That includes the players, who will meet with Walsh next Thursday for exit interviews. Walsh said he would not specifically ask their opinion on retaining Thomas but would consider their views if the subject arose.
What do you think most of the players are going to say - the guys that Walsh will have respect for?
Malik? Q?
Q might be a bum with a bad back and a brick for a shot - but he is a winner and tries every game.
This and other quotes from his coverage:
Walsh will go into the process with “an open mind,” but added: “I still don’t think that we’ve played well. There’s a lot of things I want to talk about. So it’s not totally open. It’s not like I’m going in saying, ‘Well this has all been great, so what do you want to talk about?’ I think there’s a lot to talk about with everybody.”
While Walsh declined to offer a timetable for deciding Thomas’s fate, the decision is likely to come soon after the season ends next Wednesday. If a new coach is hired, Walsh said he wanted him in place well before the draft in June. The Knicks have the fifth-worst record in the league (23-56) and could land one of the top three picks, pending the results of the draft lottery.
There is no way Walsh is keeping Isiah.
