Now that Donnie Walsh is the President of B-Ball Operations of the Knicks, and we saw his press conference what do you think his decision will be regarding Isiah's future with the Knicks?
Isiah completely fired, has no role with Knicks
Isiah fired as coach, but stays on in some other form as a scout, consultant, or assistant GM, etc.
Isiah remains coach
Isiah goes postal killing all remaining who've undermined his success: Dolan, Walsh, Steph, Curry, Z-Bo, James, Jeffries, etc.

If Isiah had the balls to be a man he would do the right thing and just effing quit. But he has sunk sooo low he would need a stepladder to look a snake in the eye. So Walsh has to make a pretty tough call between keeping him around in some capacity or getting rid of him altogether.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

I don't like Isiah anymore than anyone else, but would you honestly leave all that money on the table and quit? I highly doubt it, so why would Isiah?

Oh yeah, you just know isiah would never leave that money. Just another sign that he was milking dolan all along.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Funny thing is i only started disliking Isiah like couple of years ago. I am always interested the most in can a person accomplish at whatever it is that their task may be. Just so happens that Layden wasn't better so i was glad we had a chance at something new with Isiah. I even liked the Marbury trade. I didn't know Isaiah nor Marbury really b4 they came to NY. Now that i got i got to know them i think it would be ideal if both weren't at least near the team in the future, as great as it may feel for the players to be adored and respected (which i think is a good thing) if there is no constructive criticism the players have little chance to improve, not like they would if they had a coach who'd have the cofidence to be strict with the players and help them evolve their games

I was about the same on those two also. When isiah came here, I thought it was a great move. I was actually proud to have isiah as our GM. Up until mid last season. After the James and Curry moves and saw that it was a total waste is when I started to question what he was trying to do.

With starbury, I heard of his problems on other teams, but thought he'd be okay if he came back to NY. I was only looking at his stats and didn't really know the man. I won't be making that' mistake anymore.

Walsh has my full support and I hope to God he doesn't turn into anyting like we had the last several years.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Whenever Isiah is fired, I will be able to make my best video to date: Farewell Isiah Tribute.

It will be grand.

Hopefully i have the chance to do it.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Im getting the impression that Walsh is way too smart to keep Isiah around. Hes gone

Pretty good job of predicting things by most folks.

11 : 30.56% Isiah completely fired, has no role with Knicks
21 : 58.33% Isiah fired as coach, but stays on in some other form as a scout, consultant, or assistant GM, etc.
4 : 11.11% Isiah remains coach
0 : 0% Isiah goes postal killing all remaining who've undermined his success: Dolan, Walsh, Steph, Curry, Z-Bo, James, Jeffries, etc.

This was common sence prediction.
All the rest was daydreaming.

Isiah will end up as a scout, and probably help out with drafting players.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Keep him.

If we have to keep him, then give him absolutely 'nothing' to do. Buy out his last year to take the jinx off of us.
I'll never trust this' team again.
What will Walsh do with Isiah?
