Let’s say you got a chance to ask Zeke 1 question and he would answer it honestly, what would you ask him? Would you ask him about his rebuilding plan? Would you ask him if he regrets the Marbury trade? Or like Chris Russo, would you ask him a retarded question to get under his skin?

Since there will be a ton of threads and posts in the off-season about who should be the next coach, my question for him would be:

Do you plan on coaching the New York Knicks?

Mine would either be something about rebuilding, or I'd ask him (since he has to answer it honestly) if the moves that he makes must all be approve by the Dolans in a sense that they have to agree with the Dolans' philosophy.

I'd ask him to trade TT as soon as humanly possible.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I'd go the Chris Russo route:

"Isiah, what did you say to yourself after you threw that pass to Bird?"

I'd ask him if there was some kind of secret plan we don't know about?

I'd ask him: why did you had to trade for Mo Taylor?

Or maybe just a simple one: You have no idea how to fix this Knicks mess, right?

I would ask him who he was leaning towards in the lotto. It's all I have left right now. I mean, can you imagine if this lotto pick was going to Phoenix or something? My god, there would be nothing.

i would ask Isiah how could an intelligent and smooth talking man such as himself NOT be able to pull off a full rebuilding job in NY?

I would ask why he is allowing Dolan's money to compromise his integrity.

I wouldn't ask about future players (like draft speculation) since we don't even know where we'll be picking.

I'd ask a lot of things about Jamal Crawford because he's the only Knick who (a) is here for the long-term most likely AND (b) is drastically underachieving relative to his skill level. I'd want to know what Isiah thinks of his progress this year, particularly shot selection, defense, and size (particularly weight considering he's primarily an SG). I'd want to know what Isiah and the players (particularly Marbury and Houston) have been doing to advise Jamal. I'd want to know if Jamal is trying (or is going to try during to offseason) to gain weight and if so, how. I'd want to know why there's been so little success in these areas (weight gain, defense, shot selection) so far. And I'd try to fit that all into one question.

If I could ask about another topic, I'd have a lot of questions about Sweetney.

Well, he would have to be more specific, cause there were many an ocasion when IT did not say no, in sutuations where any staright man should have.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I would say:

Isiah its pretty clear throughout your career you have handled things in a classless manner, your Pistons walking off the court without shaking hands, your treatment of personnel, your inability to admit when you make mistakes, treating people with a total lack of regard.

Why on earth would you bring in players who have no heart and don't take pride in defense, and then complain about the salary cap and say you are in a better position today as your Knicks have 30 wins
