A move destined to keep the Knicks a mediocre team for many years to come...
NEW YORK -- Isiah Thomas has shown enough "evident progress" to earn a multiyear contract extension, several New York-area newspapers reported Monday.
The New York Times, citing a person "briefed on the matter," says Thomas will sign the new deal to remain both team president and head coach on Monday. The Knicks are 29-34, but are in the hunt for their first playoff berth since 2004.
The Knicks won 23 games last year under Larry Brown, who was later fired.
A spokesman for Madison Square Garden said that Knicks owner James Dolan will meet with reporters on Monday morning. He is expected to announce Thomas' extension during that meeting.
No terms of Thomas' reported extention were cited. He is the Knicks' fifth head coach since Jeff van Gundy resigned in Dec. 2001.

Knicks went to the playoffs in 2004?
Congratulations Knicks. Making it to the playoffs in the terrible East.
A homeless man could have coached the knicks to the playoffs.
hope he pulls a larry and bolt
Wow. So managing & coaching the highest payroll in basketball to a losing record in the East is progress.
Stupid, stupid, stupid Knicks. I guess they figured it would be a while before they can recruit any replacement to take over a ty team with no cap space or draft picks.
Even better, Isiah's extension just gives Bill Simmons several more years of material. Not that he needs it, because he is bright and funny, but his takes on Isiah are classic. In respect to comedy, the extension is a coup for everyone involved.
He seems to be a better coach than a GM, although he drafts well.
Maybe now he can take us all to RED LOBSTER!
I opened this thread thinking it's going to be one of those fake articles threads!
wow, just wow!
