Here is something that Layden, and by implication Dolan, never understood: public relations matter. Consequently, Isiah and Layden could make identical moves and Isiah would be shown more patience by the media and the fans because he knows how to schmooze them.
YOu are right in many ways but before we cry for Layden. He was hired in the summer 1999 (Ed we barely knew ya and thank goodness) and was fired in December 2003. Now I ain't no math genius but my computations come up with approximately 4.5 years as GM of the NY Knicks. Isiah Thomas was hired in December 2003 and is presently GM of the Knicks lets see that gives him approximately 1.5 years on the job. Let's use that old subtraction table and I get, hmm.. approximately 3 year difference.
What's your point again about Dolan, fans, media not giving who what when how?
