If it wasn't for basketball this guy would have "evolved" into a stalker or a serial killer, this guy is completely psycho.

Me as well. Seriously. I would just move on. Couldn't watch them bring back that guy for a second stint of destroying the franchise. Isiah must suck a pretty mean ****.

My favortie part is when he says this

Thomas guessed James would ultimately sign an extension with Cleveland that would keep him with the Cavaliers through 2010, but went about acquiring players he thought would appeal to LeBron, anyway. Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford, for instance.

"They were just all friendly, and they were all on the AAU circuit," Thomas said.

Only to follow it up with this

Curry played at a high level for Thomas for a bit, but soon enough devolved into a symbol of everything that went wrong between Seventh and Eighth avenues.
"There was a method behind the madness," Thomas said. He was confident Curry would opt out in 2010 to clear the necessary space for a fellow client of Leon Rose, name of LeBron James.

Yeah he had a plan alright. The guy that was supposed to be here to attract Lebron was actually not going to be here because he opted out? Great plan

I just hope that people will like me

"this is something that should have been posted by The Onion. please don't come back Isiah"

that's funny, i coulda sworn he traded for the contracts of Zach Randolph, Eddy Curry & Jamal Crawford when he took the job... those 3 players alone would have been on the books for about $33M worth of salary in 2010.

i forgot the include the contract of Jared Fishlips to that list, which brings the total of salary up to $40M of cap killing contracts in 2010 that he took on during his tenure... & he even gave Fishlips a 15% trade kicker to boot to practically guarantee we'd have to pay through the nose to dump his useless behind if we ever wanted to get rid of him... awesome job Isiah.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

it was all part of the plan... he would easily find takers for all those bums while adding extra draft picks too. plus eddy woulda opted out as a favor

Hey don't get all railed up. Isaih will never return to the Knicks. That's done and over with. One thing to his credit. He was one of the best point guards to put on a uniform. He was not good at being a GM.

Wishful thinking considering he already returned this summer before the NBA denied the deal.

This is just very uncool of him. Why??? Isiah why???? Why must I think about you, once again? I don't want to. We finally have a team now. It is so selfish of Isiah to do this now, in the beginning of the season. This man is trying to undermine our season, I think. Adding distractions like this. Arrrrggghhhhhh
