This is great news. Sure, the haters are squawking, but they always do that. I am thrilled to hear that Cap'n Zeke's continuing contributions to the Knicks can finally be acknowledged. I feel confident that, over time, Dolan will maneuver Isiah back to his rightful position as GM.
This is the man who rescued the franchise and Jim Dolan, so of course Dolan is loyal. Isiah brought us all-star point guard Stephon Marbury, franchise cornerstone Eddy Curry, and hall-of-fame coach Larry Brown. He set new standards for management employee relations with his deft handling of the Anucha-Browne Sanders situation and the intern truck girl.
I'm positive that every move Walsh has made has been facilitated and informed by Isiah's previous set up moves. Any success from here on in is really attributable to the moves Isiah made in collecting all those assets that could then be moved or bought out to increase the team's flexibility, which I'm sure was all part of the plan to begin with.
Now, with Walsh in ailing health (he was recently seen in a wheelchair) and looking for a successor, Dolan has positioned Isiah to step back in when the time is right, and resume his rightful place at the helm.
