he's toxic.

IF the levels of comminication is not there then fix it. If Donnie needs his boys on his side to do so then Donnie is right.

Other teams passed on Jennings also.

And Milwaukee has made some bad picks also in the last few years.

Hill was more polished and tradeable than would Jennings if he was not given the reigns right away.

Good for Milwaukee to get lucky and promote the rookie as they did. Usually is does not work that way. Young skinny arrogant players often flame out under the pressure and bright lights. Jennings gave a crap workout by donnies accounts and none of Isiahs boys jumped up and down to say otherwise.

Where is Miss Cleo when you need her.

LOL more excuses. Isiah Thomas no longer works for MSG. Their is no power struggle because Isiah is ALL the way in Florida.

You seriously believe Walsh pushed the story about the scouts behaving illegally? It makes him look bad too.

Isiah could be dead and people will still make excuses about how his ghost is ruining the organization.

So... the US has no affect on China by this reasoning. you do not have to be their to exert influence
for all we know Dolan calls Thomas on a daily basis.
