ISIAH COULD COACH KNICKS IN SIN CITY

NY Post

"Owner James Dolan's plan to install Thomas as coach makes sense because Isiah believes in the roster he's assembled, even though others don't. The players never sensed Brown believed in them, and his rips in the media and record-setting lineup changes eroded team confidence.

Dolan's handling of the Brown divorce is despicable, letting him twist in the wind while forcing him to run pre-draft workouts. But even Brown understands why they might want to go in another direction. He's just furious it has dragged on 33 days.

Brown was a disaster last season, treating the Knicks' 23-59 campaign as extended training camp. Some players didn't believe making the playoffs was his top priority, and that his agenda was changing the roster and experimenting.


The Post has learned some players sensed Brown appeared "angrier" at them during the six-game winning streak in January - which struck them as bizarre."


Thi article gives legs to theory (formulated by a few people on this board)that Brown tanked the season on purpose for his own personal agenda and to try to turn the media against Isiah and his supposed flawed roster. The season was almost an afterthought, as Brown pocketed 10 mil for the season to run an extended training camp, and to snake Isiah and Dolan in the process.

Instead of trying to fix the problem (which is what he was graciously paid to do), his agenda was to expose the problem.....Get this guy off to the next town already.......

I don't care what these players think about Brown, not one of them, aside from Malik Rose has any relevant credibility about what it takes to win in the NBA. Theres a reason the Knicks were able to get all these misfits so easily and thats becuase they are uncoachable and gutless. So coming from these players all of these quotes don't mean too much.
