Please just Quit and take the high road - or in your case the low road.
Just do it - Pease how bad can a GM and Executive be in multiple sites in recent years?
Thank you very much.

A lot of teams are thanking him.
He should take the Indiana job to avoid further embarassment.
I can't believe that this guy is allowed anywhere near the decision making process for a professional basketball team.
I mean really, you could do a better job GMing by throwing darts at names on a wall when you're deciding who to trade.
Well, I appreciate that he is giving Malik the time and minutes to prove himself as a future Eastern Conference Allstar...![]()
why? So he could turn them into a division II team?
My favorite part of the Isiah running the Knicks saga was when he first got hired, SI did a feature on him, and he was in his office with his son and the writer, and the writer asked what he learned from his experiences running the Raptors and coaching the Pacers, and he said that the main lesson he's got is the next time he gets to run a team, he won't listen to other people's opinion's anymore.
How's that goin?
What ever happened to whottt? I remember that guy defending Thomas as if his life depended on it about a year ago. Wonder if his opinion has changed at all.
I believe his response would be "he drafts well."
Yeah, I still remember whott insisting that Rose for Mohammed was a horrible deal for us based on the thoughts of some random internet poster on the ESPN message boards.

He'll be able to recruit great players in IU just because he's Isiah. He'll certainly do better than Davis.
Isaiah is not a bad coach or talent evaluator (as evidenced by his solid drafts) so I think he would be a pretty good coach. It's this whole trading thing that he sucks at, so maybe since he can't do that in the NCAA he'll be a decent fit for them.
He was coach in Indiana and he did exactly nothing! (Not to mention, that he benched Brezec for no reason)
Yeah, Isiah had some really talented teams in Indiana, and he led them to a first round exit every year. Once they got a decent coach they finally became a contender (which Artest quickly destroyed).
He is good at drafting...
Here are his Toronto drafts:
1.Damon Stoudamire
2.Marcus Camby
3. Jimmy King
4.TMac
With the Knicks:
1.Sweetney( this is starting to look like AHF's fantasy team)
2.Ariza
3.Channing Frye
4.Nate Robinson
5.David Lee...
Um...there is only one crappy pick in his entire draft history and that's King.
Now someone needs to show that he sucks at drafting...
As far as the Knicks...the Knicks were a mess that hadn't made the playoffs in 4 years when he got there...they made the playoffs his first year as GM.
Last year they missed it...and this year they probably will too...
But everyone seems to piss and moan about the Knicks payroll as evidence he is an idiot...well...the Knicks don't want a small payroll...having big contracts allows them to pull off big trades...
Like oh say...adding Eddie Curry, Jalen Rose, and Steve Francis all in the same year.
As for the Nazr/Malik trade...
Nazr is averaging what...5 points and 5 boards a game?
Well...ONE of the #1 picks we gave up for Nazr, David Lee...is averaging 4 points and 4 boards per game....and he's doing it for a of a lot cheaper than Nazr....
And oh yeah...he just managed to hire the coach of the defending conference champs away this past offseason...
He's aquired huge loads of talent...he's been flawless in the draft...and he hired arguably one of the best coaches in history away from a conference champion.
Now exactly what more do you want him to do?
Suck ass and luck into getting Tim Duncan and David Robinson a the same time?
He's got the first part down cold, only he gave away his lottery pick to Chicago.Now exactly what more do you want him to do?
Suck ass and luck into getting Tim Duncan and David Robinson a the same time?
He's still got Toronto's lottery pick...and our #1...and probably Eddie Curry...and David Lee, and Malik.
Meanwhile...Nazr will be in Chicago, along with his lottery pick, and we'll have?
Go read what he said last year...he wasn't trying to cut payroll, he wanted draft pick...the Knicks have the highest ticket prices in the league and NY is not a rebuilding kind of town...
He's getting a lot of blame for Layden's mess, ...there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever the guy has an eye for talent....Tim Duncans and David Robinsons don't grown on trees.

Another trophy?and we'll have?
You've convinced me.
Knicks > Bulls > Spurs.
My only hope is that someone buys knicktalk.com off of me in three years for a hefty profit.
Selectively stupid as ever I see....
I am sure Isiah hates himself for trading away the Knicks' trophy, I mean Nazr.
IF only the dumbass had Tim Duncan like a smart GM does...
Just explain 15-41 to me in non-rebuilding terms.
Because to me .476 > .402 > .268
No, it's Denver's pick. The 18th and 28th pick in a weak draft, great![]()
Thomas is good at drafting but he is a bad GM.
And Nazr is way better than Lee, you can't compare stats between an undersized PF (easy to find : Singleton and Hayes wasn't drafted and Evans was a secound round draft pick) in a 15-41 team and a center in a 44-12 team.
That wasn't GM genius. That was called being able to throw a huge pile of NY cash at an egomaniac.And oh yeah...he just managed to hire the coach of the defending conference champs away this past offseason...
BTW, that egomaniac lost by 30 last night.![]()
It's not like with the Knicks he's had that much to work with. The key is going to be what he does with Francis and Marbury. He did the Orlando deal to get better talent. Now he has something to offer a team to entice them into a S&T for a star free agent.
